Will chance Nemean Lion in the Champion Hurdle, as if jumping holds up then looks overpriced Each Way...currently 28-1
I hope you're right swanny. I love this horse and was on at a huge price for the 2.5 race. nothing on for the supreme yet but will be fully invested tomorrow!
Supreme - Mystical Power Arkle - Quilixios Ultima - Gevrey Champion hurdle - Namean Lion ew Mares Hurdle - Marie’s Rock ew Boodles - Ose Partir Hunt Chase - Corbetts Cross
Soft, heavy in places now, maybe heavy first race. Inspection on the Cross Country course tomorrow 8 a.m., maybe to be run on Friday.
1:30 - Mystical Power - Could just be something special, should stay longer trips so don't mind the rain that's come. 2:10 - My Mate Mozzie - Feel like he's been massively underrated. Was ridden right out the back LTO and just failed to get up. Strongly run race and not given a mountain to do I can see him travelling well coming to the last couple fences. 2:50 - Trelawne - Should love the ground and the form looks good. Monbeg Genuis - Jonjo knows how to win this and they went close last year, campaigned towards this. 3:30 - State Man - terrible race 4:10 - Ashroe Diamond - Given the rain and the trip I need to go against Lossiemouth. Ashroe ran well against the geldings this season. Small EW poke at Gala marceau. 4:50 - Ose Partir - Brassil is a bit of a genuis with Cheltenham placing and has campaigned this horse in graded races. Gets a pull in weights with a couple of rivals here. EW on Nara also. 5:30 - Corbett's Cross - Think he's the class horse in the race, question of him staying.

my prediction today is that this has to be the most difficult opening day of the festival that I can remember. not only are there a lot of very open races anyway, but with the conditions now heavy.....well good luck everyone!!
I do like the look of STUMPTOWN in the Ultima. Everything seems to be in his favour, and festival form
Slade Steel impressive winner of the Supreme. Was going away from the rest of them at the finish. Rachael Blackmore is one terrific NH rider, rode such a cool and confident race. Very happy for Henry de Bromhead too. A darn good trainer, and a real gentleman.
