  • I'm already looking forward to the 'out in trip ' comment from Willie re Energumene this weekend after he somewhat disappoints in the HillyWay .

      • Hoping for a nice win for Jonbon, but also want a big race from Quilixios, was impressed with his run last time and be interesting to see how he fares in this company

        • I just can't see past Jonbon today, He has had a run which should mean he is fit, form at track, trip and going, basically he gets beat now I've tipped him.

              Yeah he is but people worried about the dreaded B365 Super Boost.

                  • Little over reach there,small cut of off hind,nowt to worry about,just thats why he was kicking out a bit there,they was trying to wash it off.

                    • Up there with his best performances. Best 2m performance so far this season. Doubt he wins at Cheltenham as he does underperform there but would be good to see Gaelic Warrior, Energumene and/or El Fabiolo face him at Ascot, Aintree and Sandown where he performs better.

                        I did think his performance at Cheltenham last time was his best jumping there.
                        If he repeated that in March I think he will be very hard to beat.
                        But of course GW might simply be a better horse, but he’s yet to do it at the top
                        senior level.
                        Jonbon sets the standard this season.

                        • You've just got to hand it to Jonbon haven't you.

                          Early doors was given the 'Douvans brother' treatment.

                          Then the 'Oh he's not as good as Douvan treatment.

                          Then he's not at the level of 'Constitution Hill' which in fairness over hurdles he wasn't but he's still got bashed for being 2nd best to Constitution Hill.

                          And after all that he's been a lot more sound than the pair of them and earnt more than the pair of them too!

                          Fantastic horse to own.

                            You'd love to own him wouldn't you.

                            I'm off the opinion that Douvan minus his injury would've been up there with the greats.

                              But you can say that about many, many horses in the past. I do feel we'll be saying the same re Constitution Hill in the future that he ', could ' have been a great. Horses like Jonbon with their longevity will always stick in people's minds longer and deserve a little more credit than they get.

                                Any horse that has a race record that Jonbon has deserves a lot more credit imo.
