He was one of Willie's 2 horses to follow

Indiana Dream was a 'Dark horse' for Willie in the RP stable tour.

Corbetts Cross goes BANC for JP COD. Was doing all his best work late on when winning last weekend. He's been backed in again today for the race. 14's into 10's in the last couple of days.

That's fine, I have him covered, doesn't mean he won't run more than one in the race though

Absolutely. He could run 2/3 in each race and still have some to spare.

Not sure if this is in jest or not but that’s exactly what I thought post race. As soon as the markets open I’m going in on SAF for GC 25

Aye, I was serious. Think the Gold Cup possibly suits him better than the BANC! Obviously got to prove himself in novice class first but looks the ideal type for the test of the GC.

More so than the King George imo. Which was what my initial response was to

[BigChaang]

….looked for this myself an hour or so ago. It’s the type of offer PP put up. I’m sure there’ll be an offer soon as they have Stage Star Ry/GC.

What price is that one Egg's ??. ( stage star ).

I like mine better

Expecting Saint Felecien to go well today. And plenty of talk of it being a boost for Facile Vega after!

I'm still holding onto some hope that Saint Felecien is Turners class to be honest. So he'd want to be winning today with the experience and fitness edge over his main rivals.

I've added Monty's Star (MS) @ 40/1 for the BANC. That price sees like a massive over reaction IMO. He drifted like a barge pre debut to the point where it was obvious nobody fancied him to win or even run well. Made sense as one look at him and he was carrying loads of condition - he was enormous. All that said, he's ran a race fit rival to 3L over a trip too short and posted a debut RPR of 140. It's was a massive run with loads of promise. The winner, who posted a debut RPR of 124 obviously had race fitness on his side, but he wouldn't be anywhere near as good a jumper as MS who jumped superbly. We'll probably next see MS in the Neville Hotels Novice Chase where he reposes CC who is 5/1 second fav. Could easily see him reversing that form if he comes on for the run and improves for a step up in trip, both things that realistic to expect IMO. He obviously comes with risks as a 40/1 shot but he's a good 40/1 shot that you are likely to find, IMO of course.

As a side note, loved that from SAF yesterday. The second has been a big talking horse for a while but SAF despatched him no problem and came out the race as the best horse, under conditions that probably wouldn't have suited. Happy to have them both onside but I'd be pretty sure SAF would beat Giovinco were they to meet again.

Just realised that SAF beat Monty’s Star in his point win
