Looks to be moving all wrong on last two starts to me, it thats been not off with an eye on a handicap then I'll give the game up.On season debut, he had a 8.6 jump score with Race IQ and they have him gaining 0.85l jumping. His top speed however was 30.79mph, 2nd worst in the race.
Next run he has a 9.2 jump score and gained 3.65 lengths. His top speed was 31.72 mph, with only Yeah Man (a 3 miler just getting his 5th hurdle run in for the Pertemps) worse.
In those races, top speeds were 33.5 and 33.6mph.
Last year he had top speeds much better than that (ground better than he’s faced this season but he showed good speed last year and hasn’t turned slow over a year).
He’s a good jumper, will have a top apprentice on and most importantly, will actually be trying for the first time in a year.
I’ve not gone through this race in too much depth yet (I’ll wait for confirmations tomorrow) but he’s a better horse than 137. I think I’d prefer Henry’s other one than Air of Entitlement.
Saint le fort and Karl des tourelles same owners, so I'd imagine one of them will go elsewhere.I’d say Willie will have to pull at least 1 of his to get Roc Dino in. Hard to find a NR.
He'll be fine surely.I’d say Willie will have to pull at least 1 of his to get Roc Dino in. Hard to find a NR.
Think stats and figures go out the windowHe'll be fine surely.
How many came out at the Dec stage last year ?
How about....Think stats and figures go out the window
The hcap races shape up are so so different this year
I need 13 to come out for Helnwein to get in County.......Think stats and figures go out the window

Are Wendrock and Zanndabad in??
Yerhaa. Finally a bit of luckYea.
These handicaps look harder to get in than expected this year
Got to be happening, if not directly then most certainly through intermediaries or/and secretaries/race plannersI often wonder how much trainers chat to each other to work out who's pulling out who etc.

He'd better not….presume some have double entries, Zillow is still in County and looks more likely to go there.
