[Bonjers]

Ended up with 5, apparently - I don't think the decs tracking on the BHA is working (well it isn't updating for me, anyway).

​Who wins?! :boxing:

 

[Lobos]

I keep getting drawn to Nube Negra with the ground drying up all the time.

You'll be easy to spot if that wins then.

Crowd goes Annie Power silent - and some c**t is shouting "Wowsers" and "Sweet cherry nipples " whilst running around the best mate enclosure with his shirt off.

That'd probably get you on the telly as well :encouragement:

We have met then.

I'm doing him in the 'without JB' market so watch for me if he finishes 2nd as well.

[Hurricane fly]

Well well well

I assume the jumping will be put down to the jockey change

 

[robith]

Cat, met pigeons

 

[DenmanSacre]

Never got into a rhythm. Cheltenham may just not be his course. Done well to battle back but the effort cost him.

 

[TigerRolllllll]

He’s always rubbish at this time of year ,& also Nicky mixed form issue

Still can’t imagine Willie too worried

 

[Carnage at Taunton]

I just hope he’s ok after that.
Good thing is he’s never done that before and hopefully never will again!!
As for the QM, going to have to jump like he can, then he has as much chance as he had before today.

 

[robith]

Nicky saying he only made one mistake - I must get the name of the brandy he drinks its good stuff

 

[Speedy17]

Nicky said he only saw 1 mistake, think he needs glasses. That was a fairly dire performance.

I just booked him an appointment for Specsavers

Yeah, he needs to watch it again

 

[TigerRolllllll]

What was Bowen doing at that fence with big mistake?

watch it in slow motion….,he’s lost one hand & half off even before the jump? Maybe anticipating….im not a jockey, but that looked a little odd

 

[robith]

I sometimes think he talks like a football manager and wants to back The Boys publicly, except they're horses and they don't care what he says in interviews

Don’t really know to be honest.

I do think Jonbon needs Nico badly if he’s to have any chance against the monster.
Hes a better horse with him on top attacking the fences.
Proper jockey on 2m chasers.

Doubt an easy ride ….Nico would def help

For some reason jonbon seems to struggle at this time of year

Was poor at Warwick last year and his worst run over hurdles was at haydock
