July ‘23 Yankee

[Eggs]

I'll definitely keep banging the Drum for The Real Whacker - gold cup .
At the price available , with his Course record ., got to be worth Considering ... .

….seems a bit of love on here for TRW so he has to be a consideration. PP have Fastorslow at almost half TRW odds, can’t recall him getting a nomination on here so I’m assuming posters think his victory over GDC was a bit of an end of season oddity.

Good Land - Turners 20/1

[Lobos]

We've done 4 yankees so far and 3 have El Fabiolo in them. Is it worth covering Energumene in one?

We have no idea how the Novice Chase form compares or how El Fabiolo will perform in Open Company so I'd agree

[callhimgamblor]

Yes. Happy to add Energumene into July.

Selfishly, I need some other runners for the Arkle and Champion Hurdle to go alongside Marine Nationale and State Man in those. Maybe another Bartlett horse as well to go against Lecky Watson. My only runner in that so far....

Will also dig into the Hunters Chase a bit more too as there has to be more to it than just Premier Magic....

Will dig into those and get some names.

Finding hunter chase and Bartlett winners is hard enough on the morning of the race let alone now.

I’d be looking at
Impaire et passe - turners
banbridge - ryanair
barry the butcher - ballymore

….didn’t somebody post IEP staying over hurdles?

I like Banbridge myself, I suppose the risk is whether JoB keeps him for Aintree.

I’d be shocked if IEP stays over hurdles, he looks like he needs further than 2 miles after his Punchestown run. I don’t see Mullins wasting 2 bullets when he already has state man.

Yea I’d agree, the only way I can see it playing out that way is if Stateman doesn’t stay hurdling.

Although Mullins did toy with the idea of SM going over fences in 2022 early stable tours. I don’t think we have got any indication of that happening now.

[Guinness Village]

Couldn’t have IEP for turners. He is the best 2m hurdler that Willie has. Will go champion hurdle IMO. Stateman will not beat CH. if we’re talking bullets, he’s a blank for Churdle. Anyway, Willie runs all his best in the race . Always has. He won’t rely on a single runner.
If you want a Willie horse for turners, why not champ kiely, who is definitely going chasing. Decent price, too.

[Guinness Village]

I would suggest
ballyburn supreme. I think tullyhill and fact or file likely to go over longer
champ kiely turners. Will go chasing and turners or BANC probably target
teahupoo stayers. Definitely stays, probably ground dependant, but will be on the premises
dinoblue mares chase. Proper improver and probably stays. JP other good mare probably for Ryanair
come and have some thoughts. I’m thick skinned enough

[Spectre]

I think The Real Whacker would go close in the Ryanair. I'm totally unconvinced for the Gold Cup though. He was tying up towards the line in the Brown Advisory, looking as though he was at the end of his stamina limitation. Gerry Colombe would beat him a fair distance over two furlongs further in my opinion. Is Gerri Colombe already in one of these as an alternative to Galopin?

If the Hunter Chase is being considered, I'd put up Rockys Howya. He should have been at least second to Premier Magic last season. being hampered certainly cost him second place. Only a seven year old, this years race and an extra year of experience won't be lost on him next March. He's also recently easily accounted for current 6/1 favourite It's On The Line, and is available at 14/1. Finally, unlike several of the selections so far in the yankees, he's certain to go for the race.

I’ve been focussed solely on Gerri Colombe for the Gold Cup to the exclusion of all other horses, at this point

His portfolio of three Grade 1 wins and a Nose 2nd in another Grade 1, is miles ahead of any mid-trip or staying novice chaser last season, and 7/1 for the Gold Cup for a horse only beaten once (by a nose) in his whole career, seems a very fair price (to me) for the Gold Cup.

I will add Galopin later on, no doubt, to more than cover any Gerri Colombe stakes, but for now, my main focus is on Gerri.

[callhimgamblor]

This will sound odd now but I was literally looking at Rockys Howya this afternoon. I'm up for putting him in. And I like Gerri Colombe for the GC though I have both him and TRW already. Would happily put both of these with Energumene and then one other....

[callhimgamblor]

P.s. to throw my two pennies in IEP goes Turners IMO. State Man will be the Mullins CH bullet. Would be happy with him as the fourth.

The only posts I can find about him staying over hurdles are all people saying "wasn't there talk of him staying over hurdles..." without any details or reference....
