        Yep now willies are arriving at the track fitter Gordon is no longer getting his own way and race fitness is becoming less and less of an issue.

        • Blood destiny will need to have calmed down to be getting 2m4f on this ground today

          • Serious performance that.. Could easily drop back to 2m with the way he was jumping them too

              Looked a very competent performance to me. Heart Wood is race fit and was put away before the second last. Beat him at least as easily as Grangeclare West. A drift before the off about BD too which suggests he'll come on for it.

                Absolutely no chance. She's not even in the conversation. She hasn't beaten a horse that'd be shorter than 100/1 in a BANC has she?

                Only horse she's met that would is Grey Dawning, who walloped her 14L


                Absolutely pie in the sky to fancy her for a BANC ..... No one that didn't back her before she ran would fancy her, it's confirmation bias and she's just not good enough. Move on.
                Not even in the conversation, what was you smoking last night?

                Fwiw there's no bias towards the horse, I haven't had a penny on her. I'm merely looking at the horses profile. She's already beat the current favourite over hurdles. Lucinda's are rarely ready to win first time up if they have bigger assignments down the road. It shouldn't have been a shock a race fit Grey Dawning beat her. Especially the way Dan's are running second time out.

                We don't even need to go back that far for an example. Just look at Ahoy Senors debut over fences after winning the Sefton the previous year. Off the back of that effort you could have come to the conclusion he had no chance. He ended up finishing a good 2nd in the Bancs.

                ​​​​​​0% chance sounds a bit on the low side Kev

                • ….Blood Destiny a best 18-1 Turn with Sky. 16-1 BANC with PP.

                  • Just a word of warning regarding Blood Destiny, whilst it was a very nice debut from him, he was getting 8lbs off everything today, something he won't be entitled to come the festival.

                    At least we don't have to worry about Spanish Harlem being one of Willie's potential top novice chasers either.

                    • Mullins beginning to slowly take control as December turns towards Christmas. Who'd have thought. Has this ever happened before?

                      Seriously, that was impressive from Blood Destiny. Jumped like a season chaser, not a novice.

                      • 100% CoD, I'm always incredibly wary of 4yr olds performances over fences because they get such a weight allowance they get which disappears 1st Jan.

                        I did however think Blood Destiny was a lay today. Hearts wood form over fences is pretty decent.

                        • I'd like to see blood destiny go down to 2 miles after that

                          He was very fast at his fences and also on the landing side

                          Go back to 2 and let him rip

                            Yeah the only race I've just backed him for is Arkle at 20/1.

                              I'd imagine Willie will want something in the arkle to give facile vega a strong pace to aim at

                              Blood destiny could do that

                                Will suit Marine Nationale more than Facile Vega IMO
