    Colour Squadron to prove McCoy wrong.


    Hidden Cyclone certainly has the ability to close and with no Katenko I would have him in my idea of the frame.

    Race has cut up a bit so Hidden Cyclone looks best ability wise and Colour Squadron looks best handicapped.

    will stick to that plan.


    Didnt realise Johns Sprit wasnt in JP colours.

    Hey, Wooly and Beefy, our boy is only 6/1 JF. Hope you took the earlier odds.

    I still think Battle Group makes plenty of appeal in this - Kevin Bishop has somehow turned him into a monster and 150 looks manageable - he twatted Johns Spirit 19 lengths at Aintree and OK, the latter has a 13lbs pull but he is only 6/1 whereas you can get 20s on Battle Group.

    Nah I rarely touch antepost post Ron especially in these big handicaps. The on the day markets are so competitive you'll usually see bigger odds on the morning than a few days before, and with BOG thrown in as well, ante-post is pretty unattractive for a race like this.

    That and the fact with these pesky handicaps I'm likely to change my mind, at least once, before now and off <laugh>

    cheers ROTO....my knowledge on jockey weights is poor <laugh>

    race looks short on classy operators now so the Graded hurdles form of Colour Squadron stands out from this mark.

    Will Hidden Cyclone go from the front?

    He's not without a chance Wooly and ran well last time, in with a chance until blundering his way over the last, and has a 13lb pull with John's Spirit taking into account his rider's allowance.

    The top three are all very good animals toppy but there certainly isn't much class in depth - granted

    Bit of a marmite horse but i'm going to go with Rajdhani Express. Have liked the horse since i first saw him run. A lot of people think he's over rated, but i don't and only time will tell. Am going to hold out for 12/1 or maybe even 14's.
