Adonis looks tougher than the Dovecote so hardly surprising that Alan King sends Grumeti to the 4yo+ race. Doubt he would be thinking of sending either him or Balder Succes to the Supreme given that he has a decent arrow for that one in the shape of Montbazon.
This from alankingracing.co.uk: "NEARLY all the racecourse preparation work has been done for Cheltenham now, but, while most of the team have completed their mock-exams for the Festival, the one exception is Grumeti, who will have his dress-rehearsal for the Triumph in the Dovecote Novices’ Hurdle at Kempton on Saturday. Grumeti, unlucky not to be unbeaten in three races over timber, was also entered for the Adonis Hurdle on the same card, in which he would have met horses of his own age group, but, not for the first time, Alan has opted to take on older rivals. Alan said: “We weren’t going to run Grumeti again before Cheltenham, but ‘Choc’ (Thornton) has never ridden him on the track, so we thought it best he get a feel of the horse before the Festival. “I felt that we could get Grumeti a bit better than he was in the Triumph Trial at Cheltenham, and his subsequent work at home suggests that he has come on. He has been in terrific form, and taking on the older horses is something I have done quite frequently – I did it with Balder Success at Ascot last week and it worked there, so, hopefully, we will get the same result.” Interestingly, the web-site author also can't spell Balder Succes properly

3 at sandown 1 at war l15 ew and accumulator Egypt Mill Spirit Promised Wings Mid Div & Creep The Musical Guy Stay Frosty
Afternoon all Any thoughts on the 3.10 Warwick? - i like the look of Thomas Crapper, 4th last time after meeting trouble against 2 decent horses looks good in the context of this race as far as i'm concerened. Only his 3rd hurdles start so he could well improve again and is my only bet of the day
Jeez, its a short priced fav or long odds day today... But ive gone with the longer odds runners today... why not...!!! Warwick... 3.10 - The Musical Guy, 12/1 3.45 - Knighton Combe, 9/1 4.50 - Surf And Turf, 7/4 Sandwon... 1.50 - Unex Picasso, 10/1 2.25 - Wester Ross, 3/1 4.10 - Andreo Bambaleo, 12/1 4.40 - Dont Tell Sailor, 7/2 Good luck to all who play today...
Not such a good days racing, disappointed with the Sandown card, twas this time last year that we fleeced them down there and met good old Stickler and his better half One bet for me: 410 EW on Bedouin Bay at 12s, trainer said he is one to follow Be lucky all
Very tricky contest Ouijaboard - will the Nicholls runner be fully tuned? Will the 6lbs penalty be enough to stop the Henderson runner? Tarn Hows is consistent but keeps getting beat. I think William will do best of the Twisters and, as you say, Thomas Crapper's proximity to It's a Gimmee and Baby Shine LTO gives him every chance and he is probably the one to beat on that piece of form. 6/1 currently looks a fair price.
Just been sent this Tom visits Dave who is laid up at home with a broken leg Dave says "My feet are ****ing freezing mate nip upstairs and get me slippers please" 2No probs" says Tom Upstairs Dave's stunning 19 yr old twin daughters are sitting on their bed "Hello girls your dad sent me upstairs to shag you two" "**** off you liar"They said "I'll prove it " said Tom he shouts down stairs "Both of them Dave ?" "of course you stupid twat,,,,,,,whats the point of only ****ing one" made me smile
Thought RVs horse had got a superb chance turning in then, but just could not find anything. Another Rock of Deauville?!
chaps any of you simonsig backers will be happy to know that boylesports will be refunding all bets if an irish horse wins the supreme
I've got Fairey Delta on my alerts and at 22/1 i'll back it e/w in the Warwick bumper. Don't like the race placement but the price makes up for it.
