      Ruby said she is unrecognisable from last season. In a good way !

        She is one very much on my mind but the trainer is having a shocking season so far. If she wins despite this I’d say that’s a tip in itself.

          I thought it was quite interesting that he had Gidleigh park entered up for Exeter today, seemed pretty sure he was running him there when I read an article. Also sounded pretty keen to take it slowly with him.

          Next thing you know he's entered him up in the lightning novices chase over 2miles.
          obviously I'm hoping that's a sign he's been showing the right signs at home.
          All pocket talk speculation of course

            Agree, he's been in desperate form. Maybe he's had his bad spell and his luck will change..He said she was as good as any Mare he's had . If she's as good as Love Envoi then she just wins doesn't she ?!

              Oh I think she’s good. Looked like a wooly mammoth before her season debut, did more wrong than Mundi (think this needs to be the universal benchmark from now on) and still found a way to win. I hope she’s at least in good enough shape to herself justice. We shall see.

                Interesting betting as they have Caldwell Potter fav and L’Eau du Sud 2nd fav! If the latter runs it’s a steal in my
                opinion.

                  Apparently they are owned by the same owners - they’ve said L’Eau likely to wait to the Kingmaker at Warwick, while CP may run this weekend. CP was 5/2 first show.

                    That’ll be a showdown with Sir Gino then if LDS waits for Warwick.

                      Thought Gino was going Game spirit?

                          Sir G sounded more like game spirit to me.

                          • They’ll all avoid each other before Cheltenham. Caldwell Potter on Friday, L’Eau de Sud Kingmaker, and Sir Gino Game Spirit. There’s zero incentive for trainers to give them a hard race and shatter dreams before March.

                            The 2m novice chase scene needs a cull, or some of these (one of the Kingmaker/Game Spirit) turned into a handicap. And I hate handicaps - but it will force the clashes we all need to see.

                              Game Spirit is an open race though. No need for Windsor to have a 2m graded novice chase though and the Kingmaker is a better Cheltenham trial than the Lightning.

                                No need for windsor whatsoever.
                                Should be closing courses not letting new ones take races off other tracks.
