  • Where do we think Three Stripe Life goes next year? He looks a real stayer to me but I'm not sure his jumping is good enough to go over fences

      Entered in the bumper at Naas next Thursday.

      Same connections as Minella Indo, Monalee etc.

      Won his only PTP December 2021. Visually impressive (when they weren't behind the trees) but not really sure what he's beaten.
      Don't know loads but one that is of interest, for sure.

      P2p is hard to weigh up, he's absolutely hammered them but what he's beat is probably very little, looking at form since. Got a decent RPR for it though and the time was pretty good for the day, I believe.

      Sire is new and unknown but was a decent flat horse. Dams side plenty of stamina.

      Hard one to weigh up, but 16/1 for any race may be appealing.

      Just as a side note, there are loads of really good p2p potential top class horses, yet again. Henry seems to have been sent a fair few of them too.

        Not bad that, was a bit disappointed with the 25/1 from B365, probably being a bit greedy he is a festival winner. Hard to see Sir Gerhard going back in trip so Arkle probably the percentage call at the minute.

        • Have backed Vanillier at 33s with Bet365 for the stayers. Hard to see him over the larger obstacles, and would be no surprise to see him revert to hurdles. See how this pans out.

            Think he will start at Down Royal in that 2m3f beginners chase Gordon uses each year

              I've had him added to the AB and Bally markets (both 33/1 with Paddy Power). Given connections and the PTP performance, I am tempted to have a point on him but was wondering if anyone knew anymore about the horse, particularly why the 15 month delay to his first appearance at a racecourse.
              One of Henry's betters one based on his PTP win. Henry has quite a few novice hurdlers for next year that are highly rated. Byproduct of his great 2021 festival.

              • I find Willie Mullins hard to work out when he's talking about dropping Galopin Des Champs down in trip. He surely can't be talking QMCC after Energumene looked a totally different prospect held up and Nicky is taliking about stepping Shishkin up in trip. I'd be amazed if he were sent out against Allaho who can surely win yet another Ryanair.
                He's also metioned that he will be coming across the water a lot more from now on in which tells me Gallopin Des Champs looks a good ante post bet at 10/1 for the King George. Bravemangame's trainer has history in the race hence the short price of 4/1 but I doubt if he would see the way Galopin went if Willie Mullins elect to go that way.If he does go that way the Gold Cup could be his for the taking. Personally I think he's that good

                  He could also have Ferny hollow in the qmcc, if he can stay sound next season.

                          I'm concerned enough about mine being closed so only have 1pt and a 1pt roll up on it.

                          Hopefully my tremendous form in all things not Cheltenham helps keep me safe

                            I can see him going up in trip at some point to, so Champion Hurdle and then the aim of the GC would be a huge dream and potentially possible one
                            Assuming he stays sound the problem starts if he were to beat Honeysuckle in the 2023 Champion Hurdle. That would most iekely take him to the head of the best Hurdlers of all time. If that becomes the case I can't see Nicky or Michael Buckley wanting to go chasing until such times he loses a Champion Hurdle. I know Dawn Run went chasing but her Champion Hurdle was far from a classic and the emerging Browns Gazette looked different class to anything she had ever faced over hurdles.There must be a possibility Constitution Hill may never see a fence if he keps doing what he did to Jonbon and Co in the Supreme. All ifs and buts but he does look the buisness.

                              I guess the fact it's spelt wrong won't have any bearing on the bet?

                                Probably only find out if its a winner
