Ladbroke Trophy (Hennessy)

[YoungHustler]

Vinndication, galloping at Newbury this morning and jumping five fences and jumping out to the right again at all of them. Santini not very impressive and his partner Beware The Bear working a lot better tbh.

Yeah, Vinndication was awful. It was his jumping in general, nevermind to the right. I'm still hoping they run him as have backed him antepost with no cashout but I think it's doubtful based off that workout. Lets just hope he schools better before then and they let him take his chance.

Epatante looked very well to say the least...

Epatante looked very well to say the least...

.....running in a straight line next to Altior.

She looked very well at the absolute most as well?

I've just caught a bit of twitter, what a huge over reaction - when let's face it, no-one really knows what they're looking at



She'll probably get cut on the back of it.

She looked awesome keV. There's no getting away from it. She made Altior look like a selling plater. She will be cut based on that and I suspect Altior will drift.

Didn't she just. They said she has improved from last season and I can believe that now. Yes it was a racecourse spin but a decent one and she looked awesome.

Lobos, you don't think Shishkin should be favourite for an Arkle.

What if we see a video of him also looking good? Would you then think he should be Arkle fav?

What if Altior is thrashed at the weekend?

Does that make you think Epatante maybe isn't as good?







Way, way, way too much being made of this 2f video.

Shiskin shouldn't be 9/4 having not jumped a twig.

The way Altior looked v Epatante he would be thrashed this weekend . She wasn't even trying and he looked knackered!

P s it was over a mile at least !

I wish we'd have seen Vautour's work the last time he ran had a jog before Cheltenham.




You're making far too much of it. Writing off Altior yet it enhancing Epatante's claims.... they aren't the only two options.

I'd written off Altior prior to this gallop but that only confirms it for me now. He's not the same..........imo.

Epatante on the other hand.........big tick !

[Captain Chris]

Safe to say I'll be backing Epatante over Altior in the Queen Anne next year...

[Kevloaf]

YoungHustler has highlighted Nicky has got the excuse that Altior is a week behind.


If nothing else, that just proves going over board on that short video clip is borderline silly, when we haven't got all of the facts.


No offense intended, but nobody on here is a good enough judge based on watching horses work, and if you are, then step forward so we can all learn something.... because the reaction to this piece of work has been hyperbole to ridiculous levels.

We dont know what weight they were carrying

Hendo works them based off their official ratings... Top Job from altior there giving Epatante 9lbs

Was very taken with how he ran right through the line

Thanks MB

Spectre kindly confirmed the news that Aiden Coleman will be riding Epatante in the Fighting Fifth and not Nico, I could easily be putting 2 and 2 together and making 117 but it suggests Hendo has some interesting runners at Newbury and his main (only ?) Hennessy dart looks to be Beware the Bear who ran very well last year.
Taken the 33/1...
