    2026 Jack Richards Novice Limited Handicap Chase

    Mid 150s I reckon. Be good if he came here as would be the type to be overbet!

    2026 Jack Richards Novice Limited Handicap Chase

    What rating do you have him at Lobos? I'm not disputing his chances but not sure he has all that much in hand. Through Miami Magic, he's a similar chance to Regents Stroll (who was arguably not trying too hard that day). Tailing off at the last two festivals has me worried if he can't get his...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    I'd want to see him again to harden him up for the big day and knock the freshness out of him. Surely the international on trials day should be the plan

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Screamed Bartlett to me yesterday. It was a trial for it after all. Guess we'll find out more next time but I thought he showed a lot of stamina

    Looks like a great Yankee at this stage - well done!!

    Thanks eggs! I was actually thinking he may step up to the Ryanair this year, similar to envoi, but hadn't heard or seen anything of his wellbeing.

    October ‘25 Yankee

    I think Majborough is a good shout. With fact to file (Ryanair) and Inothewayurthinkin (GC), the champion chase looks an obvious target for Maj this far out. Gives Mark Walsh a full book of rides in the big chases for JP. I still prefer Marine Nationale but could easily see Maj winning the G1 at...

    Cheltenham 2026 Prices

    Unless he's planning to run him in a handicap (wouldn't that be great!) then he may be struggling with a 2m4 prep. I can't think of any off the top of my head in the UK

    Alternatively, at the races has an odds checker style grid for daily races and antepost. It's become my go to

    Who is the best judge of a tipster?

    Absolutely buzzing for this MOM! I hope the fish reappears with a suitable pseudonym in time to take part

    May ‘25 Yankee

    Good summary! Kopek Des Bordes and Marine Nationale are the standouts to me. I couldn't (shouldn't) touch a novice hurdler with a bargepole this far out. I like to follow the 5 year old hurdlers with grade 1 form in the Arkle as 5 of the last 8 winners ticked the box. I just think they're open...

    Preview Evenings - links, details and write ups

    I've had a quick scan through the thread and can't see anything for this year's preview evenings so thought I'd start one off with a shameless plug. My cricket club is hosting a preview evening in Alcester on Wednesday 6th March. The panel is Dan and Harry Skelton, Paul Nicholls and Olly Murphy...
