139.................

139.................

That's his Irish mark no?

[Quevega]

The less obsessed will latch onto this - especially if he's given the same mark and no extra 1lb to 140. Even then he'll prove popular.
He'll likely be single figures in just over a weeks time when the weights are out.

139 was given for his Ascot entry last week i think

[Quevega]

….I think the handicap entries window closes at noon tomorrow, any idea when folk start to know what they are? Presume markets will be suspended at some point.

Eclair D'Ainay given a new hurdles rating, 131.
Not seen over hurdles since 2020, presumably Skelton gave this one an entry for something last week ?
131 might struggle to get in anything....

Anyone think Paddy are very stingy/tight with their prices? Have a handful of horses tempted to go in on the last few days, but they are the shortest of the lot!

It's trying to weigh up now which ones will or wont get smashed in up to the day. I know surely most will be bigger in the morning, but I know over recent years handicaps do tend to shorten a couple who get smashed right in, would kick myself if that happens now and don't back the ones I like.

Surely paddy won't shorten any further after entries today? Could they?

I do have a few other accounts, but not having 365 is annoying me, so those of you who do, be grateful!

….that’s it then, the handicap entries window is now closed. I guess we’ll soon find out who is and who isn’t entered.
