2026 Juveniles

Is 8/1 still fair?

Think its incredibly short in a race that many could unearth really big chances yet.

He sort of showed his hand yesterday so will be interesting to see the hcapper puts him up.
what price do you think he should be now Jim ?

Is it a case of waiting to see what the handicapper does ?

Probably not going to see anything impressive from an Irish horse as they will likely be plotted
 
I've not fact checked this but 8/1 is probably about as short as British trained runners start in this! Wouldn't be in any rush with that one, even if you fancy him.

Yeah hard to put a price on his head without knowing what new mark he will be given.
 
Something I've been keeping an eye on last couple of days

The gap is closing between Narciso Has and Proactif on the exchange

Narciso traded as low as 4.4 - currently 5.1
Proactif now trading at 8.2

Plenty blue across the board for Proactif today.

Tomorrow is entry day for a fillies listed Juvenile @ Donny, and also the Triumph trial @ HQ. Wonder if we finally see Manlaga at one of those :ROFLMAO: more likely Donny no doubt.
 
Manlaga doubly entered at both Cheltenham & Doncaster!
 
He'll withdraw her again if the race looks too hard. Like if a monster like macktoad or tenter le tout takes up their entry 😂

Where are you seeing those entries COD? I'm off to Trials day so interested in the entries for all 8 fantastic races!

Lad on Twitter has posted about her.

But she's been working terribly, Henderson wouldn't take her to Cheltenham surely :D
 
Nice contest that, Tenter Le Tout won't be a pushover, Chesters mum has a really nice juvenile as well.


FWIW Chester is running the London Marathon this year for charity, SANDS is the charity, they helped him & his wife when they lost their son Archie, if anyone wanted to donate I can get a link posted up.

…..he did mention MNH or TH for Tenter le Tout after her impressive Chepstow win.

Was looking at the MNH but couldn't find any 4yo ever running in it before so was wondering if they could tbh, I haven't got the racing callander book this year,been a bit lazy :/

Edit - If Chester has mentioned the race for her then 4yos must be eligable to run, sure he'll have checked.

….he also said ‘she’s a stayer rather than a speed horse and the New Course will suit her well’.
