    Avoiding Con Hill is hindsight. We had no idea just how good he was having won a couple of novice hurdles including a heavy ground Tolworth. From what I remember Dysart Dynamo was all about speed and would never have settled in a Baring Bingham so had no choice but to go Supreme. Sir Gerhard was...

    If Mullins wins the Tattersalls at the DRF then the winner will go Supreme unless something shines in the Sheila Bourke. The two times he has won the race since it's been 2m and gone Baring Bingham he has still had the Supreme favourite. Tullyhill was Fav after romping home in the Sheila Bourke...

    William Hill all races on 2nd Feb apparently.

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Probably run to form. DDM not as good as what people thought, or at least hasn't come on for the run. There was 22lb difference on RPR's in favour of The Passing Wife so in theory the handicapper shouldn't do much to his mark of 136.

    23lb lower hurdle mark than chase mark of 148. British handicapper would of had her racing off 145...

    There is also the Sheila Bourke a couple of weeks later that may throw up an option. Tullyhill won it easily before being Townend's ride in the Supreme.

    Probably won't be surprising but LadCor will going NRMB on all races at some point in February. Unsure of exact date atm.

    2026 Mares Hurdle

    My take on BDA is that you can ignore anything she did last year after that Xmas run. It was the type of performance that would take the rest of the season to recover from. Mares Novice then everyone has their opinion. The form of the race doesn't look so bad in hindsight and my take was that...

    January ‘26 Yankee

    Nothing confirmed, just that he will return for the Festival. His trainer said he settles better so may need further which would help his jumping. Switch from the New Course to the Old probably doesn't help either. Personally don't see him going Ultima just yet. Still only a 7yo and doesn't...

    January ‘26 Yankee

    Kargese for Arkle in the hope of a good run at the DRF, especially if KDB doesn't turn up. Brighterdaysahead for Champ Hurdle. Looks an open race now this year and she has the best piece of form on offer (excluding CH). Could well serve it up to Lossiemouth at the DRF and Elliott already has...

    2026 Juveniles

    33/1 for next week looks a cracking price. Race should cut up, doubtful will go Fred Winter as won't get the runs in, yard in much better form, soft/heavy ground forecast would be no issue. Worth a small bet e/w.

    2026 Stayers Hurdle

    I was an Impose Toi fan but that run was disappointing even accounting for the ground. Can make excuses for why but overall would have expected better. Saying that, Doddiethegreat has looked a consistent horse (RPR of 148 on all three prior runs this season) and had been 6 lengths then 9 3/4...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    Yes, I always think the "put them in the race they can win" comment should be taken/said in context for the exact reasons you said above. Favourite for the Champion Hurdle and Mares Hurdle. Mares Hurdle may be easier (Questionable) but Champion Hurdle is a more prestigious race and the betting...

    Mixed forecasts. Met Office say little chance of rain, whereas BBC seem to have rain more likely. Naas now inspecting 7.30am on Sunday for their meeting that day. Currently fit for racing but with what is forecast this weekend then it puts it in doubt.

    Skelton has said Grey Dawning won't run if the ground goes heavy tomorrow. Could get some good WTAF positions on others, but that kind of test so close to the Festival wouldn't appeal to me. Maybe he knows the stat on Gold Cup runners having run on heavy ground in the season...

    Fair enough. I agree he has yet to be fully tested at the highest level. You could argue his 2nd to Gaelic Warrior is his best chase form which on what he has done this year puts him in the mix anyway for a Gold Cup. I like that he has been brought along steadily this year. Last season he had a...

    So what has he done wrong to make you think the trip and ground together is an issue? Just wondering what I have missed as to me he is a horse who jumps and stays well. Got beaten by Gaelic Warrior in the Golden Miller who was ridden more patiently having been prominent throughout. Stage Star...
