    2026 Champion Hurdle

    Whilst I have backed Lossiemouth for the CH before the season started, the 4/1 readily available worries me a tad…….is the money telling a story or is it just bookmakers trying to balance their books? Lossiemouth was only 5/1 at the start of the season, yet she has not blotted her copybook this...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    It’s more a more looking likely that BDA may have had a few of those “crunchy carrots” Exar Essay talks about, in last year Leopardstown G1…….a 168 OR performance never looking like being repeated again…….

    With the extremes that we seem to be getting nowadays with our weather cycles, do we think we are due a softer than normal festival, or are the trends favouring the opposite? I am old enough to remember The Thinkers win in a snow blizzard but can’t remember many (any) since then, apart from the...

    2026 Gold Cup

    The winner rated OR 176 and RPR 182 for last years GC win……….OR 16lb better than ever before and RPR 19lb better than ever before GDC’s SP was 8/13 last year and considering before the race he had over a stone in hand, or more, than anything else in the race, then maybe he should have a been a...

    2026 Gold Cup

    I can clearly remember that GDC chase debut at Leopardstown and the enthusiastic and impressive round of jumping……it was “wow” expectations delivered and some!……especially as I had a large stake/price ante post slip for the BANC and thought I just had to wait for March and collect as nothing was...

    2026 Stayers Hurdle

    Interesting as when I mentioned on here that I was trying to get ahead of the Xmas Pertemps qualifier result that Sax shows is such a good trend for March, and look for Gordon Elliot’s with chances, I mentioned Sons of Anarchy……and low and behold it gets priced up before the final decs at 14/1...

    So if Jango, TJM and maybe GW are all targeting the Gold Cup, then it makes the Ryanair a bit thin on the ground with competition to FTF
