My old fave, Cochise, goes to Bath tomorrow (3.50) for what will probably be his last run for current connections – is in the ‘Horses in Training’ Sale at the end of the month. I would have thought though that the old boy would have it all, and I do mean all, to do to get past Quel Destin running in the same race off just 66, I say 66.

Since Quel Destin’s last run on the level he has won 5 over hurdles (including a Grade 1 and a pair of Grade 2’s), for Mr Nicholls, and attained a perch in that sphere of 142.

Off just 66, back on the level, Mr Nicholls’ charge does somewhat take the old eye. Yes, I know it will be merely a ‘prep’ for bigger targets later this Autumn/Winter but you would have to say off just 66 (and The Daughter’s claim takes another 3 lbs off Quel Destin’s back as well) you would be disappointed if he didn’t spreadeagle (cor blimey that’s a good word) this field of the morrow.

Plus, the stable know what is required in this heat having taken it in ’18 with Divin Bere.

Looks a banker but 2/5 oof

Some each-way ideas for Punchestown:

2:05 The Three Wizards
2:35 Blaze A Trail
3.10 Le Vagabond
4:50 Tiantu
5:20 Long March
 
Cor blimey what a difference 24 hours make! Yesterday morn I was eulogizing over the generosity of those bookie chappies re Glory and Fortune but I certainly ain’t today re Quel Destin. By ‘eck, I say, by ‘eck.

2/5 (as low as 2/7 in a place) for a soft ground end of term Bath slog! May I confirm that I Deffo Won’t be trading at those prices. And that’s with a capital ‘D’ and a capital ‘W’. Is though still a fascinating runner and one to look out for. But 2 to bally 5. I’ll say it again – by ‘eck.

Re the above mentioned Glory And Fortune incidentally you can now get 50/1 re the Supreme and 50/1 for the Ballymore.
 
Any bankers today lads?need a winner
Welcome
No bankers from these guy's, if you watch this thread you'll understand that some are not all that...
Ron puts um up but they will be second
Bumper king is named cos he is keeps ramming cars up the arse, nothing to do with horses.
Steve is well out of form
Grendel talks a good game
Sir Barneys musings are only that
Oddog likes to join in
Pilgrim isn't named because he is loaded
As for myself....oh dear.
Grade one seems to be the one to follow.

Get a pin mate you'll do better.

Your welcome.
 
Some Nottingham ideas if you are looking for each way chances on heavy ground:

3:05 Sir Havelock
3.40 Mr.Top Hat
4.45 Errisimus Maximus
5.15 Guardia Svizzera

afternoon,fellas!

punchestown,2 05:

well,class-wise,beacon edge has a massive shout here,having been an honourable third in the valuable bumper here in may.but the value might lie with the elliott horse THE VERY MAN.his last winning form stacks up well now,and he may have had an off day on his last start.obviously goes well fresh too,so he can surely put it up to beacon edge today..
 
Good old Sam Spinner - looked badly outpaced round the bend but stayed on to great effect. Clearly wants further but his jumping was OK - maybe has more respect for the big 'uns?

Some horrible jumps in that race by all, hope SS goes somewhere like the November meeting and then we can take him on at shortish prices.
 
My stream kept cutting out Nass so maybe I only caught a couple of his decent jumps <laugh> must watch replay tonight
 
punchestown,3 45:

this will surely be dominated by the gigginstown horses here,and while their respective form is hard to assess just yet,i think experience counts a lot in these events,so i go with JAN MAAT,who looks a really decent prospect.
