@PaulKealyRP

Been looking at Ladbrokes Trophy - surely OK Corral doubles in price at least? Last horse I would dream of backing


****************************

So we know Quevega isn't secretly Paul Kealy....

He does often concur with my thinking to be fair.
But I've managed to keep the waist down much more successfully, despite similar excessive drinking.

Took 14s each way Elegant Escape (4 places). Must go close here surely. I’ll cover OK Corral on the day each way (5/6 places)

The hills 20/1 about EE has been slashed to 12/1. It’s EE owners 60th bday on Saturday so here’s hoping he has a good one!

[Quevega]

took a chance west approach is declared and backed today at 15.3-1.
No idea what power will ride but will affect price either way.

[samcow]

just saw he shortened a lot with bookies

[ELEGANTLY TASTED]

I would imagine Power will ride Mister Malarkey.

I would imagine Power will ride Mister Malarkey.

would you like him on yours ??
or has Tom got the ride for life ??
sometimes a horses jumping can improve with a different driver and make all the difference required to get to the next level.
Insanity and all that.

I would class Robbie Power as one of the best jockeys currently riding. Tom O Brien isnt at the same level, so I would like Robbie Power to ride but ultimately Robbie Power is going to ride Lostintranslation in the gold cup so I dont think it would be right to put him on for this only for him to get back off in March.

Im expecting Tom to ride Elegant Escape on Saturday.

Harry Cobden has ridden the champ a few times in the past so I wouldnt guarantee that Tom has the ride for life.

Tom has the better record on the horse but Cobden has really come of age this season I think. He is committed to other places though.

Backed Yala Enki for this @ 25/1. 8lb better of with EE for 5l beating in last years Welsh GN

[SeanRock]

Does Kalashnikov @ 10/3 look a good play tomorrow in the 2m4f handicap to anyone else? Think he’d have beaten Forest Bihan at Aintree lto if so many fences weren’t bypassed it turned into a sprint in the end.

He & Glen Forsa look the only two real graded class horses in the race & Kalashnikov should have the fitness edge. The galloping track at Newbury should suit too, he relished it in the Betfair hurdle.

whats Jonjo oneill jnr like as a jockey?

He looks very good so far, although not sure how many big field chase handicaps he's ridden in.

Already on Ok Corral 20-1 - 2pts, and WEst approach 15-1 2pts.
pleased that jockey of the moment is on west approach, and might be gambled on the day, but I think he may need the field to be stretched out up the run in to be able to challenge late.
Think Ok Corral is far too short in the betting now, but happy to have it on side.

2 outsiders I'm looking at are Walt, and Joe Farrell. There don't look to be too many second season chasers in here that are well handicapped so might go for something else that's performed well recently and look reasonably handicapped and in form.
Will watch markets before betting these though.

He'll be the next big thing. He's really good imo and a positive for any horse

[Faugheen_Machine]

Walt is one I'm interested in at the prices Q. Someone will go 6 places

Dingo Dollar 33/1 ew
Elegant Escape 22/1 ew

[Big Bucks]

Cheers chaps, gunna put abit on Mister Malarky i think. Already on EE at 20s.
