Had a bit on Getabird today for the Albert Bartlett @25s after Mullins saying he sees it as a bit of a stayer on the ATR tour

I'm a big fan of Ravenhill Road and I think this could be his target. He set some decent RPR in his 2 bumper routs last season before missing Cheltenham with a slight set back. I'm focusing on this race for him based on breeeding and trainer comments. Additional to this, the Albert Bartlett has a history of throwing up winners from the smaller yards and slightly older horses.

Quote from Brian Ellison stable tour from 19/10/2016
"He's a machine and he won very well despite running green. He showed a lot of speed for horse that needs three miles but he had been working with all the best horse and it wasn't a surprise the way he won. He'll have another run before Christmas and then will go hurdling."

There is also a nice write up in Mark Howard's book stating he has been working with all his best horses (Definitly Red and Seamour).

I requested Bet365 to add to the market and felt 33/1 is more than generous as an early each way punt.

Ravenhill Road had entries last week but Brian Ellison is waiting for better ground. Two more entries this week so he may make the track. The trainer has nominated The French Furze Novice Hurdle (2m 6f) at Newcastle as a possible target.

He should be fine to win a maiden over that trip but I think they'll send over further next time out

Looked pretty slick the more he jumped. Will take a step up in class in his stride I think.

He'll make some chaser.

Did anyone get the 66/1 for the Neptune? I missed it by a nano second

Not me! I'm hoping they'll go for the Bartlett based on various comments I've made and the fact that trainers may want to avoid Samcro if he goes to the Neptune and the hype is shown on the track.
