Originally posted by SeanRock View PostYeah true that, Gordon keeps saying the heavy ground we've had in Ireland all winter hasn't suited him. He's plenty of options but not sure he has the class to really compete for a Ballymore. So it'll be this race or the Albert Bartlett. Gordon generally sends more experienced horses to the Coral.Originally posted by Folski View PostDP has also had a wind op.
I've actually got him backed in both NRNB so quite happy for him to line up in either... I suppose this race is technically more winnable, and if he's being considered for this, it means they think he's held by Cracking Smart? Then again, if he goes AB, you have to take that as a vote of confidence too?

Originally posted by SeanRock View PostJudging by the noises out of the stable Cracking Smart is Gigginstown's AB horse. Which again leads me to guess this will be the route for Dortmund Park.
What price have you got DP at? Still available 16/1 NRNB - that is too big.

He’s got a lot of entries and he’s had one of those famous wind operations. What is the rule with the Irish going over to England? Ah, you have to declare them. He's in the Martin Pipe, Albert Bartlett, it will be one or the other.

I reckon Dortmund Park is after getting a nice lenient mark. He was travelling best of all in the grade 1 staying novices hurdle at Leopardstown with about 3 furlongs to go and i think his previous race less than two weeks before Leopardstown (on very heavy ground) had bottomed him out somewhat and he didn't find as much for pressure as he had done in the past. A six week break from the track should have him freshened up and ready to roll.
I hadn't realised until I checked but I now have 4 in this race and still want to add one more

JJ Slevin will be riding Early Doors for Jospeh O'Brien because he can still claim in England.
Grade 1 horse in a handicap and Joseph says it is his (one of three) best chances of the week... Rhinsestone and Edwulf were the others all e/w chances.
Betfair are 33/1 still...
I know some people are already on

Reeks of hiding his true ability behind a 2m trip.
Iv no doubt he's the best horse in this race, all be it he's rated towards the top.. He's alot better than 142 though imo. JJ takes a small claim.Last edited by Scooby91; 5 March 2018, 06:57 AM.https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/
