    • Aww ballix! That one has hit me the hardest this season! Damn it! More bingo with Mcmanus runners now, again?

      • That Turners is looking atrocious, IMO.

        Think it's going to be about as strong as last seasons Supreme, going forward, IMO.

        Final Demand and The New Lion the only potential 'stars' and I'm not a fan of the latter at all, don't think he'll be a 'star' regardless of if he wins the Turners or not.

          The Yellow Sleigh wins all

            Whereas the Supreme looks loaded.
            I wonder whether there'll be a shifting of targets, otherwise there could be some seriously talented horses finishing 4th and 5th if they all stand their ground...

              Yeah, Supreme looks much the better race, IMO, too.

                I'm really hoping he runs, to add some depth to it.

                I didn't include him in my initial post as nothing is confirmed with him yet.

                  Loving it. He’s my fancy for the race. It must be nailed on he turns up for the turners. Gordy has 2 or 3 chances in the spud, and the second favourite for the supreme. Unbeaten grade 1 winner and plenty of experience

                  • Yeah you'd think so.....

                    But I do think he could be swayed ..... he'd have a favourites chance in the Albert Bartlett, and will be 3rd fav at the moment in a Turners

                    I am getting spooked

                    I've got him covered for both FWIW

                    • The decision to only enter Salvador Mundi for the supreme only gets more baffling as the days goes on.

                        Please please please send Kopek to the Turners (I can only hope)

                          That would be the dream. We are back to square one with the mcmanus runners. I am in two minds whether Kaid D'authie will go to Cheltenham. If Kawaboomga was fit I'd say he wouldn't. They already have The New Lion which is Skeltons mount so we are back to Kel Histoire and Kaid for Walsh. Kaid has been taken out of the Supreme though so declaration day could be interesting.

                          edit :- I know the jockey arrangements would have been the same anyway so the last bit doesn't really make sense. Wonder if they will let Irancy take his chance in the Supreme

                          • The Turners this season reminds me of the 2019 renewal, when City Island won the race. That was a poor year.

                            But a little bit of hope, as the same owners also have James's Gate, I was surprised to see him still at 12's NRNB after the Kawaboomga news, that said he hasn't done a whole heap, but what he has done he's done pretty easily.

                            Yes, I'd rather back 8 year old James's Gate, than The New Lion I'll get some pelters for that, no doubt, haha!

                            Final Demand will be this seasons Champ, should have gone 3m, end up finishing 2nd to something with a turn of foot.

                              Make that 2 of us​​​​​​

                              I backed him on bf couple weeks back when i was told the Coral weren't on the cards, he'd have a small chance in the race for sure

                                Just got that feel of a 'City Island' type of season. Probably complete bias with James's Gate though as he runs in the same colours, so a case of seeing what I want to
