messy race that Marcel Boussac, Peace Burg overcame trouble to beat Alterite last time but has finished behind it today after travelling best, I wouldnt trust the form.
Yet that was poor from the brits. Ugly looking race. Those two huguenots on racing uk both told us tho.
I thought that was a terrible ride from Martin Dwyer. From an ideal draw he managed to get himself in behind a wall of horses, then when he had the chance to go around them, he elected to go through them. Then had to go around anyway, and by then, far too late. Race ridings easy from your armchair
Nass - your "bumper winner making debut over hurdles" to watch today is Up To Something in the 3.15 Uttoxeter - around the 4/11 mark though!! This could be the second very decent novice we see this season after The New One - both of them beat the very smart Hendo horse My Tent Or Yours last season in bumpers
Interesting horse and it would be shock to see it beaten today. Not sure how anyone can bet on a horse at those prices, especially on hurdling debut, if he doesn't win cosily it will be a moderate debut. The Mccain horse could be the one to test him the most.
Saver on Thair here, the New Approach colt should handle the ground and Frankie might nick it like Peslier did in the last.
Olympic Glory should win. But for reasons I now can't remember, I seem to have backed Pedro! Too much fizzy Irish pop last night
Cheers Reebok. Already deserted the brits now so i expect one of them will take this. Gon for Avantage and Snowday. I am keen on this Montefeltro tho Nass. Seems to me that despite their class these Ferguson horses are sometimes a little underbet.
I had a really good EW at the 16's Sizing and feel really confident, but this said i have just covered my stake with a small single on Sea Moon as they are the two who will love this going which should be classed as officially terrible. I will not win anything if Sea Moon wins but will have not lost either.
Great finish. Top two horses fought it out. But the rhythm and the camera angles of the Longchamp races is so peculiar, i can't get me head round it at all. I like it as it feels more exotic but betfair in-running play must be carnage!
I was surprised at how green he seemed to be at his hurdles, not a natural and his jumping cost him any chance with the impressive winner. Useful horse is the winner, travelled well and ran over the field with some ease. Hopefully the second can win over at Hunts.
I'll cut Dwyer some slack, as Willy Muir has just said that Purr Along came into season just before the race. Got to have been a factor. Pirika for me in the next at Longchamp. I liked her last run behind Shareta a LOT
Winner looked good. surprised by jumping too. normally schooled really well. looking at the second now looks like RV is right and theyre not quite fit. This lopera is a nightmare. Looks between the faves but too tight between them. Could sit it out......could do....
