I'm not sure Ruby will be having too many sleepless nights wondering if Quevega will finish in front of VLV - that said I heard a while back theat she was unlikely to get to Cheltenham....
Well done on Zaidpour lads - knew it was a cracking bet Completely forgot about Firefighter but see he won the first RV what do you think of Romulus D'artaix on chase debut today? (Warwick 3.25)
Soft spot me thinks - Zaidpour wants a strongly run race to use his turn of foot to better effect but why should Ruby make his own running. It was obvious there was going to be no pace- one playing for place money one in there for a prep then the main two. I am a big fan of both btw 7lbs is a lot of weight to concede to a class mare she wasn't good enough
Lads, look at her races. She's been beating Mourad by tracking very moderate pace then turning it into a sprint which she will always win. Mourad has no pace and needs a strong gallop which you don't get in Ireland, especially with 4/5/6 runners. Zaidpour has the gas for 2miles and kept on really nicely over a trip we were unsure about. He'll improve for a stronger gallop as well. I said all this last night and this morning.
Yep exactly Quel that slow pace would have been against Zaidpour as well but Ruby was never going to go a fast pace from the front.
Quel me as well. I am happy enough to be on at 25s E.W for World Hurdle as well- should get a place behind BB Odddy I like that one mate could be well handicapped off 115
Interesting race the 3.25. I can't see past Ockey De Neuililac to follow up. That young jockey seems to get on well with him and he whips off a handy 10lbs, he's due to take a hefty rise in the weights after this race, the trip shouldn't be a problem. 7/2 seems fair.
