Have to say there is something unnerving about this Ruby/Paddy Power love in.From what I'm told Ruby is quite the greedy little boy and would do anything for a few quid so expect this blossoming relationship to continue and for Ruby to pop up once a week on Power radio to feed us the usual waffle.(no dig at you Attivo, thanks for the sterling you put in on the forum)
Oul' Chappers appears to be the main focal point throughout all of this debate. He courts controversy doesn't he anywhere there's a bit of a debate to be had, he's in the middle of it. Good luck trying to get the song out of your heads now!
I would be all over Redhotfillypeppers, i thought Willie would send her to the Cheltenham race. 1 for the future for sure.
Its actually a smaller field than usual but plenty of quality involved. The Mullins horse looks very useful and the Nicky Richards trained Illwalktheline is in my tracker but its a real toss up for me between Petticoat Tails and CAP SOLEIL. I think CAP SOLEIL narrowly brings the best form to the table and the 4lb age allowance just about gives her the edge.
I'm slightly worried about the trip with Cap Soleil stick - her 2 wins have been over 1m 5f and 1m 6f and she would have been beaten by the Henderson filly at Cheltenham in another couple of strides. I wonder how well she will see out 2 miles on soft ground at Sandown today? I thought the Mullins mare looked a really powerful sort on debut and I just think she might have too much for Cap Soleil. I'll probably dutch the pair and double both with Lithic in the 1:50 who looks chucked in even with the 5lbs penalty - absolutely sluiced up last week, never had a race.
This is like how I'm betting in Hunter Chases, anything that has Maxwell on which I think will need assistance then I back against it. The same can be said for the Corinthian Dunsdon, who I understand is the owner too. If the mare can win on the bridle then fair play, but I'd rather be with Petticoat Tails.
I wasn't taken with Petticoat Tails at all last time out Nass - very vigorously ridden from a long way out and, whilst she prevailed in the end, she would be in danger of being dropped by the field today if she is similarly unwilling.
Very different task today though. That day she was giving lumps of weight away I think a bigger field and a better pace on more testing ground will suit her perfectly. She looks a proper stayer and off level weight I think she will travel strongly into the race and outstay them in the testing final couple of furlongs.
The Redhotfilly had a few lbs to shed still after that last run too Oddy. Not sure what the British contingent are like but the Mullins mare will be tricky to beat. Good luck if you are on
CAP SOLEIL taking a right walk in the market so not for the first time in my life I am switching fillys! Two against the field in a very poor Imperial Cup are; Kayf Blanco and Not Another Muddle
3:30 I thought Whatsdjazz 18/1 might enjoy the Sandown course today. She was green on debut but stayed on very strongly after being outpaced to win from Molly Childers, who wandered and lost a couple of lengths. However, I think on soft ground and a stiff track like Sandown, Whatsdjazz can improve again and should be staying on strongly.
