The CORAL CUP Handicap Hurdle

[Saxon Warrior]

Brewinupastorm up 7lb from 148 to 155 after his mid-trip win over hurdles on Saturday.

Ballyandy down 3lb to 154 after being beaten into third behind Navajo Pass and Buveur D'air.

[Quevega]

Craigneiche up to 139.
Forgot to check this monring, so thanks Gavin Lynch.
2.5pts 18-1 NRNB BFSb

obvious credentials.
risk would be if they run him again before the festival, I hope not.

Shocka for Brewin imo, never a PB that, very harsh!

Not much else the handicapper can do

Blame the trainer for wasting that mark in a crap race

Thought he'd have a cracking chance here off 148

Looks tough now as he'd need to run to something in the low 160s to win off his new mark

Yes, looks as though that goose is well overcooked for Brewinupastorm. I was expecting more like 3-4 lbs, not 7.

Does Olly have a decent conditional that could take the 7 off, like Gordon did last year with Cracking Smart. Even then CS only managed 4th off 153 and there are bound to much better treated entries further down the ratings.

[Kevloaf]

Brewin'upastorm must be a contender as the most over hyped horse in training?

We are in a culture of you get raised for winning regardless of what the performance equates to. That was never a PB and shocking assessment giving 7lbs however it’s broken down.

Excellent point that and emphasises why most big handicaps are won by horses who aren’t previous handicap winners....

As mentioned I fancied janika for this race. Been dropped 2lbs and now on a mark of 145, I don't think the horse will be top weight either which is a good sign. I really do think this horse has been overlooked for this. I know he finished 9th but that was the horse's first run back after a break and was top weight in the race. Plus the ground may of been softer than ideal.
the horse has experience at cheltenham coming 2nd on 2 occasions in the past over fences. Still 50/1 on williamhiill just hope it will be entered for this still.

[Kautostar]

Awful run from column of fire there

[ryanh97]

Was waiting for someone to post up. Not many positives to take there

[Kautostar]

Was beaten after about 2f, that wasn’t just a non trier effort

[Atlantic Viking]

It wasn't great but then did you see the ground?! If they're looking at the festival, which presumably they are, you don't want to be putting much effort in on that. I've seen greener mud wrestling arenas.

[MTR]

I don’t know what to make of CoF there, went from 32 out to 85 just before the off, so they must of knew he was going to run like a drain?

One horse I feel I’ve got redemption to come from at the festival so won’t give up on him.
