    2027 The Prices on Offer

    I went looking to see if there is a correlation between supreme winning distances and Arkle performance but actually, there has been 1 horse (Shishkin) do the double in the last 9 years and only 3 since the foot and mouth cancellation year (Douvan and Altior). The Gold Cup / King George goes a...

    2027 The Prices on Offer

    Does the Supreme finishing in a heap not slightly put anyone off? It's rare to have 3 top quality horses in the one novice race so the tight finish could mean it's an average renewal, and Sober Glory has been beat at Aintree. Where as the Turners was won a bit more decisively and produced two...

    Have played this as well after someone here quoted Casey saying that's where he will go. Always danger but good value, and an e/w shout in a notoriously small field

    Think we will pull the trigger pre Punchestown Zeus Power - Stayers I've been pretty open that he is one I fancy a lot, stayed on like a train in the Turners and won the 3m race at Aintree. Jockey suggested he would be a stayers horse gives some credence to him going here too. Johnnys Jury -...

    I'm a big fan of Casey so this is very noteworthy given his performances and price

    That was my thought actually! If she went chasing I'd be backing for the NHC

    I just like to have something on the opening day to get excited about! My initial thoughts were Zeus/Jonnys Jury/White Noise. However if WN runs tomorrow - and there's some decent arguments against 1 I'm open to dropping her. I would think she has improvement still to come though, she will...

    Looking for one more preferably the Tuesday, doesn't need to be fancy odds as the horses discussed so far are more than enough for decent e/w returns. Just confidence in the target which does rule out some of the Supreme e.g MDP has had conflicting reports/comments. OPS Arkle?

    The two horses I was most taken with were Zeus Power for the Stayers and Jonnys Jury for the BANC, he looks a future gold cup winner to me

    The replay has made that significantly more impressive than I thought first time round. Didn't realise he had slipped so far back

    Haiti Couleurs out to 25/1 is a surprise and has drawn me in Though I'm struggling not to go big on Gerri at 33/1, been holding off as I've got him at 100/1, but small stakes truth be told

    Zeus Power is very impressive there but I was also drawn to Jonnys Jury as well! Both look proper stayers and be interesting if Zeus stays over hurdles for a year only being a 5 year old
