    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Fact to File…. he’s been a very consistent horse up until his race at Punch over 2m and the King George I forgave his performance over 2m, but…. he ran so below that day that I don’t think the trip was the first that beat him that day. Then he managed to get last GW on the JD, but was headed...

    2026 Gold Cup

    I have a terrible record in the gold cup Only backed A Plus Tard and GDC (second time) as shirt odds, in 12-13 years of doing this This year, could make an argument for loads of them I’m kind of hoping of a mud fest, and backing something like Stella Story at 150’s on the machine lol

    Mainly because there’s nothing standing out atm in the market and folks see it’s trained by Henderson and wearing silks some will recognise

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Oh yeah, I’ll be back on the laptop tonight as this has really opened up an opportunity to find the winner, which will likely be a big price Average bunch I feel, but it’s keeping my interest I think looking at RPR’s or form line won’t find this years winner, at the moment anyway. And could...

    I’ve fancied Romeo for the BANC since his first run over fences However, and it’s the same with most of GE’s, I’m concerned he’s already peaked him this season and maybe asking a bit too much aswell as too much messing around with trip.

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    had my first deep dive into the novice hurdle division - and it looks average at best Main focus was in the supreme Bumper form doesn’t look strong. Starting with El Carios, I still can bring myself to think Gary Moore and our friend Max had the supreme fav along - and he’s been beaten by a...

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Yeah agreed with approve, the manner those four finished was more of a sharp 2 mile 5f and you’d have to be a special horse to be able to finish that well over those conditions to then win a gold cup Jukebox, or even Jango would have to be one hell of a horse to be able to do both - not many...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    They went much slower in this years renewal - that’s not an assumption, it’s a fact “… but you can’t compare races from different years” … you can, and it’s obvious last years renewals was far quicker that what BDA achieved this year, she’s not the same horse. I think (and this is an...

    2026 Stayers Hurdle

    He should be in the Champ Hurdle, and then go onto the Aintree Hurdle He’s running style favours a short distance. But maybe he’s another middle distance specialist and when going down or up in trip he pumps into horses that are just better or / and more suited that trip He’s looked...

    I do like the horse, but look too big and lanky going around a sharp 3 miler

    Re: Kaid D'authie Doubt he'll be winning a BANC, feels more of irish or grand national staying type

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    Give him a chance over 2m, with the way he jumps and travels, I'd look to step down in trip rather than go up
