152/1 with PP for that related double :eek-new:
 
Willie says the opposite to Frank Berry regarding Kel Historie with Frank mentioning a quicker run race to suit Kel next time, as we know Jp’s camp decide targets so i wouldnt be shocked if they persist with 2m with Kel.
 
Lucky place not being entered for the Cleeve is slightly puzzling, hope all is well and hendo has decided the rendlesham in mid Feb at Haydock would be a better race first time over 3miles.
That's what I'm hoping.

Couldn't think of a worse Cheltenham festival trial than that Haydock meeting in mid Feb. Last 5 years we've had one good to soft, 1 soft with heavy in places and 3 heavy ground descriptions. As you say, puzzling why he wasn't entered - ran at the meeting last year before his good run at the Festival.

Had Nicky mentioned the Stayers as a potential target for him?

I was just going back through the stable tours and all he mentions about him is being a chaser for next season.

He mentioned it after the relkeel.
And he has an entry in the stayers.

it would have been a bit pie in the sky back when stable tours came out, surely nobody see him as a potential contender :devilish:

You'd have to be mad enough to think Gidleigh Park and Calico were good bets in different races to think Lucky Place for the Stayers was a possibility back then! :smiley_simmons::highly_amused:

It’s a worry

Exchange looks normal/solid for him, so no signs of anything untoward from that angle.

yeah I agree . Fingers crossed everything is fine and they have a plan as the race needs every bit of help it can get rn
 
Went to trials day last season, ran well without winning at the festival, maybe they're thinking going straight there as fresh as possible is a better idea, horse will be fit enough after two good wins this season so just keep him ticking over.
I'm obviously guessing as to why LP is a no show, but that'd be my best reasoning as the gap between Cleeve & festival would be a better sit than the Rendlesham imo.
 
….no idea of plans but 25-1 NRNB for Gala Marceau with 365 is a bit of a stand-out given she’s 10-1 Sky and 14-1 Hills.

Her form from two years ago she'd have a great chance, but she's a mare and they can go in the head any minute, and her form from last year suggests that might be the case.
If she were to take up her engagement at Leopardstown and run credibly then she's enter calculations, but she's only entered in that 2m race which suggests Mullins doesn't view her as a stayer.
I tend to chase the winner of the Stayers every year so for now I'll hold off backing my 5th horse in the race....
 
Just noticed her UK mark is 144, just a small chance she could be the Pipe horse and they're keeping her back for that.
Still more chance she's gone though....

Sweet Cherries

I'm there Saturday so he'll be one Ill take a chance with. Doubts about the front two liking the course and the rest are not up to much. Transmission just loves it round there and devours the hill. Looks like we could get plenty of rain as well to make it testing.
