PADDY POWER PLATE Handicap Chase

[That Horse]

sea of blue

I'd happily ban that phrase. The amount of times it's rolled out only for it to be mostly bollocks vexes me.

Not digging you out Punter by the way , I'm getting over a stomach bug and even more moody than usual.

All the same though, sea of blue = sea of shite

…Eliott;

We could run Riaan, Sa Fureur and What’s Up Darling here. Sa Fureur could be dangerous. He’s in good form. He wasn’t right after his last start at Leopardstown over Christmas - you can put a line through that run. Riaan was running very well in the race last year when falling three out. He needs good ground, though. The only time he got any sort of decent ground this season was at the Dublin Racing Festival and he finished fourth. This probably could be the race we run What’s Up Darling in [though he’s also declared for Navan today]. The trip could suit him. The ground was way too soft for him the last day at Gowran [when fifth]. We shouldn’t have run him, but I needed to run him to qualify him for some of these races.

I see thecompanysargeant has been backed for this. Was hoping Cromwell would send Path D'Oroux. Has something been said?

Path D’Oroux is likely to step up in trip to run here (TrustATrader Plate). It’ll be his first time over two and a half miles and we’re hoping that’ll bring about improvement.

“He’s been consistent over two miles but over the longer trip I’m hopeful he’ll be a big player. He’s one I think could be one of our dark horses and might be a good each-way shout.”

And one of the top horses for those that bet via trends/stats.

[Can't Catch Me]

Liked him last year, and whilst the step up in trip may help, he looks a bit soft in a finish to me.

Yeah, had seen that. As a result, was expecting the companysargeant to head for the Jack Richards so surprised money has come for him in the Plate. Perhaps he has been tipped by someone.

but if you read the ATR tour he says "novices' handicap" for POD. Merky

Dog of a thing anyway

* Hope punters got money back through NRNB though!

Absolute madness from the O'Neills, madness.

The record of placed horses returning to the same handicap, carrying less weight, is exceptional, and they've gone and stuck him over a trip he's run over once before and finished legless...at Aintree.

I wonder how much JP's team had a say in it. I'd imagine a fair bit. Probably realised the price was gone and stuck two fingers up to everyone who backed him

[EnvoiAlien]

Sure Quevega said it but if there's anyone who'll get a horse with a good mark beaten,it'll be the O'Neils,feels like they've zero plan and are just fumbling around in the dark with horses they campaign & work with daily, just baffled by some of their choices so far this season.
