If we accept Envoi is very unlikely to show up here, unless there's proper soft ground, this race is so wide open.
Abacadabras sets the standard, but it's hardly an insurmountable standard. His best run is being beaten 1.5Ls by Envoi, loomed up but was beaten comfortably by Envoi. The Envoi Fan Club suggest he idles and is never all out so i guess that also raises a minor question mark on him. He's still got the best form in the book. If you are an RPR man, not many i know are, but i find them useful for part of my analysis, Andy Dufresne has recorded a better RPR than Aba in winning yesterday. Captain Guinness produced a very good 147 in defeat as well. The main English challenger currently is Fiddler and he holds the highest RPR in the field with his Tolworth win. He won easy but in second was Jeremy's Flame and like Abacadabras' win over xmas, the form looks less impressive due to the second.
Edwardstone holds Fiddler and is twice the price? Kingy's record isn't great at the festival but you can't rule him out because of that. He does do a fair bit wrong in his races, which would be a worry. Is he similar to Captain Guinness?
This looks a Summerville Boy year to me, wide open with no standout challenger.

No axe to grind but happy with my Captain Guinness bet @ 33/1
Captain Guinness 16lbs up on his debut run which is also bang on for the improvement HdB has been getting out if his top notchers second time out, A Plus Tard (14lb) Notebook (15lb) for example.
Notebook as a novice, went up another 12lb on his latest, third run of the season.
Roll on Captain Guinness going up another 12lb, next time out, thats plenty good enough to win a Grade 1. May be possible as he still has only ‘two lifetime starts’, not hurdling starts, he must be well ahead of track so early in his racing career.
On RPRs, yesterday’s Grade 2 is up there compared to the Grade 1 at the DRF, where winners of the last eight runnings have achieved:- 147, 150, 150, 152, 151, 149, 155, 145.
Klassical Dream being the last one at 145.
The Grade 2 rating of yesterday’s race compares will with all other previous runnings including Douvan’s win at 149 and Vautour 145.Last edited by Saxon Warrior; 13 January 2020, 10:01 AM."Journeys to Glory, breathing in his head".

I think this supreme will turn out to be a lot better than the Summerville boy year but I do actually know what you mean by that regarding the openness of it. there’s plenty of horses who will prove to be very good but at the moment I just can’t see past Abacadbras think he is a rock solid favourite and has the best form in the book. I could proved to be wrong but hopefully I’m not.

On the form lines, Chantry House is surely the UK one. In Ireland, on times, as well as wins, Abacadabras looks superior to AD to me, much superior. I’d rather CG as an improver, especially at the prices. But Abacadabras is the one I think wins it.Last edited by TCH29; 13 January 2020, 12:30 PM.
