Morning all!! Canadian for me... 1:30 Catt - Acrai Rua 14/1 1:50 Leop - Briar Hill 8/1 2:30 Catt - Endless Credit 20/1 2:55 Leop - Lord Windermere 13/2 3:30 Catt - Moonlight Maggie 7/2 Good luck all!!
Lingfield 3.15 At some stage Rocket Rob may pop up, having gone into the Timeform notebook a while back but now labelled an unreliable sort. Is on a reasonable handicap mark and Stan James list him at 22/1
Just looking at that crazy market on the Christmas Hurdle and seeing At Fisher Cross is 9/2 and thinking that's nearly a bet at that! Someone please help me, I feel dirty having such thoughts
Jaysus Identity Thief done that well didn't he. Seen him win his bumper on debut and if ever a horse was made to go into a notebook it was him. Shame he went into the hypothetical notebook but of course he went unbacked..
SESKANINE e/w at Leop 12.50 Just looked through his novice form- some excellent runs now in hindsight. Gets in off a decent mark here.
I'm finding the pa I'm finding the pages are taking longer to load than usual Ron - I just figured it was the McDonalds internet I'm piggybacking
Quite fancy the Gold Cup winner to put in a decent show today. Lord Windermere has attracted support but i think it's a fair bet each way at 5/1. He ran a terrific prep race for this last time out and I think he's well capable of being in the mix today. At the prices, I think he;s just about the one I want to be with.
Afternoon All. A double today, both @ Leopardstown. 1-50.Zaidpour, 2-55.Boston Bob. Good luck to all.
How good did kitten rock look!!!! Very very impressive IMO I wonder if macmanus will sent to Cheltenham???
I'm going heart over head in the lexus and going with bobs worth.hendo yard not really firing of late but there are positive vibes from the yard on old bob
Evening all well done today on the. winners guys haven't watched the racing was Bob's worth disappointing and was it stable form u think as some of the stables big guns aren't firing or we going to see another long run(must say am still a huge fan of his) looks to be a multiple gold cup winner then on a slight decline??
Just catching up with the festive action and thought id put together my thoughts on eyecatchers etc. Vilbrato Valtat - God's Own went a proper pace and he travelled smoothly as he normally does but he jumps so fluently at any pace and absolutely pinged the last and won comfortably enough. Still 12/1 for the Arkle but managed to get 25/1 after his defeat to Dunraven Storm. I really hope Noel Fehily keeps the ride again as he is now 2/2 on the horse. Carlingford Lough - Was travelling and jumping well in the Lexus today before he probably blew up 2 out but still finished a very respectable 5th on his seasonal debut. is 33/1 for the big 1 in March and aslong as he jumps better than he did in the RSA will stand a big chance. Monksland - Looked sure to play a big part in the World Hurdle 2 years ago but has been off since with injury. Stayed on best of the others(was last turning for home) and will be a lot better off for this run. Looks to have kept his ability. Saphir Du Rheu - Hard to give confidence about considering he has now unseated and fallen in 2/3 races so far, could be absolutely anything but will need to sort the mistakes out. Faugheen - Won well but iv still not taken to him, his jumping isnt good enough in my opinion for a Champion hurdler. Put a couple of decent yard sticks in there place though and will be more suited to Cheltenham. Still between TNO & Jezki for me, dont be surprised to see the Fly lower Jezkis colours once again over the winter though. Dynaste & Champagne Fever - Dynaste was staying on well again near the end and i hope they go for the big pot this year, i dont think there is much between the top 3milers as the Lexus showed. CF ran a good race, although many will say he didnt stay. He has never won in December in 4 attempts and is known as a spring horse, will come back better in March and again hope connections dont go for the easier option in the Ryanair.
