          • Was bang on form with his this time last year, hope to bump into him at Down Royal as was very keen on a few decent winners at the meeting and told us that confidently last year! Might even back a few blind of his next week!

              I did wonder whether after today, he'd be chucked into the G1 2mile novice hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas as not to disturb his mark further and then go for the County off what would surely be a mark not higher than very low 140s even with tax. Only needs one more run to qualify.

                Great shout, finish a distance 4th to some Mullins rocket over 2m and wrap him up then

                • Not very inspiring from inthewaterside, huge looking horse, only resonable target would be the albert after that. Nicholls was right about him being a big chasing type..

                      He’s a handful by the looks. Pulled for 2 miles but still out his head down to win. I can see the Bartlett argument, but it might be that coming back to 2 suits him. Could let him bowl off the front then. I could see him being this years Tolworth horse for Nicholls.

                      • Hard to judge any horse on that today - the race was a farce, ran at a crawl and a 5f run in. That Aintree fixture is a shambles every year

                          Going for the Ballymore trial grade 2 at Sandown over 2m4 at the start of December according to Nicholls. Won by Henri the Second last year.
                          ​​​​​​
                          Could then follow a similar route to Henri the Second and go for the Ballymore trial at Cheltenham at the end of January if he does settle.

                          Tolworth horse could be Irandando Has or Welcom to Cartries if we see them out in the next month?

                          ​​​​​​​I can't see them going for the Bartlett after today.

                              My Trump Card and No Time To Wait too. I was surprised not to see the Yellow Clay on the list.

                                Not sure who will be declared from them. Might see Zefiro Dodville but I can't see him being first choice.

                                I'd be hoping the top two would be seen other shorter first time up so maybe Firefox?
