How the very heck does Shishkin get that without a mention for Envoi Allen? Because people trying to defend over-rating him in the past is the answer!

Nothing there about Shishkin.

[Exar Essay]

Jeez. The 25/1 about Gaelic Warrior with PP was holding fine for a few days. Then today, I’d noticed two “big” accounts quote Patrick and Willie about him stepping up in trip. One included the aeroplane emoji the other the eyes. And would you know it, the price is now 10/1. You can guarantee most top horses will get this treatment before the summer.

Skybet have just given him a haircut (16s from 20s) while he was in betslip after reading this

[Saxon Warrior]

Patrick Mullins mentioned on ITV Gaelic Warrior would be better over further. Will be interesting to see if/how he jumps a fence but 25/1 for the Brown Advisory currently.

Also Patrick said he would be better going right handed, and get closer to IEP.

Not something I want to hear when backing a Festival horse, ‘Better going the other way round’

….still 22-1 with Lads boost.

Not sure re EA, but imo Shishkin has not been overrated in the past.

I’d be backing another in those colours over GW. The Gunner Yeats will be a staying chaser to follow and I’ll be writing a piece in my 2024 diary shortly.

Marine Nationale will step up in trio and go for the Turners I'd imagine.

That would surprise me. Looked every inch a 2 miler in the Supreme to my eye.

[Mighty]

Barry O’Connell has name-checked the Arkle for MN, and Good Land for the Turners: https://cheltenhamm.attheraces.com/n...upreme-novices'

….the 33-1 with Sky for Captain Teague (Ballymore) is pretty much double what’s available elsewhere. Ran a very decent race in the CB & Nicholls might be more likely to target the Festival after having a decent week.

There's no way Good Land is a Turners horse anyway. BANC or even 4 miler.

With regards to Marine Nationale, I think his stamina will be put to better use in the Turners. And if Constitution Hill and State Man go chasing then it will become a formality.
