2026 BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (previously Coral Cup)

In general I think 155 is high, looks a reluctance to drop him from the Turners form.

On a line through Colnel Mustard beating him LTO he would be 151, beaten 30+ lengths on debut this season, and was likely going to be beat 20+ lengths at Punchestown last year.
 
Yeah I hadn't even looked at the yellow clay specifically, assumed from the post that he'd been treated harshly.

Was just speaking generally about elliotts entries, most of them are treated harshly imo.

He was rated 155 in Ireland
Not sure what you were expecting
 
Stick Carl Millar on him
Get Michael Kenneally on him. He won the the big Handicap hurdle on Gringo D'Aubrelle in Navan for the Moran's and Gordon back in November

He's a better jockey than Carl Millar and has the same 5lb claim.

….Air of Entitlement given 139, 31st on the list (max 24), previous festival winner but done little since, hits plenty of trends. Not sure of target but 40-1 NRNB.
Ew double with sixandahalf in the county?

Think Gordon will be using his conditionals before him
 
Skelton namechecks Kateira for this at 40s as his 'dark horse' for the festival.

Probably be 10/1 by tomorrow morning knowing the bookies

Oh wow. Where’s that news? I’d only bet her last night 33/1 NRNB

….noticed her getting backed earlier.

Given the connections, maybe Naiad selection too :unsure:

Is Paul doing a Yankee this year??
 
Could have sworn I’d heard or read the trainer saying more than once Kateira was much better on flat tracks? Have I confused her with something else . Need to go check her record
 
…no idea, don’t think he’s ever gone that route before.
AHH ok.....it was just that we've had 6 Naiad suggestions already.....
