    May ‘26 Yankee Courtesy of @ComplyOrDie

    I’d expect there to be several better than Koktail Divin in the Ryanair next year. If that’s the race to look at I’d prefer Romeo Coolio at 20/1 of those stepping out of novice company. Rated 8llbs higher than KD and beat him over the mid distance trip at the start of the season (granted that...

    Win Today & Festival ‘27

    I notice Hills have a few up for tomorrow. Jimmy Du Seuil with Stayers 150/1 Kawaboomga with Stayers 80/1 Both make some appeal in a race that looks winnable.

    I'm on a similar page with regards to the Irish pair. Assuming they'll be split, HOF looks like he'll want further than two miles which suggests the BANC. I also think Kawaboomga wants a trip and will go BANC if he goes chasing. Regarding KRG, Casey's Arkle comments, Willie mentioning Churdle...

    April ‘26 Yankee courtesy of @Hurricane Fly

    I'd much prefer HOF to Johnny's Jury, even with the difference in price. If Willie has HOF and Kawaboomga as staying novice chasers for next season, does that impact King Rasko? I know the Churdle was mentioned but assuming he goes chasing, I can see him being tried over the 2m route, looked...

    Grand National meeting & US Masters Double 2026

    As are B365. Lecky at 50's looks a decent enough stab.

    Nope, was 132, 139 with mares allowance.

    2027 The Prices on Offer

    Was looking at the mares hurdle market - Willie’s in particular, gathering early thoughts on who he might step up to challenge Wodhooh (assuming Lossie defends the CH). Anyway, got to Majolique and noticed her debut RPR had been downgraded to 120. I remember Sax highlighting her a few weeks...

    2027 The Prices on Offer

    How about Kawaboomga for the BANC. As a novice hurdler Willie talked about him appreciating the extra distance of the Turners. I reckon he’ll go novice chasing next season and all roads will lead to the BANC. He looked in good health on his recent reappearance and, once again, did his best...

    2027 The Prices on Offer

    Also got Live Conti who Dan really likes. Mentioned him as a potential Arkle horse more than once this season. I reckon Mydaddy would have a serious chance in the Churdle - am aware of the chasing quotes from Dan though.

    2027 The Prices on Offer

    Hadn’t looked at 2027 prices as unsure of my approach for next season but just had a quick scan and these were ones that caught my eye: Arkle Mighty Park 33 Leader D’Allier 40 Churdle Mydaddypaddy 33 BANC Bossman Jack 33 No Drama This End 33 Ryanair Romeo Coolio 25 Stayers New Lion 40

    2026 Juveniles

    Always looked well held to me and presumably 4th choice at least for this (Paul/Danny/Patrick), not sure I’d be queueing up to back him even if it was just Willie’s running!

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    It’d take down a lot of multis for people but also be a benefit to long time IEP backers, Heartwood (big price) ew backers, plus late Banbridge ew ‘bet to nothing’ merchants. Would class myself as all three, plus a late Jonbon cover backer who’d lose out on rule 4.

    Weather Watch 2026

    I’m naturally cynical but my underlying feeling is if F2F was working really well (presumably like he was ahead of DRF when not many expected him to line up) he’d be running - no questions about anything. The fact Jonbon was declared, along with IEP, whilst circumstantial evidence, does add up...

    Not that it affects anything now but notice there is a non-runner in the Kim Muir, a few hours too late for J’Arrive D’Lest.

    2026 BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (previously Coral Cup)

    Thought I’d done with my bets for today but taking a late swing at Sony Bill 50/1. Saw a WPM interview earlier in the week and he made an interesting comment when asked about a dark horse for the festival. It was along the lines of look out for our 3rd/4th string in some races. Just the way he...

    2026 Novice Chasers

    I’ve liked Western Fold for this all season. Bigger and better field than expected, but countered by Final Demand’s regression into the pack rather than being the strong fav he threatened to be. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.. He’s still a v attractive ew price for anyone not on at...

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Just had a look at the Turner’s market, thought I was seeing things! Not sure TTT ran his race at all today, didn’t look good from a long way out. Wouldn’t be writing off the form line with him (DRF especially) so quickly. No Drama a solid fav but some bizarre prices in behind..

    J J Slevin jocked up on Matata, does hint that IEP will be declared with Townend on board.

    ‘26 FRED WINTER Juv H’cap Hd

    Wonder if they pull a horse on the day whether a BHA vet/representative has to check the horse out - or they just accept stable’s word. Got this image in my head of (possibly) Bertutea, chilling out in his stable at Closutton, wearing a ‘fuck you Charles’ placard round his neck.
