I really liked HAITI COULEURS win last time out at Cheltenham.
He seems to have a few options for March with National Hunt Chase, Ultima or Browns Advisory being options after some reading up.

Question - does anybody know his Cheltenham target ?

Trainer mentioned NHC or Browns I believe after his latest win. No mention of handicaps from what I recall but I’m going from memory here and I was transfixed by her lips tbh.

Utterly baffling to the point I think this is a JP smokescreen.

Sequestered :- has anyone got this horse on their radar? Trained by Gilligan. Ran in the Martin Pipe last year so has festival experience. Has had 4 runs as a novice chaser so I think qualifies for hvps. Won impressively last time off 125 to get RPR if 141 by 10l in a 3m hcp ch ‘sauntering clear on long run to home’ Leop. He is not listed in betting for NH Ch or any of the other hvps as yet.

Been put up to an Irish mark of 137, 20-1 across the board in ultima should provide a gauge.

Yes he’s on mine to an extent. My main concern is whether his jumping will hold up and I prefer him when he is held up so possibly not ideal for the ultima. I don’t think he’d get the extended trip so not on my mind for the NHC

Early Entries for the 8 Grade 1s at the DRF close Midday tomorrow (Weds 8th Jan)

When would these entries usually be announced?

I emailed the HRI - its 2pm tomorrow.

I think they could be really informative this year. I said earlier in the season that I don’t feel Willie is quite so gung ho with his block bookings this year, so we might get a good indication of preferred trips for horses.

Good to know

For a few of the younger horses too who we have yet to see, should be a good indication of whether we'll be seeing them at all this season.

I think aside from JP's he's likely to block book most of the rest and then bookies like PP will play mind games and yoyo with the markets for 3 weeks.
And Lobos will tell us all about it.

I'm keeping quiet and letting you all suffer in silence and pull your hair out wondering what I think.

Sounds bang on!

Bookmakers and exchanges playing silly buggers for Cheltenham once the DRF is done too!

You and I both know that's impossible in all respects.

Don't worry, I'll probably mention one or two and get laughed at instead
