    Win Today & Festival ‘27

    Murcia was 8th in the Fred Winter. She clearly never ran her race. I'm referring more to those who went close/ran their race. Bit of a strange race last year as well the 2nd and 3rd haven't been seen over hurdles since! The Aintree race last year only had Willy De Houelle and Gibbs Island who...

    Win Today & Festival ‘27

    When has the Fred Winter ever been form to follow, especially then in graded company? You have exceptions, such as Gaelic Warrior the following season and Jeff Kidder backed up his win. But in general horses struggle in the short term. If you were to take RPR's as a guide then they would have...

    Win Today & Festival ‘27

    Disappointed by the lack of options here today. The WillowWarm could have some baring on Ryanair next year I feel plus the novice races with an eye on chasing. Guess it is just too early for the bookmakers.

    2027 The Prices on Offer

    Jango Baie didn't do too bad stepping up. As a 7yo who has now proven he stays then he looks a very strong candidate for next year, though we are then down the 'beaten horses in GC rarely win it later' trend...

    2027 The Prices on Offer

    The age rule is an interesting one, reaching the point that you can question whether 9yos are too old now? This years winner now takes it to the last 10 winners were aged 7 or 8. In that period, the favourite has failed to win 5 times, three of those were aged 9, Galopin Des Champs, Al Boum...

    2027 The Prices on Offer

    Doesn't have to be that bad. WTAF bets can boost a price if you fancy one before their final run. 26 of the last 30 winners of the Supreme had won on their last start. A recent exception in Slade Steel could have been well covered in the related double with Ballyburn in the Turners having beaten...

    The problem with Wodhooh is that she is becoming a bit of a 'banker' for Elliott at the meeting. She may stay in the mares hurdle just to give him a great chance of a winner, rather than step up in trip and class and risk not having a winner.

    Cheltenham Festival Roll-Ups

    Can you cash out? Famous last words I'm sure but Chelsea have really struggled to get a hold of this game.

    2026 Grand National

    Can't believe the price of Mr Vango at 80/1 NRMB with Bet365. I know he has pulled up on last couple of starts but three miles off top weight at Sandown wasn't going to suit before stopping quickly in the Eider on ground that was definitely on the faster side of good to soft, similar conditions...

    He's already fav for the Arkle so not really suggesting something out of the blue. Yes, he may well stay over hurdles though wouldn't be convinced it will be based around what Act Of Innocence does. Problem is if he proves far too good in the Supreme (Ala Con Hill) and so points to sticking over...

    2027 The Prices on Offer

    The only price I have nibbled so far was the 16/1 for OPS to win the Supreme and Arkle. Looks an obvious case to go chasing next year and has a great chance in the Supreme. I may well have a go at the 33/1 Sober Glory for the Arkle also. Think he will be some chaser next season. Another Arkle...

    So it's four falls then before we pull up stumps?

    Has there ever been issues with his schooling? Rumours previously have been denied by the yard anyway.

    2026 Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle

    Had to hunt for the name of the horse. Duffys Hodey. Raced 9 times over hurdles without winning and a rating of 80. Then pulls up in a chase. In the space of a year he improves his hurdles mark from that 80 all the way to 112. He was then able to race in a chase off a mark of 79 (Actually...

    They do in Ireland. Seen one this season racing off a 40lb lower mark!

    Cheltenham Nap/Lay/ EW

    NAP - Teahupoo (Stayers) - Lack of competition, don't think they will slip up this year. LAY - El Cairos (Supreme) - Looks a quick horse but form is very questionable considering price and opposition. E/W - L'Eau Du Sud (Champ Chase) - Don't see him out of the places. Jumps and Travels over c/d...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    Kind of agree and hope is the case. If it was a prep for Cheltenham, why not go Kingwell? Surely it is to see if there is any longevity in a season or two on the flat? I would be inclined to think of an even less positive reaction to the horse galloping around Southwell with nothing to jump to...

    2026 Glenfarclas Cross-Country Chase (A Limited Handicap)

    The Auteuil course she won on is practically a cross country course with different types of obstacles to jump including a bank. More of a problem is the mile further trip as she looks quite a keen going type. She certainly has ability anyway.

    2026 Glenfarclas Cross-Country Chase (A Limited Handicap)

    Been priced at 20/1 with Willhill nrmb and 1/4 odds 4 places so I have had a small e/w stab. First bet in what is a pretty uninspiring race considering Stumptown will be looking to win a handicap off a mark in the low 160s. An unexposed French mare looks a good place to begin and a strong...
