Ladbrokes Trophy 2018

Ortago Trail not entered in this so I've taken the chance he'll run in the Rehearsal at 14/1. The race could cut up and he'll love the ground. VW can always get one ready first time out too.
 
One of those things but absolutely right to put the horse's welfare first. At least we know that Willie thought he was better handicapped than the rest of his entries including Al Boum Photo on 159.
The only option before Christmas now is the John Durkan which is short of what is thought to be ideal for him.
 
American is now 16/1 best price and went off fav last year - but there is no price at all you can possibly think he's value?

What about 100/1? 1000/1? :devilish:

I hope you've got a nice price on Thomas Patrick - wouldn't want to be just with him at single figures myself.

Cant win it Kev. Simples.
 
Kieron Edgar, Richard Johnson, Geraghty, Aidan Coleman and Sean Bowen all used within the last few weeks for Fry.


Kieron Edgar? Rode Air Horse One in the Elite Hurdle.

I have no idea.

Not sure you'd have guessed his jockey that in 20 attempts, nice looking lass though and she's won a few, think she's been in some top yards practicing too. If ITV had their way they'll have her and Bryony battling out the finish.

Any other handicaps do you think? If he likes the mark it'd be a shame to leave a 'big'un' behind?

You're absolutely right, I wouldn't. 5lb off his mark though... :triumphant:

Then again, Fehily is probably worth that
 
Horrific news archie, can't help thinking he'll be a little less under the radar from here...

I'd have much preferred to have Touchy in the saddle but at least we are getting a run for our money.
 
Ms Parfois needed the run judging by the late drift. Coleman wasn't too hard on her.

She jumped really well and looked to be enjoying herself before tiring. Surely it'll be the Welsh National for her next.
