        That's quite intriguing. As he's already had 3 runs and earned a mark, are they keeping him ticking over by having a flat run whilst avoiding him going up any higher ? I'm clearly clutching at straws here. After all, he's the only horse I've had a bet on in this so he has to be the winner right??

                    I only backed Glorious Zoff on Saxons advice but have just spent the last hour looking at him in more detail. His maiden win jumps right out at you. He absolutely sauntered to victory beating a horse called Crassus by an easy 12 lengths (could easily have been doubled). Crassus was the evens fav on the day on the back of running a big race 5 days earlier when not yet asked a serious question when falling two out in a race won by Zanahiyr of all horses. He was upsides the now Triumph fav and going just as well when getting the Hurdle wrong. On that piece of related form alone, Glorious Zoff would have a glorious chance off his current rating in the Boodles. I then wondered why he was running on the all weather in Ireland tomorrow and it's clear to me now that , as a light framed neat little horse, they don't want to/need to run him on desperate winter ground and possibly bottom him out. He's the only bet I've placed on the race and I'm now very happy with that as he has a hell of a chance ! Cheers Saxon !........again !!

                      Got a hurdle mark of 131, and only 70 on the flat, so it could be a good prep run to keep a mark for the Boodles.

                        Yes Saxon ! Change 'could be' for 'is' and you'd be spot on I reckon.

                          Will the Dundalk race be added to the Irish race planning diary for next year ?

                            Depends how well it goes for Glorious Zoff.

                              • I am as guilty as anyone for seeing Glorious Zoff's performance as highly promising, although in hindsight, I think that Crassus massively underperformed as his confidence was shaken from the Ballinrobe fall. Still, GZ ought be on a nice mark by now after Sedgefield and Doncaster - to the point that those efforts would struggle to see him get into the race!

                                I did one of these for the Triumph and while looking at the Fairyhouse race, I figured I would also do one for the Fred Winter. Interestingly (AND THIS IS NOT A TIP), Gordon Elliott runs just one horse in Teahupoo who beat recent Newbury winner Good Ball at Auteuil in a decent time. With the yard not firing at the moment and already having an abundance of Triumph types, I wonder if Teahupoo could be the Fred Winter horse? That said, if he wins against that lot despite the yard being off form then he has another Triumph certainty on his hands.

                                Incidentally, Diego du Charmil and Katgary were each having their first runs for Paul Nicholls having already earned their marks in France, although he does not have any such types in the yard at the moment. That said, all nine of his placed horses in the race were ex-French hurdlers which this season, gives him Good Ball (126), Hacker des Places (136), Hell Red (134), Houx Gris (130) and Monmiral (143). There's also Siroco Jo who did bobbins on his Kempton debut, but could be feasibly treated as a result.
