2015 Festival Trophy Chase (3m handicap)

CD may well be headed that way LR. And in agreement with others thank you for your continued efforts OV.

You could argue Easter day of his current mark still has a good shout but he's becomming expensive to follow and not all that reliable looking at today's exploits.

Going back to Le Reve, a good case could be made for Theatrical Star on the back of today's form as another who should appreciate better ground and has been running well

Have to wait for the report on Easter Day, the jockey was looking down for a while then pulled him up today, may be a no-show at the fez
 
Definitely but assuming he's fine, Nicholls is bound to try and gain some compensation with another big prize

Ticks a lot of the stats boxes (apart from the trainer)
 
He's going to win something sizeable sooner rather than later. He just seems a bit of a tricky ride as well. I've got nothing against Nick Schofield but I'd like to see STD give him a spin in one of these big handicaps
 
If As De Ferbert wins Mullins could go through the card. Don't know much about him ir whether an intended runner ?
 
I just realised who the sponser if for this race. I have a couple of friends that serve him down the road and tell me how a nice and down to earth he is. If I am correct he owns Grumeti and Walkon.

Ned Stark is the latest addition to the list of shame. Alan King doesn’t even try to disguise how much he likes this horse. At 10/1, he’s twice the price of Bensalem, who won the same race – now backed by Ultima Solutions, sponsors of his stable - for King four years ago, and Ned Stark draws a pretty favourable comparison. There you go – a tip. Another Cheltenham tip. Just what you needed, right?

Dan Barber - Timeform

DB: View on Pendra depends on target. Most suitable race 3miler on first day. Theatre Guide my dark horse for that one.

I know we fancy Ned Stark and the day 1 yankee pick, but did anyone backed Pendra yesterday at 12's when I put him up?

If he wins or comes close I will pm where it came from.;) Nothing in life is a guarantee other than you will die one day.
