    Overall Yankee - HughJardon

    Yes, it wouldn’t surprise me. I’d expect several of his market rivals to beat him, which for me rules out the win part of the bet, and leaves him scrapping for one, possibly two, places - along with a fair number of other horses. Like I said, just my opinion. Was dead against him last year and...

    Overall Yankee - HughJardon

    I know a lot are keen on him but not a fan of the Bob O price in what looks a competitive Stayers. Likely to have 6 very creditable rivals, plus a few lively outsiders.

    2026 Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Handicap Chase

    Best guess at what number will get in this? Ryan’s Rocket 27 and Highlands Legacy 28 both gotta be unlikely.

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    If you fancy him for Supreme then you can have £40+ at 180 on the exchange.

    2026 Jack Richards Novice Limited Handicap Chase

    Uhavemeinstitches could stay at home - current fav for Leinster National this Sunday (as you’ve prob seen). Should get in easily enough and can run off 6lbs less, for substantially more prize money. Leave Jeriko and Waterford for JP in Kim Muir.

    2026 Novice Chasers

    Slightly off on a tangent but if you like Mambo and Mighty Bandit then you've got to fancy Highlands Legacy in the GA. Beaten under a length by Mambo at Aintree giving Mambo 1lb (Glengouly in 3rd then won at Cheltenham a couple of races later) Beaten under 2 lengths by Bandit at Newbury getting...

    2026 BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (previously Coral Cup)

    Lol, if you don’t count the two post-Xmas ones this year then she hasn’t run in any handicaps since that win! Dan said the plan was made at Christmas so got to assume they weren’t trying their hardest in the last two.

    2026 BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (previously Coral Cup)

    Best Year’s Yet 131. Nice mark if there’s hidden ability..

    2026 Glenfarclas Cross-Country Chase (A Limited Handicap)

    Vanillier seems fair. 1lb less than he ran off at Haydock at Xmas. Any horse rated less than 143 will now be out the handicap.

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    The horse I keep coming back to for the Turners is Shuttle Diplomacy. The key form line is with Rasko and how you rate his runs this season. Xmas debut was at a time when Willie's were generally poor but he looked good - would he have been even better if Willie's were fully firing - maybe not...

    General Chat

    Can anyone advise on how the weights are announced tomorrow? All races at once? At what time? Do BHA log ins get advance viewing? Trying to plan my day!

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    I'd be thinking the exact opposite - trainers work to their own agendas. Elliot prefers F2F in the GC because he has no dog in the fight. Get him out of the Ryanair and gives Firefox a bit of a better chance. They interviewed Skelton at the weekend and mentioned Con Hill. Before he answered, I...

    2026 Trust a Trader Plate Handicap Chase

    Yeah, I saw he’d been cut during my evening scroll though oddschecker. Was contemplating a top up but will leave for now and shift my attention to a few others on the handicap shortlist! Would imagine someone on social media or a racing site has tipped him.

    2026 Trust a Trader Plate Handicap Chase

    Top of my list for this at the moment is Will The Wise - was pleased to see Cromwell suggest this is the likely target (instead of the JR novice race) in his latest stable tour. Has Cheltenham experience from the Pertemps final last year (after winning the Naas qualifier). Regarding his chase...

    2026 County Hurdle

    The Morebattle definitely has the potential to impact the County. First place prize money is very similar for both races (circa £60K last year). Must be very appealing for connections to take in the Morebattle and then have the prospect of a £100K bonus at the Festival. They obviously don’t...

    2026 Martin Pipe Conditionals Handicap Hurdle

    Definitely of interest. Elliot name dropped four for the Pipe in stable tour, with the caveat it was early days. Son of Anarchy not entered He Can’t Dance Wendrock entered in Pertemps qualifier Sunday Open Secret OS off 128 ire, given 131 for Sedgefield race he was also entered in, so, barring...

    Should get 132 as that’s how they assessed him in the qualifier. Not guaranteed though as hasn’t raced/entered in UK since then.

Danny said afterwards that it had been plotted since the summer. Given 146 in the National weights so...
