Be interesting if with the King George scratchings today, that Gordon looks at letting Found a Fifty have a crack at three miles.
It looks open to me.

I was looking at the market, wondering the same thing, instead I ended up backing Corbetts Cross before Unibet cut him further.

I'm not sure Found A Fifty would win a King George, but I think it would be great for them to try and find out. It's a race that has done well for potential Ryanair runners too, so they may roll the dice.

I think Ginnys Destiny is massively overpriced for the KG and another case of bookmakers over reacting to one poor run

IMO he has as much chance as Grey Dawning who is a third of the price

NIcholls said after the PP that he regretted not getting a run into him beforehand and that he probably wants 3m nowadays

I thought they mentioned that he needed to go left handed to be seen to best effect?

Barry Connell & Michael O'Sullivan have parted ways with immediate effect.

Sean Flanagan will ride for Barry now - presumably on Marine next time out as schooled him at Punchestown on Sunday.

That's interesting. Wonder if he has ended up at Willie's? It was only a matter of time before he went there as no.2 and has been getting a fair few rides for him over the last year or so.

Flanagan is no bad jockey though.

I'd say there's plenty above him in the pecking order at Closutton. No idea what Mikey's plan is but I'd say he'll be picking up rides wherever he can.

David Jennings put him up on Upping the Ante so he's had the kiss of death...
 
Can anyone confirm that if Sine Nomine runs in the 2 25 Market Rasen listed chase that would rule him out of defending the Hunter Chase in March ?

According to Matt Chapman, Barry ordered O'Sullivan to get off his last ride at Cork to head back to the yard and do some schooling and Michael quite rightly refused and said he would head straight over after the race. Bit ridiculous from Connell but he has form for the ridiculous. Probably the best thing that could happen to Michael O'Sullivan in the long run, he will flourish now.

Not sure where is best for Mares Chase so putting here - I'd suggest cashing out any Jade De Grugy slips
