Narciso Has vs Mange Tout confirmed for Sunday

Mange tout only getting the 3lbs from NH this time round

As expected, the headgear is also back on Mange Tout, as well.

Yeah they said that would be the case, can certainly see why

It's going to be an intriguing match up for sure

Narciso Has 'well in' at the weights, but Mange Tout got race fitness edge

I've never been on the side of NH and some pretty shrewd people love him so will be interesting to see how badly wrong I am :ROFLMAO: Be likely a new Triumph fav come Sunday you'd imagine either way

Haha it's not just you.

I've not backed him at all, however as cover for Mange Tout I may play the WTAF, if it's a decent enough price.

I'm hoping to see a much improved performance by Mange Tout though.

Could be something to keep an eye on for sure that special, get @Eggs on the case

Yep expect to see Mange Tout go v well and hopefully the hood tempers a little early enthusiasm from her

Highland Crystal done it well in the end.

Robcour have some smart juveniles this season, that's for sure.

Onto Sunday!

Not even released Matin or Marco yet.

May hold Marco back if they don't need him/not as good.

what on earth is that shit

He was 14s earlier just to win the Triumph alone and that special makes it asif he's a 1/2 shot to win on Sunday :ROFLMAO:

I wouldn't have backed unless they went silly daft though which was always unlikely

Mange tout wins anyway!

….Hills have pushed MT out to 25s in their TH market, maybe why they’re offering 40-1 WTAF.
 
…Mullins re Narciso;

I think this is a very nice acquisition from France. He’s come here with a good reputation and is doing everything nicely at home. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do here against Irish opposition.

The bookies have priced this race up wrong for me anyway. They have put Narciso Has in at odds on purely on the talk around him. I haven't backed him. The Triumph favourites through the summer don't usually end up favourites on the day. I fell into this trap with Bunting but had Majborough and Kargese anyway so it didn't matter. Your running analysis of the French form has definitely helped in this regard.

Probably priced on hype of Narciso tbf, and the fact that many weren't impressed with IRE debut of Mange tout.


Bit early to say that last bit :ROFLMAO:

We'll see..

Think if you have AP slips on either of the first two, you will be happy. Winner progressing nicely, more progress if the jumping improves a little. Nice race by second, jumping was mainly very good.
