That looks a much more talented bunch that those that missed the Festival last year. There are five or six horses amongst them that I like a lot.

I thought while it's still relatively fresh in our heads, I'd bump this thread so we can start listing the horses we may want to consider for next season...

[Spectre]

That really is terrible news. Thoughts with the family, who must be distraught.

Thanks Isitmarchyet. I've scoured everywhere, but the quote was before the Festival which is why I couldn't find it. I'll scratch him off my list....

[Spectre]

When and where was this Lobos? I can't find anything out there....

[Spectre]

Firstly it would be a rarity for a 10 year old to win this. One horse since 1930 has won this aged older than 9,and that was back in 1986. Therefore the...

I think previously trainers have been used to using the Arkle and RSA as the stepping stone into open company.

Elliott using the Marsh for...

[Spectre]

If he shows the same speed over fences that he did over hurdles I'd be very surprised if they pushed him up in trip in his novice season. Equally I can't...

Even then Hobbs has said it's the Stayers next season, so 8/1 best price without any race is low risk for anyone that has a Betfred account....

My four would be these:

Run Wild Fred - NHC
My Drogo - Marsh
Energumene - Ryanair
Thyme Hill - Stayers

BMG finished third in a very good Ballymore. He’s built for fences, is likely to still fill out and strengthen up, and will improve for stepping...

It generally pays to ignore Aintree form for next years Festival.

I’m not going to say Bravemansgame will win the RSA, but if both...

Concertista would finish third of three in my opinion. She wants two and half and possibly more. It had crossed my mind that she may be a Stayers Hurdle...

[Spectre]

You'd think they have to be tempted to have a crack at the Stayers. There's nothing particularly obvious from this seasons crop of novices, and in retrospect...

I think it's highly unlikely Allaho goes to the Champion Chase. Energumene is more likely of the two, and I doubt he'd go there now either.

They can Istabraq. It's not often they'll get given a mark, but it does happen ocasionally if the handicapper feels he as sufficient handle on a horse...

[Spectre]

I'd be surprised if he didn't keep Ferny Hollow over hurdles Craig.

He has no need to send both him and Appreciate It to the Arkle, and he...

[Spectre]

The answer to the first question is the handicapper will usually give a mark if the fall was over the last two fences. They are allowed to defer if they...

[Spectre]

Yes a good solid choice that’ll stand the test of time MoM.

Put The Kettle On won in the same way she's won all her races at Cheltenham. The other jockeys just weren't wise to it and let Coleman get away with it....
