    Welcome to the forum Samuel.

    In relation to the Coral Cup I hope the 'forgotten' horse is Diamond Cauchois.
    Many thanks for your report on Gordon Elliott intended runners.

      CC - RSA or 4 Miler ( Owner/Trainer debate)
      DW - RSA
      Minds Eye - Grand Annual?

      leaving Monotomic or Roaring Bull in Close
      Where does the conclusion that Mortal goes JLT come from? He is their best option for the National Hunt Chase. Not quick enough over shorter trips and dam was a stayer. On that basis going up in trip would seem obvious to anyone.

        Did you see his run against Delta Work? Their best runner for the 4 miler is Champagne Classic without a doubt.

          JLT:
          Eddie: Says that Mengli Khan runs here as does Mortal but he likes Defi Du Seuil. Also says that if Articulum turns up here on soft ground, it has a huge each way chance.

          Rachael: Rides Mortal here. she says he neds a quiet ride and has a great each way shout at a big price but likes Defi Du Seuil

          Noel: Likes Defi Du Seuil

          Joseph: Says that Mortal runs here with an each way shout but he likes Defi Du Seuil as well.

            Mortal travelled into the race well but I think Delta Work wasn't at his best and even without the mistake would have run away from him. Sometimes a horse can travel and then not find because they are essentially a stayer. In this case the pedigree backs that up. Whichever race he goes for he needs to find improvement and the easiest way to do that would be to step up in trip. He would be around 12/1 for a National Hunt Chase but any price for a JLT. Absolutely no logical reason for running in the JLT. Think O'Brien has grasped that idea but Gigginstown haven't.

            Champagne Classic ran very well first time but for me took a step back last time. I would definitely take Mortal over him.

              Thanks.

              Well done Gigginstown. It looks to me as if they just wanted to give Blackmore a ride even though the horse has no chance.

                I'll take some more 80/1 if you're offering...

                      I think he said he would love to ride Mortal.

                            She seemed a decent guest as her comments were open & positive when deserved. I've backed Star Max for example - nice to read her views and those of JO'B too.

                            • These preview nights seem to be contradicting themselves more than ever, especially with regards to the Gigginstown horses.
