  • Galopin Des Champs impressive there, could mean stayers hurdle next season instead of fences?

    Comment


    • Some performance that, also really impressed with the run by gentlemansgame after a busy few weeks for him.

      The Brown Advisory is becoming a race to look forward to!

      • From going off 100/1 in his last G1 to that. Is it any wonder they take the absolute piss in the handicaps?

          Would have to be on the table, that was very impressive! Well done anyone with the 40/1 today/any.

          • All depends on what ammunition Willie has come March, but I would not say Willlie targets Stayers off the top of my head. Though GDC was my first bet fir RSA, so he better not!

                  Langer dan off 140 will probably go off odds on next time

                    Looks like some performance from him too that day considering where he came from. Greatwood perhaps?

                    • Kilcruit with a good win there. Patrick's record of picking the correct horse in the big bumpers must be pretty bad?

                        Telemesomethinggirl @ 13/2 - will probably be my biggest bet of the week. On the face of it this looked like a slightly odd move by HDB - 2m to 3m is a tall ask, but then I look at how she settled at Cheltenham (which was a previous issue) and how powerfully she hit the line going away, combined with her previous wins over 2m4f, and I think this is a sensible move. I am not sure what their long term ambitions are for her, but the mares allowance is invaluable and perhaps wont be around forever, so there's every chance they aim her at next years stayers hurdle and this is a sighter to see how she gets on.

                        Mortal @ 80/1 EW and Foxy Jacks @ 33/1 EW - 7 places. The case for an 80/1 shot will always have holes, but I quite like Mortal here. The run in the Irish Grand National was full of positives. Up with the pace, jumped well, just clearly didn't stay. I don't think he wants an inch past 2m5f. 8 months ago he was beating Robin Des Foret, Livelovelaugh and Us And Them, so he'd not devoid of ability and he's slipped 2lbs below his last winning mark to 145. I don't think he'll win, but with 7 places I'd like to think he might hit the frame at a massive price. Foxy Jacks is a complete lunatic that almost certainly doesn't want 3 miles so back in trip off a very low weight makes sense to me.

                        Really looking forward to the other races, its just a tough meeting to get right so only betting on 3 of the 8 races today.
                        Managed to belatedly get Foxy Jacks at 28/1 today, so thanks for that tip Charlie - nice little earner for me this evening

                          Excellent pal, me too! Traded at 60's in running after that mistake too but it was a superb ride off a low weight. Lovely winner going into day 3 cause the first two for me have been more miss than hit

                          • Ronald Pump & Pure Genius double for me tomorrow, 48/1 with 365.

                            No doubt I’ll have a dart or two at the other handicaps, but they be my main two for tomorrow.

                            • Cracking shout on Foxy Jacks, charlie! Stings a bit for me, backed him a few times and let him go today. Need to listen to you more often, haha.
