Strange this last race. A Carroll had 5 entered and has withdrawn 3. At different times according to oddschecker. Wonder what that's all about. Easydoesit and My lord. Small bet for interest on easydoesit.

Well she'll have learnt from that Stick. Needs to improve her jumping but that could easily improve with better ground. Very difficult to race in the that ground as a hurdle debutante.

Cheers Bob. She was a little keen to go with the two principals early doors according to NF. The ground was unsuitable but Charlie wants her to get experience. She was very novice a couple of times (NF said he was nearly off once) but in the main jumped very nicely. They like her at the yard as she is very willing and Charlie is adamant that she will get better and better. Three miles over fences on good ground will be her game.
She was absolutely knackered today so I hope she eats up tonight and is none the worse for her exertions.
 
Just watched the race stick. She was very keen early on. Just the one hairy moment and she did finish very tired. Glad to see NF give her a gentle intro, especially in that ground. Looking forward to some good post race news (ie eating up and looking well and happy with herself).

1:30 Plumpton BRANDON THOMAS 10-1 Paddy Power. Form when splitting Highrate and Milano Magic last season reads extremely well in the context of this very average race. That earned him a handicap rating of 103 which he has been unable to cope with but following his latest effort he has now been dropped to a miserly 81. The handicapper dropped him 1lb shy of a stone for his last run and under conditions that have seen him to good effect in the past he has to be given a superb chance and is a tasty each way punt tomorrow.

Nice one stick.

I always take on horses stepping up in grade on a three timer so I've had a bet on Virginia Ash to replicate last years win off a 2lb higher mark. Missed the bigger prices Ron mentioned earlier though so 5/1 e/w will have to do.

Well done Bob. That one just saved me from losing all my stake; or did me out of a nice profit, depending on how philosophical I'm feeling <laugh>
 
Oddy....

Sportinglife put this up earlier. If that is the tissue price(9/1) i will certainly be all over that!

Whillans reported: "Meadowcroft Boy has been in grand form since his win at Carlisle. I don't know what the opposition was like, but he won it well enough.

"He jumped well and is very professional. He is like that at home as he works well, but doesn't sparkle. He just does his work and that's it.

"We were thinking of going to Newcastle on Wednesday, but then we thought we would give him a go at a decent race and see how good he is.

"After Saturday, we will know whether we go handicapping or for the better races in the spring, but his bumper form suggests he is pretty good.

"He seems versatile but I would say good to soft or soft ground is fine for him. If it was heavy, I think that would catch him out."

Sky Bet Supreme Trial, sponsors prices: 2/1 Un Temps Pour Tout, 11/4 Valseur Lido, 13/2 Stand To Reason, 8/1 Zamdy Man, 9/1 Sizing Tennessee, Meadowcroft Boy, 11/1 Sure Reef, 14/1 Sgt Reckless, 25/1 Its High Time, Abracadabra, 33/1 Big Casino, 50/1 Maybe I Wont, 150/1 River Clare

<cheers> mate. Just watched a replay of his Carlisle victory and you have to laugh. If that had been a Mullins horse at Killarney he'd be 7/1 fav for the supreme <laugh>

I can't even find a quote for Meadowcroft Boy for the Supreme <yikes> that may change after Saturday
 
Your right i have looked about the last 2 weeks and nothing has come up. I presume the bookies just find it impossible to relate the form in any way what so ever. He will end up opening about 12/1 after Saturday <yikes>

You can get 9/1 tonight with Sky Bet and 1/5 odds for 3 places. Now the field will cut up and that will look superb value given that quote above
 
Thanks Stick for the winner. Appreciated. Keep it up.

All the best with your horse.

Well done all other winners; Bob, Ron; Badger and anyone else I may have forgotten.

Good work.
