As always plenty of exciting horses to look forward to but the one that intrigues me the most is Diol Ker.
I think the potato race was a decent renewal and Diol Ker smashed the winner earlier in the season, assuming he is still alive and makes the Autumn fit and well he could be a serious prospect...

Diol Ker is a tricky one for me, for all he may be a talent, it was the step up in trip that saw Monkfish in a better light, I wonder if the same result would have happened should they have met at 3m, I also can't help but feel he was putting his previous seasons experience hurdling to good use, against hurdle debutantes.

Diol Ker also has PTP form behind Sams Profile and The Big Getaway, albeit may well have challenged the latter had he not fallen, but he finds himself shorter in the RSA market than both SP and TBG. Can't discount improvement of course.
 
5 from this year's Festival:

1) Allaho
2) Ferny Hollow
3) Appreciate it
4) Ocean Wind
5) Dame Des Compagnie


& 5 (not so) dark horses

6) Felix desjy
7) get in the queue
8) Trueshan
9) Bright Forecast
10) Commander of Fleet
 
1. Envoi Allen (will he remain unbeaten?)
2. Al Boum Photo (can he make it 3 in a row)
3. Chacun Pour Soi (can he live up to the hype)
4. Marie's Rock (hopefully progress into a C.Hurdle mare)
5. Angels Breath (unknown potential returning from injury)
6. Topofthegame (gold cup contender)
7. Dickie Diver (missed last season could be anything)
8. Boothill (impressive bumper winner supreme outsider)
9. The big Breakaway (could improve for staying chases)
10. Samcro (very in and out will they go for the gold Cup?)
 
1. Envoi Allen - Should be the star novice chaser of the season
2. Dickie Diver - Exciting if the setback this year hasn't taken too much out of him
3. Gars De Sceaux - Could be anything after winning his Point impressively
4. The Big Breakaway - Looks like the further he goes the better he will be
5. Flintuer Sacre - if he has half the ability of Sprinter they will have some big days ahead
6. Ballyadam - buying into the hype but can't help but be excited to see what happens next season
7. Pic D'Orhy - other than Shishkin would be the only obvious English contender in the Arkle division
8. King Roland - looked very green but with bags of ability this year
9. Topofthegame - after the seasons Santini and Delta Work have had you cant help but this TOTG is a Gold Cup contender
10. Hitman - not sure on the form but looked visually brilliant in his French runs
 
The Obvious
1) Shishkin
2) Envoi
3) Monkfish

The Returning - fingers crossed!
4) Malone Road
5) Gypsy Island

Young Horses / Relatively Unknowns

I’m looking forward to seeing a few horses that either failed to fire due to a lack of race fitness, injury or race opportunity next season. I’m not sure where they’ll end up but I’m intrigued to see what happens with:
Angels Breath, Flysmart, Lucky One, Lamarkise, Gypsy Island, Marie’s Rock, Dickie Diver, Bright Forecast, Commander of Fleet, Mister Coffey and Interconnected.

I’m looking forward to seeing the best of this years festival and JP’s expensive purchases that failed to live us to the expectation such as Andy Dufrense, Chantry House and Elixir D’Anay also.
 
Im looking forward to Fury Road! I think a horse as big as he is and the fact he stays, seemed to enjoy cheltenham could be a real one for the RSA he is one i will be backing earlier.

Flinteur Sacre, Although he lost his first bumper his second go at it was effortless it was brilliant and hopefully he will be aimed at at the supreme

Looking forward to Bright Forecast his run behind Champ in the ballymore could be some nice form now and 40/1 RSA could be a nice EW bet

Will be interesting to see what they do with Andy Dufresne and with that also Captain Guiness travelling really well in the supreme has to be taken into consideration

BUZZIN FOR 2021 absolutely chewing theres no nags right now
 
1.) Uhtred - Joseph O'Brien - Supreme
2.) Farouk D'alene - Gordon Elliott - Ballymore
3.) Sir Gerhard - Gordon Elliott - Supreme
4.) Keskonrisk - Joseph O'Brien - Supreme
5.) Quilixios - Gordon Elliott - Triumph
6.) The Big Getaway - Willie Mullins - RSA
7.) Chantry House - Nicky Henderson - Marsh
8.) Stattler - Willie Mullins - Albert Bartlett
9.) Eskylane - Gordon Elliott - Albert Bartlett
10.) Gaillard Du Mesnil - Willie Mullins - Supreme (full write up added to my diary)
 
...mine

1 Saint Calvados (ran well in defeat)
2 Real Steel (looked so good for so long in the GC. Could be one for King George)
3 Melon (going up in trip)
4 Diol Ker (Mead’s comments that he’s one for next year)
5 Elexir D’Ainay (folly to ignore an early Scooby selection)
6 Fakir D’oudairies (14-1 any race is a good price to chuck in a few multiples)
7 Thyme Hill (Hobbs has already mentioned the Stayers)
8 Ballyadam (is it hype or not?)
9 Shishkin/Envoi Allen any race (part of many of my speculative multiples)
10 Column of Fire (please banish the memory)

New round here but big fan of the forum

Just 1 for now (sorry to go against the theme)

Julies Stowaway - Very interesting as the form of his bumper win has been franked by Delvino (2nd) and Ballyadam (3rd), and his earlier bumper form, 2nd to Fire Attack and Wide Reciever puts him right up there among the Irish prospects. I think the champion bumper came too soon after that big effort in the navan mud against Ballyadam, but I was impressed with the way he stayed on after looking like finishing way down the field coming round the bend. His pedigree suggests he may be one to keep an eye on for staying novice hurdles next season. I'd of thought he'll be flying under the radar for a while given he's trained by Maggie Mullins.
 
Envoi Allen
Easyland
Shishkin
Ferny Hollow
Ballyadam
Captain Guinness
Appreciate It
Queens Brook
Goshen
The Big Getaway

All are well known, and hopefully they are all open to significant progress.

I was going to say any fucking 10 horses on grass, at a UK track will do me.

It will be interesting if we see more 3 year olds who don't get to run much this flat season go on to jump some hurdles in the autumn.
Has to be more tempting for some owners/trainers.

I see Brentford Hope is priced up for the Triumph. Owners are known better for jump horses so it'll be interesting to see what happens with him.

I will find it impossible not to back him for the Triumph after already backing him for The Derby at 40/1 :highly_amused:
