    Head in chest for 2miles 7 furlongs. She's no World Hurdle horse though.

    Hope Shaneshill is okay.

    Hmmmm. Not too impressive. Thought Shaneshill (known to the commentator as Bellshill <doh>) ran well until falling at the last. Seems to be OK

    VVM is such a lazy bitch but you got to love her! Cant see her winning Stayers hurdle though so it will be interesting to see what route they take with her. Patrick looked well pissed after that fall there!

    What a ****ing mare that is. Destroys Harry (if given the chance!) in WH for me.

    Shaneshill is a right good 3miler but he needs to sort his feet out. The mare would have likely won but would have been good to watch.

    There was a constant flow of money all week for Clondaw Warrior and he certainly ran very well. VVM didn't settle at all during the race yet still won well enough.

    Mares hurdle I would think. Two and and half looks her best trip. She's more than capable of holding her own the stayers though.

    We watched a different horse. I thought she cruised round with ease. Calm, comfortable and massively within herself then found very little off the bridle.

    Ruby said she took a hold and idled when she hit the front.

    I don't think she quite gets the trip

    Ruby said she was pulling herself up once she hit the front. With that allowance she'd be very hard to beat wherever she goes. Snow Falcon was well beaten there today by her and he was going as well (at least) as Harry was at Newbury....

    In saying that she'll likely be in the Mares and she absolutely hacks up on the snaff there.

    It may appear that way but she didn't switch off one bit during the race there today to look at her.

    Sure but beware it's full of Southwell sprinters and dodgy jumpers at Sedgefield

    Mullins just saying the same "she didn't switch off the whole way around which is unlike her and she did well to do what she did"

    The Lexus appears to be the first decent race of the festive period and its not even a good Lexus.
