  • Anyone got any thoughts on one of Willie's, High Class Hero? First iv seen of him, but he's running tomorrow unbeaten in 3 starts over the mid trip and over 2m5f tomorrow at Limerick.

    ​​Possible Bartlett type? 25/1 best odds but wondered if anyone has read owt or if he's on anyones radar?

      My initial thoughts are they’re getting plenty of runs into him so he can qualify for the hcaps

        Very decent looking contest that. It'll take a good one to win it.

          One I put in my tracker not long before his last run. Keeping tabs on him although I do want to watch again really. Could have some potential over a trip.

          • High Class Hero looks an early decent type for the Bartlett already, 27-1 W Hill looks value when you look at the form of his wins, and he's unbeaten.

              Yes he's interesting, will like to see what sort of mark he ends up getting. Could be a Martin Pipe horse if they keep things light with him over winter.

                Possibly, but he's earned a stab at graded level now, so we'll see how he gets on in one of those.
                Couple of options at Cork in November and December over 3 miles, then possibly a crack at the Limerick 3 mile novice at xmas.
                He's took similar routes with bartlett horses in the past

                • A dream to share out until New year time

                  Cheltenham Bumper winner A Dream To Share has encountered a training setback which will rule J.P. McManus' unbeaten gelding out until the new year.

                  • I’ve backed Mirazur West on the back of the news and beat the bookies as they’ve cut him into 10/1.

                    He was one on my shortlist and was going to leave him until the stable tour tomorrow (if he gets a mention in part 1) but that news forced my hand a little.

                    • Well this is another bollox day with the news on ADTS and the run of Ziggy

                      • Tullyhill cut into 6s for the Supreme with Paddy's, BFSB and Unitbet. I'm sure someone with ties to the yard said on here that they think he's more of a middle distance horse, maybe the stable tour is suggesting over wise or maybe it's just the bookies playing silly buggers trying to sucker people in.

                          Just shortening the 2nd fav due to the injury news. He'll likely get his chance at the shorter distances but he looks a stayer. Still 10s and 12s available.

                          • I know tullyhill has been mentioned as a middle distance horse but he’s not short of pace and he ran a much more experienced ADTS all the way to the line at punch.

                            I wouldn’t be at all surprised if, at this stage, he was thought capable of being willies supreme horse.

                            Can’t wait to be proved wrong in the morning

                            • ….16-1 Supreme still about for Mirazur West with Hills, Coral, Ladbrokes. 10-1 any race remains with Hills.

                                Interesting just looking on sky bet they have pushed him to 14s supreme, and is also 14s ballymore which is the shortest of any bookies for the ballymore, be interesting to see what's said in this stable tour later
