    Yeah, not unnoticed by myself either BOF.

    Added him yesterday, for 6 places. Not sure he'll be winning it but nice returns for a place, anyway.
    Very possible in these conditions only 6 or 7 will finish so he definitely has a place chance if he can keep up

      The softer the better and it will really place the emphasis on stamina. Won LTO at Cheltenham on heavy ground, is 21 at Cheltenham over 3m+, he's more experienced this year (you have to go back to 1971 to find a 6yo winner of the KM) and Keith Donnaghue has hit form in recent days.

      I think he has a massive chance and am a little surprised he's not being better found in the market. Hopefully there are a few tearaways that go a real fast clip early to place the emphasis on stamina as I dont think anything will stay on stronger than him.
      Yep, topped up on him this morning. Think he has a great chance. Looking to now lay some of my Goffer bets as don't think he will run as well under these heavy conditions.

        • Won that really well. British 1-2. Twig with the Cheltenham form earlier in the season and running in the Coral Chase for the trends guys.

          The Goffer doesn't seem out the trip properly. Stumptown didn't travel at all.

            Twig ran a cracker! Cheltenham form is ace but had written him off due to the ground.

              Stumptown is definitely an all or nothing horse

              When he gets in a jumping rhythm he goes close, when he doesn't he's out the back of the tele

                Ignore ground

                Lark In The Morning
                Twig

                Ground is just the excuse used when a horse gets beaten innit ..... Hendo and Nico both said the groundw as against Jeriko and Iberico Pull the other one lads




                If they let Banbridge run on "soft" and he drifts, smash him up, the 5/1 NRNB is already perfectly fair tbh

                  They have already said Banbridge won’t run if the ground goes against them I thought? Which it is.
                  But I understand the point you make.

                  Agree that Jeriko and IL should have been ok on the ground. There’s something clearly amiss with some of his horses.

                    Yep, that’s two years on the trot Goffer ain’t got home.
                    Winner was very good.

                        • Entries look well down on previous years ?? Anything that wants to run can by the looks of it.

                            49.
                            76 at same stage last year.

                            45 in NHC this year, 26 last year may explain it in part.
