Perhaps they wanted to sneak two more runs in? Intriguing to see if he entered up for the race on Saturday or if they go elsewhere.
We'll see Nass. Talking of intriguing, JP McManus runs Jezki and Carlingford Lough in a 2 mile hurdle race at Navan today Really pleased to see Jezki back on the track, who knows, if he hoses up here might they think about the Champion Hurdle again? They already have Unowhatimenarry for the Stayers hurdle.
Haydock 1.30 Waiting Patiently It's difficult to split the two at the top of the market and I'm surprised there is such a difference in their prices. 2.40 The New One I think he's at least a stone better than L'ami Serge 3.15 Otago Trail Four places with Bill Hills. Should be there abouts at the finish if he's none the worse after Leopardstown. 3.50 Wuff He has run against a couple of improvers the last two times.
Morning chaps Shame about the abandonments today, but Haydock looks interesting at least. Telly picks are Politilogue, Neon Wolf, TNO and Alary. And because of the trainer's optimism on the Morning Opening Line, a small bet on Maximiser Good luck all
Politilogue / L'ami Serge Double. Sausiltio Sunrise 12/1 ew 3.15 with PPs Castlehume 1.35 Navan 9/4. best of luck chaps!
Champion Hurdler beats handicappers - warms the heart to see Jezki cantering all over them there, lovely slick jumps at his hurdles. Super stuff
Politilogue is going to be a hell of a horse in time, Bryan Hughes has a good one to go to war with too.
I like this Archie Watson as a trainer and he can improve the fortunes of Attain today, who is back over optimal conditions.
Waiting Patiently introduced at between 10s and 16s for the JLT. Jefferson stated he will only run at the festival with give in the ground and will get an Arkle entry.
I wish Brough Scott appeared more often on ITV Racing, would rather listen to him than Luke Harvey or Matt Chapman!
