    Some horse Il Etait Temps, tough as they come.

    They probably already have one eye on breeding. Jumping fences going on 8 isn't super late but it is late enough. If Brighterdaysahead has the amount of success Matnie did Gigginstown could be on to a winner in that department.

    Feel Jordan's might well have won had Ben not made that move. He'll be kicking himself.

    You're right, two rides in big fields around the outside. He doesn't fancy getting hurt before the big one.

    2026 Juveniles

    Selma de vary super keen, super wide, super cut off at the last and still finished well in 4th. One to take out of the race imo.

    I think my favourite thing to happen on ITV racing so far this festival is Tom Bellamy's Mum desperate attempt to get him out the house. That 'He's a nice lad' comment did me xd.

    2026 Juveniles

    Quite keen on Selma now after the encouraging run from the other ricci juvenile in the mares novice yesterday. The thinking would be he was wanting to keep them split with the more fancied taking in the triumph. If that is the case a big run got to be expected.

    ‘26 Mares Novice Hurdle

    Happy to take on Bambino at the prices. I'll have the Declan horse run for me at 10's, with some proven graded form you'd expect at least a run for your money. Also played Charme De Faust, love the breeding, ground a possible concern, but she's very narrow framed and didn't appear to run like...

    2026 Champion Chase

    Loved that from IET, some horse! He's so strong at the finish when racing off a fast pace. The key just might be keeping him to better ground and maybe next season have a go at the tingle creek as he clearly performs well at the track, then a break through most of the winter, freshen him up...

    Not liking how much Sortudo is sweating up, not sure if that's normal for him or not.

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    You could definitely argue the DRF and Christmas novices over 2 mile might be a bit subpar. But there is a few form lines untested yet. Talking mainly the Naas horses. The Brits felt strong in the Supreme but not quite as strong here. They can be taken on in my opinion.

    Markets just about figured out Willie's best novice hurdler so far this season is Sortudo. Fair chance he goes off 2nd fav.
