Yep. Reads well doesn't it. If she takes to the course she could be a great bet at the weekend

I think (fwiw) that Minella Yoga is underestimated. The form in beating Act of Innocence (now 2nd fav in the Turners ) is impressive. Yet it is still available at 20/1.
 
Henderson taking the easy option with Feel Gut at Warwick today. With Macho Man beaten the other day has Joe Donnelly bought a couple of pigs in a poke?

Lovely related double with Maxios Aurelius in the first at Warwick today. Steady 100/1 roll up, for a 1,110/1 double.
 
Kai Lung, Moulin Labbe & Mon Creuset all declared for Willie in the Naas Juvenile Hurdle on Sunday.

Saratoga also declared for it also, which will give him plenty of time to get that 3rd run in to.

Kennedy up for Lynches Knock's 3rd start, worth keeping an eye on given Ndaawi won this a couple of years back

Those French breeders must love Gigginstown. Mon Creuset by a Guineas winner whose most successful progeny has amassed 168 grand, out of a mare who has produced an 87-rated hurdler with Don McCain and Et Dite, probably the worst horse the Menards have ever owned.
 
Manlaga has it all to do tomorrow against a race fit Highland Crystal, who looks a proper horse herself.

….40-1 TWAF with PP (only 25-1 TWAF with Hills).
 
Feel Gut looks good. He's done a bit wrong there. Jumped big, quite keen. A real chaser in time. I wonder if they'll think an extra year would suit him better? Next year's Supreme horse rather than this year's Triumph horse.

Didn't like the 2nd last, bit of a Constitution Hill look to it, small coupled horse, going to be a bull of a horse with another year on his back.

They've got no reason not to roll the dice with the Triumph though, win and it's a festival winner, lose and he's still a novice for next season.
 
Nicky with a non-committal response to the inevitable question, but suggests there are two trains of thinking: 1) Run him in another Academy hurdle; or 2) chuck him in a good race, and if he loses that he's still a novice. Mannerisms suggested the latter may be the case but nothing conclusive.

Yeah I think I agree. My only counter point is that I presume they'd build him up slower if he doesn't have a Grade 1 aim at the end of this season.
 
Next entry will be interesting re Gut Feel as he surely needs another run before March if he’s to go triumph.
Thought he was a little keen, and a touch green which is no surprise.
1st jump a bit big and 2nd last a bit of a grab for the hurdle, aside from that very good jumping I thought.
He’s certainly going to be a chaser in time, no doubt about that!!
looks a good one on first impression anyway.
 
Feel gut was getting 7lb from the second fave in that race, who's rated 110. It was a pretty weak affair. He was also comfortably beaten by macho man.

I've backed him at bigger prices because its possible has more improvement in him than macho man, and just because i thought he'd hack up in a nothing race and get trimmed, which has happened.

He couldn't do much more than he did today though. But the 20-25s available is about right imo. Some have gone 12s which is an overreaction.
