Have to say this looks the weakest Hennessy I can remember, very little depth.
I'd love Coneygree to run well but I don't expect him to be winning, Total Recall could be a star but needs to do it in races like this before he can be considered the real deal.
My original thinking was for A Genie in a Bottle and I've seen nothing to make me change my mind, 10/1 paying 7 places looks an ew steal in a race I can only see 4 or 5 capable of getting into it....
I don't get the love for total recall. Frank Hickey summed it up for me on the RP postcast. He likened Total Recall to an ugly lass who had been for a makeover. She may now look beautiful, but she's still ugly. That tickled me.
The offer of 7 places is ridiculous. I'm going to back a couple of others later in the morning. It is too good to refuse.
Have a great day Kev. Main bet is SingleFarmPayment,main hope is A Genie In Abottle and the one who seems totally overpriced at 100/1 ew is BigBadJohn (decent course form and will enjoy the ground). Good luck everyone!
First of all, please let me vent. I was distinctly unimpressed by the Racing Post analysis of the 1.55 at Fairyhouse yesterday when the reporter as good as accused Kevin Sexton of not trying on the 66/1 winner - it was bizarre and 'forced' me to write a blog entry http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-...f-kevin-sexton
On to more fun matters: My five for today at Fairyhouse are:
Makitorix - really interesting that Mullins would pitch him into such a tough race
Nichols Canyon - invariably runs well first time up
Yaha Fizz - thought he ran really well at Punchestown first time out and, if he gets lead, will take some catching
Rathvinden - one of Mullin's most underrated horses
Call the Taxie - this is much more his distance

I'm a bit confused, the horse won, so who cares how it is ridden. Some of the best hold up jockeys on the flat circuit just manage to get their mounts up on the line without issue, and other times they completely fail. That's racing and you have to accept a ride for how it is instructed and then carried out. There are many 'bad' rides in racing, but rarely does someone come out and say they've seen a bad winning one!
I'll be honest, I don't even know the journalist you are talking about anyway so he is massively insignificant, I don't like the RP either so thats probably why I don't know him!
Red Jack @ 8/1 looks far too big to me. I can't let him run unbacked at that price. For me, he is the best of JPs in this race. Mengli Khan the one to beat though.
