    2026 Champion Hurdle

    Still on the Anzadam train? tbh, I need to take another look at this race - maybe before the DRF Not been keen on Anzadam to date but I want to be backing a 2 miler, not a middle distance horse like Lossiemouth, TNL

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    fingers crossed dont really care whether we'll see Sir Gino on a race track again, just hope he's ok and can find a field somewhere - i thought he was going to be put down at the track all that after nearly losing his life last season - its just not meant to me for this amazing horse

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    I've gone from "looking forward to seeing Sir Gino, and his future back over fences next season, and the DRF coming up".... and then poor old Sir Gino :-( this game has a way of really kicking biting you in the arse and heart doesnt look good at all :-(

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Grey Dawning aint winning no Gold Cup, he's just finished behind a 11 year old L'homme Presse!!! May keep an eye on NRNB market for Ryanair, or take a nibble at silly exchange price for Ryanair - just in case

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Gray Dawning reminds me of Protektorat, you need to let him run at pace and not hold him up 33/1 for Ryanair looks big... but Dan saying that Gold Cup is still 100% his target! Huh!...

    So at worse, softer side of soft… If we see the likes of Grey Dawning and Sir Gino withdrawn, the game’s gone I was going to buy a ticket earlier on in the week, glad I didn’t

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    I don’t like them running Grey in this in their are preparing him for a run at the festival I don’t think he will stay. Especially as the ground could be soft. If they are after prize money, then yeah, got for it - but I’m not a fan of this race, it always leaves a mark and horses struggle to...

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    I’ll be watch the weather, if it comes up proper soft (which it looks like) then I really fancy Stella Story here. There’s enough pace in the race to get them going too early and allowing this four stayer to eat them up - rain rain and rain please

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    I would have been more taking by Old Park if he had show a bit more in him bumper - he looked pretty damn average in then, so I marked his Kempton performance down and thought his Cheltenham win looked good because he was beating trees. Just couldn’t believe he would improve so much from his...

    After timing - just I have Slade Steel in my tracker since last year for a handicap Saw his price today and jus ignored the race, didnt watch it and only come to know the results from the comments above Soft ground, handicap (think he can still run in the novice right), over mid trip, I'd be...

    yeah, agreed with that, and he has to do it all himself on a track that may not be his optimum - seriously performance that!

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Was pushed out to 20/1, I've backed her again Thats probably the strongest race any of those novice mares will have come march, I say she's run up to mid 130's there. Whilst Bambino has gone very little over hurdles so far If 20/1 is still about come NRNB, or even 12/1, I'd be backing La Conq again

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    I like La Canq there - stepped up into a tough race there against experience horses Done more than most of the novice mares so far Not sure why the bookies have pushed her out... will go back in!

    Its taken me a while to get on board with Old Park Star... that was impressive Over to see what the DRF brings

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Money has come in all day for La Conquiere, up against some useful types here today, and if she was to win, I think her progression and form should make her 3/1ish for the novice mares backed at 12/1 for march with cash out, miss out on the 28/1, 20/1 on WTAF :-(
