Well Timeform have the Racing Post pretty well covered . An article the other day recommends backing Jacobean, there is an article today boosting Celestial Path and in the ATR Timeform view they go for Elm Park. I'll be LMAO if they all get beaten by Joe's outsider.
Nice NH cards tomorrow and I fancy the following: 2.25 Chepstow Mosspark - Emma Lavelle took this last year with Shotgun Paddy and she can follow up with Mosspark here. He probably found the ground too lively at Cheltenham when running no sort of race in the Albert Bartlett but there will be more juice tomorrow and he can get back to winning ways over the larger obstacles. 3.35 Chepstow Son Du Berlais - amazingly Mr Henderson has never won the Persian War but he can put that blip right with Son Du Berlais who won hard-held on British debut and could be absolutely anything. Telling that McCoy comes back from injury to ride this one. 4.10 Chepstow Regal Encore - the champ can double up here on Anthony Honeyball's gelding who still looks nicely handicapped, gets his ground here and also has the first-time tongue tie applied. 3.00 Aintree - the Old Roan looks a good competitive heat and whilst I am not tipping him, I am really looking forward to seeing Bold Sir Brian back on the track. Hopefully he gets round OK and can get back on track after a lengthy absence. Rajdhani Express will be thereabouts. 4.50 Aintree - Timesremembered landed me a really nice touch in the Persian War last season and is switched to fences on seasonal debut. A really strong-travelling sort, I think he could thrive on the bigger obstacles. Should be a really informative race.
I had Mosspark down as a serious, serious novice and was so disappointed when he ran no race at Cheltenham. The Albert Bartlett ended up with a shock result that day and I think Mosspark can develop into a real nice animal. Looks a chaser.
Dont worry, they have that covered as well, they tipped it a couple of hours after me at 16s. https://www.timeform.com/Racing/Articles/RP_Trophy_Preview_Another_grey_day_at_Doncaster
Chepstow have a nice card tomorrow featuring the Grade 2 Persian War novice hurdle at 3.35 and one I'm very sweet on in this is Nicky's Son du Berlais 9/4 Take the price, like a lot of mine this will be go off a good bit shorter
Hope you are well Toppy - I see you are well into the NFL at the moment. I must say, the American's have a great culture around their sport and the watching of it. I was in a sports bar in Wichita, Kansas, last year and they had the usual big screens dotted aroud the place, but also a series of booths along the walls - table for 4 and each table had its own HD TV on the wall and you could simply tune in to any game you wanted (it was baseball season and we had a choice of about a dozen games). Imagine going into a sports bar in the UK and having RUK / ATR in full HD on a screen right next to your table.
Donc 2.10 Code Red 8/1 3.50 Restorer 20/1 (already advised) Newb 1.50 Not So Sleepy 4/1 4.40 Danehill Revival 6/1 Leop 3.45 Ebasani 11/2
and what did they say in that same article?...... "Elm Park feels like a bit of a default favourite, the only one in the field to have proved himself at Group level when winning the Royal Lodge. At 5/2 against potential on the scale that this field offers, he’s easy to oppose."
21st Oct Celestial Path is harder to ignore. You’re compelled to listen when Sir Mark Prescott campaigns a horse so aggressively. Celestial Path was sent to a good maiden on his debut- he won a good maiden on his debut. He went straight from there to a listed race, which he won even more emphatically. Conditions shouldn’t be a problem and Celestial Path, who’s entered to run in the Derby when most of the Prescott string will be making their handicap debuts, appeals as a smart colt in the making. We wouldn’t rush to put you off backing him at 6/1. We think we’ve found an even better bet, though. Around 12 months ago a grey son of Mastercraftsman came into the RP Trophy after winning the Autumn Stakes. His name was Kingston Hill and he went on to win at Doncaster, before having what’s by any measure a highly-successful three-year-old season. Restorer fits in snugly with Kingston Hill’s profile and really should be shorter for this race than he currently is.Recommended bet: 1pt each-way Restorer in the RP Trophy 23rd Oct Let’s not get too down on O’Brien, for now at least. After all, it’s difficult to infer what sort of conviction was in his earlier forecasts from ink on a page. Plus, he’s ended up sending across the member of his entered sextet that Timeform fancy is the most promising: Jacobean. Recommended bet: 1pt win Jacobean in the RP Trophy 24th Oct Those races weren’t strong, nor strongly run, as would have suited him better, but the form doesn’t count for so much as the impression in the case of Celestial Path, a big colt with a big stride and a big engine, still to be fine-tuned. On top of that, the Racing Post Trophy looks a substandard renewal, and the stage is set for a different character, out of character. ATR Timeform View. Aidan O'Brien has a fantastic record in this race and Jacobean looks the pick of his pair, while the unbeaten Celestial Path is clearly held in very high regard given he's a rare Group-1 runner for his yard, but Elm Park is the one they all have to beat after his convincing success in a Group 2 at Newmarket last month. Timeform 1-2-3 1: ELM PARK (4) 2: CELESTIAL PATH (2) 3: JACOBEAN (5) So are they paying out ob 4 places?
It's taken me by surprise actually Oddy. Casually watched the Superbowl last year and found myself loving it. Like anything, once you understand it it suddenly feels a more accessible sport. I've build myself up gradually over the past few weeks and really enjoy it. It is well overhyped in their media but at the same time that makes it a great spectacle for us and you know what- it's a breath of fresh air and lovely changeup from the standard Premier League stuff and boring Sundays. As its in the evening, its really great timing in TV terms. A nice new dimension to have! All good thanks- hope you are? Hopefully Mosspark shows up as a good jumper tomorrow because he definitely has the engine. Just rewatched him from last year- he was a big baby and very green. Hope you see a much stronger, bulkier horse that has grown into his frame tomorrow
In the Persian War tomorrow, wasnt it Blaklion who was quoted as to be leaving everything for dead in the Twisters yard last year? At the price im happy to take on the favourite
Just want to wish massive good fortune to the don and his gorgeous boy HARRISTOWN tomorrow. He too gets his ground tomorrow and has a mere twenty odd lengths to make up on Regal Encore with just a 2lb pull. The baby in the field tomorrow and anyones guess as to how much he would have beniffited from a Summer in the field. Will surely come on for the run but don't be surprised if he does make the frame. GOOD LUCK!
Just a shame of all the teams to follow you picked the 49ers Going to the Wembley game on sunday and really looking forward to it! Being an Atlanta Falcons fan though im sure i wont be enjoying it come the end of the game!
I'm a Canadian Football fan myself, have been for donkey's years. Although very similar, I think it is a better game than its American counterpart. Certainly faster. Calgary Stampeders from the day I arrived there long ago. See they are top of the Western Division of the league this season, and have great hopes of them winning the coveted Grey Cup this year. Go Stamps, go!
Hey Swany, when I was in Vancouver a few weeks ago I went to watch BC play. Great stadium....bad result!
Well 49ers is the team I first ever look out for because that's who my dad followed back in the late 80s early 90s on late night TV. I'm still finding my feet and maybe I'll fall in love with a different club after I've had more time to soak up what they stand for, traditions, and people etc. But I kinda feel acquainted to the 49ers
