        • Just listened to GG racing weekend preview hosted by the nice round headed fella, with the talking sheep and some teenage kid broadcasting from a crack den.
          Very dismissive of the Morgiana which I think is the best renewal for a long while.

          I'll be siding with Lossiemouth for sure but my diet coke is definitely flatter with Patrick riding.
          No matter though I'll be weighing in with close to my biggest bet for some while on anything 11/4 or bigger. I'll take 5-2 if it looks like she's getting supported but will wait it out for now.
          Already had 2pt at 7-2 antepost and another 3pt today when 11/4 was offered at sky bet.

          Balls out, what does everyone think will happen, assuming they all run ??

            I personally don't think she will end up running

            Is it a tactic by Willie to try scare off Gordon and BDA?

            The Paddy factor is abysmal to say the least.

              I'd be surprised if they fucked about with owners in that way.

              • State Man to win the Morgiana and Lossiemouth to win the Mares Hurdle

                Easy money

                  Patrick would put me off - how is he getting the ride ahead of Danny?!

                  Agree with Jim. I don't think she'll run, unfortunately.

                  • Ok, all the don't think she will run merchants.

                    I said assuming they all turn up,

                    who are you backing and if not betting who do you think wins. ??

                    • I don't think she runs either and goes to Fairyhouse to wallop Teahupoo.

                      I think she loses to State Man if she runs here this weekend, make it more even at Leopardstown but would beat him over any distance at Cheltenham. As long as Patrick isn't riding.

                      Maybe Willie just wants to see who is better early on instead of waiting. Not sure what he does with State Man though if he loses as Lossiemouth should rightly then be first choice for the 2m grade 1s - could send him to Kempton I suppose.

                        State Man wins imo but if BDA drifts, I'll probably back her given she's had a run.

                          State Man wins and it won't be that close

                          King of Kingsfield wouldn't be within 4L of him


                          Race fitness getting him beat? In a Morgiana?

                          Naaaah


                          4/5 - smash it up

                              Could be a case of Willie already talking to both owners, and letting them know Lossie is only in there as a backup incase State Man steps on a stone, and to tell Ricci to hammer that bigger price about Lossie now for the Hattons

                              I did see Paddys pushed Lossie out to 9/2 for the HG, but have sinced shortened her back into 11/4

                              • I'm sort of hoping she doesn't run which maybe tells you where I'm at. State Man is an absolute proper beast. 5/5 around Punchestown as well. Just doesn't get the credit he deserves and that includes from me. Sensational record. Just gets on with it and does the job. Simple but hugely effective. A true Champion. If Lossiemouth does run and does beat him fair and square then she'll go very short for the CH. I believe she is seriously good. Should be unbeaten. Has improved all the time and there's much more to come as well. I get why Paul has stuck with SM. He's the current Champion and has the highest rating. Lossiemouth is playing catch up. It may be that she is better and win in which case he'll just ride her from that point as the stable jockey so it's a win/win situation for him anyway. What a race to savour though if they all turn up at their best .
