Solness has no chance.
Fair enough, I will cash out then.
Yes, good point on the fences. The standing start and then getting too close to the first left him in no position last year. Obviously we are still some way out to knowing exactly what will turn up, but we haven't seen Quilixios yet this season and to my mind there are no obvious horses to lead. Thistle Ask could be a spanner in the works if he was to go there but apart from him I don't see Solness having much competition.
Yeah it is a fair point re the fences but with a decent start I expect him to lead .
Keep forgetting him ! Think he picked up a minor injury didn't he ? Maybe back in training now.
Yeah but would he win first time out at DRF having had an injury? Maybe back for DRF race otherwise just wait post race as likely get bigger.
Has run well off a break in the past but hopefully the DRF will just be a stepping stone for Cheltenham.
I’d imagine it would be after such a break and recovery.
definitely improved but it’s hard to forget the supreme and Arkle runs. We all know how important course form and especially fez form is
Yeah the two descriptions didnt jump with fluency and didnt jump well for those 2 races when hes usually a good jumper does suggest he doesnt like the undulating nature of the track
The real question to me is
So I’m slightly biased as a backer, and gave him the benefit first time out. But like you, I wasn’t overly impressed last time out. Hoping he can go close at the DRF, but if not, no idea where he goes, as no chance he beats FTF in the ryannair. Interesting point about the early booomer, he was the biggest 4yo I’ve seen, and maybe he was just ahead of his 4yo peers in terms of growth
on the other hand, his arkle run was decent, given the horlicks 2 out….confused!!!!
Fair enough, I will cash out then.
Oh it’s wtaf, oh well that’s another couple of quid down the drain.
