    • Seen the horse mentioned, but Eva's Oksar next race likely to be the Grand National.

      Eva's Oskar has an Aintree back-up option if he misses out on the Grand National, but trainer Tim Vaughan is hopeful that he makes it into the showpiece race.

      • Anyone know if anything has been said RE Fastorslow's targeted racing in recent days? Sea of blue for this race....

          Not decided yet. Plate most likely still.

          I'm not in the know though.

            Thanks Kev

            PP pushed him out for the plate & cut him for this... Frustrating, I had a good position on him for this and cashed out.

            Thought it would be a big ask stepping him up over 3m at Cheltenham. He has been a strong traveler and quick fencing.

              Interesting. Ground / forecast maybe in their minds?

              I like him for either, but prefer the Plate

                ….having a proper haircut for this. Corals have gone from 14-1 to 8-1 in the last hour or so. Suggests he’s coming here.

                • Seriously odd campaign! Cant have been too many horses who have used the Grade One 2 miler at the DRF as their prep for this race

                    Might it have been the extra few lbs he got off the handicapper, maybe they need to find more improvement then expected and are chancing the trip. He did show plenty of stamina at last years festival.

                    I thought his rating was slightly unjust given his finishing positions this season..

                      ….from the look of it, he’d be a real trends buster if he won this.

                        Yeah I believe there’s one about RPR’s or something like that

                          It's very annoying if this is now the plan as I didn't back him for this based off Johnny Ward mentioning he had texted the trainer on Cheltenham plans(can't remember which podcast) and I had made up my mind that the Plate would be their choice. However, looks like they could be choosing this race only because they think it is the easier race to win.

                            The ground may change their mind back towards the plate.

                                If fastorslow goes this way he possibly goes off favorite going by the money that’s come for him, that alone would make it a risky bet at those odds.
