As a Gidleigh Park BANC backer I’m in two minds as to what I want to see tomorrow, surely 2m2f around Kempton will see him taken off his feet by Iberico Lord.
Maybe if GP fences well he’ll give the fav something to think about, it should tell Harry what distance is going to be suitable going forward anyway.
Taken off his feet?
He's not a slow horse, not sure why you think he is.
Is it because he's by a presenting mare?
Because as damsire he's grandkids are a mixed bag and include the current 2 mile champion chaser captain Guinness.
How keen he was in the bartlett would suggest to me 3 miles won't be on the agenda any time soon
We'll find out today but i reckon its arkle for him.

He’s more in the mould of a staying chaser than a crack 2 miler for me, if you go back to his run last year on trails day at Cheltenham he gets headed coming to the last hurdle by Lucky Place but battles back gamely staying on up the hill to get his head in front.
I’m not sure he has the cruising speed for the minimum trip, I guess we’ll find out today, Iberico Lord has plenty of boot.
Derryhassen Paddy declared at Uttoxeter on Sunday over 2m4f. He's one of my dark horses to follow for the AB.
Mossy Fen Road entered over hurdles at Hereford on Wednesday (2m and 2m4f). They seem have decided to skip bumpers with him. He's from my list of 4yo P2P horses to follow.
Mossy Fen Road declared at Hereford over 2m. I'm actually quite excited by this as I like Harry and this horse could be a flag bearer over the next couple of years for him, along with Korkoran from P2Ps. MFR has a nice page to back up his decent P2P performance.

Not one for the festival I'd assume at this stage but one to rack up some wins with on the way?

I’m there Weds so will report back Not often we get a decent one round these parts.
Was hoping to see one of Willies better novice chasers at Tramore on Thursday over 2m2f, I'm not convinced Mistergif is near the top of the pecking order. Bit disappointing, to be honest.
Hopefully he'll hold the market up so Boldog is a nice price though.

Not to be a pedant, but it's Thurles rather than Tramore. It could be important as the going at Thurles is currently "good" whereas it's "soft to heavy" at Tramore - FredFlintstone mentioned in the other thread that Thurles may not be suitable for winter ground horses which inspired me to see what the going is. Perhaps that's why none of his good ones are declared? Not sure I'd want to take Boldog on good ground though, either.

You are correct, it's because I was watching a race at Tramore earlier
