Morning, pilgrims.
Got it totally wrong with Cole Harden at the weekend. Solid return to form from him. Will probably get a 5-6 lbs rise in the weights now so almost certainly won’t be handicap bound at the Festival. Although I do wonder if such ‘honesty’ was the best way to play things.
When it comes to roguishness though the one yard I do excel on is the Pipe’s. It was obvious what they were up to with Champers On Ice and who on earth were the fools who back him into joint-fave on Saturday?!? Everyone of them should be sectioned. The form book comment re his run from Saturday is ‘stayed on well after 2 out’. I’m sure Champers will now get a perchings reduction and will dot up when stepped up in trip next time. Now qualified for the Grand National I’d be fascinated to see if he’s entered.
