    Wasn't 18 months, unless we're cancelling a year cos of covid.
    But I do like his profile as an older horse with good back form having dropped shitloads in the weights.

    Won't be Fav though will he ?

    Using more Non than Common again.
    I blame it on your excitability.

    • Just delving deeper into his form.....back to his Novice chasing days.... interestingly just pipped into 2nd off levels by Global Citizen who won last year's Grand Annual. Better off with him at the weights now. Beat Nube Negra back then as well. Wasted a season with Paul Nicholls who couldn't get the best out of him so back with his old trainer now who has had a festival winner with Simply The Betts.

      Pretty much hits all the trends as well...........

      Might have to go in again......

      • No chance he's sexy enough to go off fav.... being aimed at the race will be true of half the field.

          Who will go off fav?? Looks a lot of crap at the top of the market to me and plenty that won't run.

          When he got pipped by Global Citizen he had your Fanny Destruval and Edituer Du Gite miles behind. Some race that.

            You do realise horses develop at different rates, right?

            EDG was rated 122 then Also, I thought Kevs horse was Funambule Sivola not Fanion D'Estruval?

                  We should have a "have a lie down" emoji.
                  Like a fucking Jack Russell, yapping away and always getting under my feet.
                  But loveable

                                Yep wouldn’t be the first time the trainer hasn’t been able to improve an import and goes on to blame the horses wind and performs 84 wind ops as if to prove it.

                                A genius of a trainer but finds it difficult to admit he can’t improve a horse. He may well be a lost cause, but I’m with you I think his old mate could well get something extra out of him, Ive taken the risk and I’d rather be on the side of oh well it was worth a try than shit lobos was right
