    2026 Gold Cup

    The weather in Ireland is just as shit right now as it was in the past few months 😂 They should probably wait until the sun comes out if they're planning on using that excuse. Who knows really, maybe they've been messing around for some reason, or maybe he was actually in bad form and they've...

    2026 Gold Cup

    I've backed him at 16s and 12s nrnb as couldn't see him going off anywhere near that if lining up, but there's a lot of guess work behind the price shortening imo. Im guessing its people seeing fact to file shortening for the ryanair, assuming that must mean he goes there, and assuming if he...

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    If i remember right this response was when he was specifically asked about the supreme. There was another quote around the same time where he was saying something like "looking at him you'd think turners", but he did sound like he'd have no bother running him in either. But having said all...

    2026 Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle

    Tbh even just that is better than anything 90% of the tipsters out there have ever done 😂 I dont follow his tips blindly at all, but like you say he has come up with a few good ones at big prices so if I hear him make a particularly good case for one at this time of year I always follow in. Mrs...

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Not to keep going on about it, but one last post in case theres any lingering doubt 🤣 From my end, and most people's end I assume (cant speak for everyone obviously 🤣) none of the posts questioning who exactly these jp people are and whether they know what theyre talking about are in any way...

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    If this is aimed at me, I stated very clearly twice yesterday on this topic that there was absolutely no criticism of you at all for passing on what you've heard 👍 The whole point is whether these people of jp's truly know what theyre talking about (or are being intentionally misleading) and...

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    I just cant fully trust any of these market moves because despite the odds shortening, it just doesnt resemble people who are truly in the know betting on something they know is happening. We saw what truly "in the know" market moves look like the other morning when constitution hill starting...

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Would just appear as conflicting ways of thinking is all. Going away from turners with what would be the fave in an easier looking race, to run in what looks the harder race where he wouldn't be fave. But then going for the tap in with fact to file in the Ryanair instead of the holy grail of...

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Maybe ominous for those holding out hope for fact to file going for the ryanair too if true. Going for the harder but more prestigious race instead of the easier looking one.....

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Yeah I can't remember exactly what each person was saying or anything, so like I said no criticism of you 👍 But definitely was seeing people who have links saying they were told of a likely target, and this target was then being changed every couple days. So I just don't know if the people...

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    I seen stuff from about 5 or 6 different people in the lead up to last years festival, I think including you, saying they heard a different target what seemed like every couple of days. It's not a criticism in any way, I can't even remember exactly what was said, or whether you were one of the...

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Can I ask, as I don't know any of jp's people personally, but I know some on here do, or know people who know people etc.... Which of jp's people was it that last year was saying kopeck de me was going for the pipe, then county, then coral, then county, then pipe again, all in the space of...

    2026 Martin Pipe Conditionals Handicap Hurdle

    It was just a rough number. 15lb might be a bit high on official figures. Wodhooh went up 11lb for winning last year, and we've fairly regularly seen horses go up around that much for winning. And there can always be something like a saint roi in there who went up 14lb not fully extended in the...

    2026 Martin Pipe Conditionals Handicap Hurdle

    I think the logic is realistically he needs to have something in hand off his mark to win the pipe, as its very rare that your coming up against exposed sorts in that race. The recent winners of the bartlett have been rated in and around what the passing wife is rated right now going into the...

    2026 Ultima Handicap

    It'll depend on fact to file being supplemented. So hes definitely going for either ultima or ryanair 😂

    2026 Ultima Handicap

    Oh yeah I'd definitely want nrnb, wouldn't surprise me if he was supplemented to the ryanair either. I'd take the bigger antepost prices with a view to at least partially laying off if his price continues to tumble.

    2026 Ultima Handicap

    I haven't been following updates on iroko much but if the goal is still very much the national, then i doubt he'd be going for the gold cup too. Doesn't seem to be done too much nowadays to run in both.

    2026 Ultima Handicap

    And johnnywho in there too? His only festival entry. I'd imagine one of them will go somewhere else just for balance but just guessing.

    2026 Champion Bumper

    Heaviest of late has been 10-2. Has time to bulk up to 11 before the day though and then cut back down before the big flat rides. 11-7 might be tough to get to in two weeks without just carrying a gut 😂
