That's assuming ricci doesn't start pushing to go for the mares which it doesn't sound like the sort of thing he does too often.
    Possible, but without the top two it’s looking like an open race, and certainly not a penalty kick. Just depends on their outlook I suppose.
    They could end up with winning neither.

    I wonder if lot depends on how JDG gets on?
    Ground conditions will have a massive say as well as far as BDA is concerned. Deep ground will surely help her in the CH and hinder others.

    Sounds like they're maybe going to side with the safe option from that
    Key words for me was when he said 'Constitution Hill is the horse WE all have the beat'

    I hope she goes champion though for the race itself. I don't have her covered for that but 18/1 for the Mares but could give that up to see the big clash. I think whatever way you look at it though, it must be long odds on that 1 of Lossie or BDA will go for the penalty kick.
    I hope they all go champion also.
    Be a great race if so.
    One for the ages.
    And Burdett Road will probably win.

    He;s says whatever race before it and names them both after it.

    Could just as easily mean the opposite.
    Depends what he means by best.
    Can't chase Kingsfields arse in the mares for one.

    All I’ve seen is trainer saying she won’t be going after the race last Saturday.
    But things change, as we all know!!

    To add…. He was referring to handicap saying she needed another run and that wasn’t happening.

    To go Mares would mean stepping back up in distance after saying the step back helped her!!

    Who knows? And it is JP owned !! But if having a bet definitely take nrnb is how I would look at it .
