    I'm not completely obsessed with this horse , but after yesterday's win at Fairyhouse , I'll be having a punt on Bellshill .

        I'm wondering whether American is the next 'Just So', and that there isn't a race in the calendar long enough for him...

          Looks like American will go to Kelso the weekend after the fez

          Bellshill confirmed here which is the eye catcher for me

            Is Bellshill a definite to come here rather than Aintree?

              I'm looking more at the big handicaps with him. Coming back here to Fairyhouse might be the thing to do on a track that he's shown that he's really at home on.

                He's got an 8lb penalty according to HRI.

                  Killaro Boy if he gets in. Number 61 on the list.

                    Have already backed Folsom Blue for this a few times at 12-1

                    After the mishaps at the Welsh Grand National where it was postponed and then he was lame for the rescheduled race, this has been the target.

                      Will be on Acapella Bourgeois in this.

                      3 races this season were over 3m, then 2m4f and finally 2m1f. Horse was backed as if defeat was out of the question each time and of course he didn't win one of those races. Personally I couldn't believe his price in the 2m1f race and laid him to place. Interesting that Mullins tried him around Fairyhouse on his last start. Total Recall has gone up 26lb for the move to Willie's, I find it hard to believe A.B. is a worse horse for the move.

                      20/1 taken.

                        Does anyone one else think that Bellshill will be unlikely to run?. He 's got a penalty to carry. I think he might go to Aintree instead because of this.

                          Sutton Manor for me - think he’s well handicapped

                              Hope you're right Bigfish, I've backed him for Aintree (nrnb) where I think he carries 10st 9lb, great racing weight if that's correct, is it a 9lb penalty if he runs in Ireland?
