I actually think it's the trip at that track he is not suited by. Just doesn't get 3m2f with a really stiff finish. If he were mine I would be tempted to give him a crack at the Ryanair.
Ricci wants his horses aimed at Cheltenham. Vautour will not be fit today. Wouldn't surprise me if he loses.
Don't think he has the speed for a Ryanair stick. Here's what I'd do with him: Lancashire Chase King George Irish Hennessey Aintree Bowl Punchy Gold Cup
Good morning boys and girls!! I would like Cue Card to win the Betfair but can't bring myself to back him. I would also love O'Faolains Boy return with a good run but again, I can't pull the trigger!! Instead, I've decided to waste a few quid on a Lucky 15 so it's probably best to give these a miss... 12:40 Hay - EMPERORS CHOICE 9/2 1:15 Hay - HUNTERS HOOF 11/2 2:25 Hay - YALA ENKI 7/1 3:15 Asc - TURN OVER SIVOLA 11/1 Good luck all and hope they all return safe and sound.
Monksland going chasing- really hope he jumps well as he looks made for the game and has done ever since winning in graded company over novice hurdles. They've looked at this for a long time and he has schooled well apparently. Just hope they can keep him fit this season with their new routine of giving him lots of swimming.
Hay 3.15 bold sir Brian Lightly raced for a nine year old, form hit and miss at times. Trainer/jockey in form ,33/1 ew
Tea For Two to gallop them into submission in the fixed brush. Red Hanrahan to get recompense in the first at Ascot. Theatrical Star to be much better with headgear and should be primed in the lucky last at Haydock
Sensible oddly but no Cheltenham race and you know the NH game, it's all about those four days in March!
I'm on Our Kaempher. The pace of his last race was farsical and they think he's a serious horse. Crazy penguin and long lunch. Yard form definitely a concern tho Nass
Unfortunately working till 5 today so having a look through the cards to keep myself entertained. Haydock 12.10 - Beau Lake - the 2nd in his last race has won since off 115 and looks to have a good chance with solid form on soft/heavy. 12.40 - Sybarite - Has won over this extended trip before and last time he ran off 125 he won also, good chance. 1.15 - Rock The Kasbah - Form of his 2nd to Court Minstrel looks strong and he is open to improvement. 1.50 - Top Notch - Iv never warmed to Irving and Melodic isnt the same horse as 2 years ago - only a 4yo and will relish the ground. 2.25 - Tea for Two - Was in fine form this time last year and back to a workable mark is rightly favourite for this. 3.00 - Cue Card - Looks to have that spark back, if he is allowed to lead he should go close - will know within first 5 fences how his chance looks. 3.35 - Straidnahanna - Lottery of a race Ascot 12.20 - Red Hanrahan 12.55 - Relentless Dreamer - Form looks solid with Upswing running a good race last weekend. 1.30 - Promanco 2.05 - Third Intention EW - Favourite looks solid, Ptit Zig having to give weight to the field will be his undoing. TI keeps running with great credit but never quite gets there. 2.40 - Brother Tedd - Very taking with how easily he brushed Silviniaco aside - obviously receiving weight. He is improving with every run and receives 8lbs from RoR today. 3.15 - ***o 3.50 - Crazy Penguin - Was well backed to win on debut but only managed 3rd. Both horses in front have won since with the winner picking up a listed prize nicely last weekend.
