Main FJ festival yankee - owner charlie

[Vautour]

These main yankee's are proving tough! I am going through the opinions on each individual thread to try and conclude the most popular selection, whilst factoring in the change in weather. (Theinval is a prime example of a very popular horse that wants good ground but likely won't get it so won't select). I must say I really don't envy Robith's task of doing the Tuesday Yankee!

MAIN

The first two fairly unanimous horses for the main yankee are:

CONFIRMED: Cause of Causes in the XC
CONFIRMED: Laurina in the Mares Novice

Others on the shortlist are Burning Ambition (Foxhunters), Mall Dini (Kim Muir), Petit Mouchoir (Arkle).

EW

The first three I am thinking in the EW acca are:

TBC: Le Breuil in the Coral Cup (14/1)
TBC: Louis Van Pouch in the Pertemps (9/1)
TBC: No Comment in the NHC (8/1)

The above have received lots of support so barring any strong objections they will be included.

Keep the opinions coming people!!

Got to be Burning Ambition. Form with Gilgamboa is excellent, unexposed and has the Coddfather on board. Gary O’Brien had a good word for him last night too.

Not here anymore despite being his biggest supporter prior to his injury.

Still think he's got it in him to run a big race but I do fear Footpad & SC now, more than I ever had. Footpad is more than covered though, but SC would not be a welcome winner here, though it would be huge for you and a couple of others of at huge prices.

Each Way Yankee TBC shortly. These 3 have been heavily supported:

Le Breuil in the Coral Cup (14/1)
Louis Van Pouch in the Pertemps (9/1)
No Comment in the NHC (8/1)

The 4th selection is proving a bit of a puzzle as there's a fairly even spread of opinions. The Storyteller is quite popular for the Plate and he was Gordons NAP last year before getting injured. 10/1 is still a decent price. L'Ami Serge is also interesting. I know he divides opinions but also on the shortlist. Any other recommendations?

If you pick L'ami Serge I'll have The Storyteller anyway now

I agree. I'd have The Storyteller every day of the week over LS but he has his supporters and I am trying to be diplomatic!

 

[ryanh97]

If it helps at all i'd go with the Storyteller myself

As my E/Way NAP of the festival is Romain De Senam it be would negative of me to support The Storyteller as a selection, however logically it is the correct thing to so as 'cover' for RDS, do The Storyteller gets my vote too.
