Fulke Walwyn KIM MUIR Challenge Cup Amateur Rider Handicap Chase

[Lobos]

They’ve known for some time now he needs to go left handed and needs 3 miles....it is very clear they have been protecting his mark for some time now. He has to avoid his one howler he makes most races. Clearly from others comments I am in a minority but I have been waiting for the left handed 3 mile scenario and am happy they’ve waited for the festival....though suspect I may be alone in cheering him on. I did highlight him on here when he was 25s any race with Sky and 5s to place any race (5places for handicaps) though I suspect most thought I’d lost my marbles.

I'm with you Rooster. Followed you in on that 25/1 TWAR shout and it looks like we did the right thing.

[Quevega]

If you get the time Kev watch the videos of the last two runs where he was kept very wide and jumped left on right handed tracks. Both runs screamed 3 miles and left handed to me and the fact he went right handed again after Kempton and essentially hid behind LHomme strongly suggested handicap mark to me.

one thing that is also interesting with him is that every time he has run with a mark his rpr has exceeded his OR often by a fair bit

yes he can be a bit of a monkey, yes he often puts in one really bad jump but I am convinced he is a chunk better than 137 with the right set of conditions.

Who do you think will ride ?

[Rooster Booster]

I mean I hope he is having backed him pre season but he just looks a big uncoordinated dope to me

Yes I can see that but one thing for sure I don’t want to be watching this race knowing I haven’t got him on my side as he is one horse capable of an rpr at least 10 above his mark and has almost achieved that the last twice going the wrong way round over the wrong trip. He also could be an in running job especially if he lines up on the inside and gets into a nice thythm over the first couple.

[Rooster Booster]

Who do you think will ride ?

If I had to guess I’d say SAm Whaley Cohen

[Lobos]

If I had to guess I’d say SAm Whaley Cohen

I'd be well happy with that.

[Rooster Booster]

I'd be well happy with that.

Me too. Horses tend to jump well for him imo

[Liammet]

Trying to work out who Jamie Codd will ride here to get a price before it is announced

Although some people might already know giving the money that has come for Smoking Gun in the last few days

Anyone think he could ride anything else in this ?

I am presuming Rob James will ride Frontal Assault ( he won this for the same connections on Milan Native ) a few years ago

Smoking gunn

[Lobos]

We don't even know the entries yet so trying to guess jockey bookings at this stage is an impossible task.

Grand paradis?

Gordon named him as his other runner in the stable tour

[KevMc]

I’d guess (and hope) that it’s Smoking Gun.
Part-owned by Gordon, same as Measureofmydreams was when they punted the ears off that the other year with Codd up.

[Kevloaf]

Codd has ridden Frontal Assault twice before

[Birds Nest]

My thought was that rob james would partner fakir dalene in this, he won on him in jan....

[billymag]

Fakir D'Alene will have very little chance of getting in this race Birds Nest, runs today and could easily be Gordons and Giggs Number 1 for the Browns/RSA.
