    • Can anyone enlighten me regarding Gaelic Warrior, I see according to the racing post he is rated 117 if this is his official rating surely he won't get in to this race.

        The trainer entered him in GB recently and he got a mark of 129.

          On that, do we see him getting in? Just in at the bottom I suspect but it could be tight. Wonder if Elliott leaves Fil Dor or Pied Piper will be left in top weight.

            129 would make the cut in each of the last 5 years so no reason to assume he won't get in this year as well

              Thank you for your wisdom, can I pose a slightly different question regarding G.W. is that 129 an official rating or could it be reviewed.

                It's the BHA Handicappers official rating.

                If he doesn't run before Cheltenham, then he can only have his handicap mark amended based on the cappers' view on any collateral form changes from the races he ran in France

                  • Maybe a stupid question - but where has all the hype come from given GW is unraced in the UK? Does his French form have much to it? Stable gamble? Must have had some money down to be 9/2 fav unraced since arriving

                      The French horses he finished in and around are now rated in the 140's and 150's. French ratings mind you.
                      But I personally researched him and expected a rating of 140+, so didn't back him when everyone else did.
                      129 was a surprise.

                        And I'm just hoping he wins to continue the Maxios juvenile winning streak that started two seasons back

                        • Mark Howard in last week's Sporting Life article then tipped him up and went into the detail. Sorry, cannot link it. Mind you that was a good week after it was highlighted here. Maybe Mark is a Fat Jockey?

                                I initially had him as one for the triumph and backed him with a free bet. Unfortunately didn’t take the boodles price when he was a decent price with not wanting to touch without nrnb.
