      Most likely Sandown.
      Just depends if Nicky wants a 16 day gap to Xmas hurdle.

        He's not adverse to running them with short breaks in between. IMO he'll still go for Sandown and Kempton.

          • Good chance of seeing CHill at Sandown, according to his trainer.
            Will be there so fingers are well and truly crossed!!
            Be great to see him.

                A big rethink

                Nico said he felt like he had a load under him and she found nothing

                  I've had the same experience with a few mares in my time

                      I get the feeling he'll be pulled as the ground looks like turning heavy based on the forecast. You just can't win with Nicky.

                        Well it’s a bonus if he does run, as was not expected when I booked tickets.
                        Hopefully the rain won’t spoil it too much.
                        Potentially Jonbon, CH and Shishkin on show.

                        Forgot to say……It was heavy when CH won the Tolworth.

                        • I'm surprised the Goshen fans haven't been pumping his chances in the FF should CH miss the race. He clearly loves deep ground and going RH and his record at Sandown is spectacular. Currently 25's.

                          Even I am tempted

                            "spectacular"
                            Are we not factoring the standard of race ?

                            If the fighting fifth was going to be held at Cartmel would Tonto's Spirit have a shout ?

                              I'm no Goshen fan but a bit harsh id say.

                              2nd in G2 beaten head by Knappers Hill

                              Won Listed Contenders

                              Beat Thyme Hill 34 lengths giving weight

                              ​​​​​​​Not bad.

                                I know his form.

                                "Not bad" vs "Spectacular"

                                I'll vote "not bad".

                                And Tonto's Spirit beats him in a match race
