Festival Plate 2019

[Kevloaf]

I really like Bouvrieul for this. C&D form. Rejuvenated under Haslam. JP McManus. Haslam has said this is his target.

SkyBet have priced him all wrong at 33s, albeit they did limit the stake.

Yeah me too.

Someone definitely mentioned him somewhere else on the forum not that long ago, so you're not alone.

Not sure where, I'll try and find it.

Liked the look of garde fort for this, digging into his form I couldn’t ignore tommy silver. Both travelling well last time until they came to grief

River Wylde will be aimed for the Brown Advisory & Merribelle Stable Plate at the Cheltenham Festival after working well this morning at @kemptonparkrace. He is currently 25/1 (best price) with @bet365

Nice one boopa. Have added him... been something of an unlucky horse but he's definitely got a big one in him!

...I’ve had a stab at Eamon an Cnoic for this.

I’ve backed Benatar for this.

His loss to Cyrname doesn’t look as worrying now.

I also would imagine he’ll be up with the pace and on the Thursday, that has always been the place to be. I’d assume the Thursday will be a little softer under foot as well after they switch courses.

Had a good look at him as seemingly fancied every start since his Jlt run , must have a decent pot in Him but as you say the softer the better , Ceepage not even entered scuppered my early thoughts . Weights later to side with something

[ComplyOrDie]

Had Benatar on the radar for sometime. Unsure where he will go, may well depend on the ground.

[jonthehammer]

Liking the weights for both Bouvreuil and Happy Diva so added both.

[Can't Catch Me]

Is Bouvreuil definitely going for this? Hills keep hanging the 40/1 out and I keep taking a bit, but obviously isnt NRNB.

[Kevloaf]

Is Happy Diva running this weekend?

That wouldn't be good ...

It sounds like Newbury rather than Cheltenham-

"She's in good form and we know she likes Newbury. I'm not saying this is an easier option than the race at Cheltenham (Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate), but it looked sensible to let her run."

Gutted, thought she had a real chance in this after only going up a total of 2lbs since her second to Aso over C&D
