Albert Bartlett 2019

Be some ask to win the Albert Bartlett off the back of one hurdles run; fair to see quite often the best long term horse doesn’t win this

Many would say the same of winning a stayer's without a run, this is WPM though, whilst he is not 'god' he certainly opens up the possibilities for 'anything' to happen IMO, would be some effort though.
 
CS cut from 20’s into 14’s with PP/Betfair today for what it’s worth.
 
Hoping Emitom ends up here after the race tomorrow - think he’s more of a AB horse with lots of stamina and not a change of gears

I'll be keeping an eye on the Royal Bond runners for this race, more so the WPM runners.

Despite it only being a 2m race it does seem to be a good one to follow for this one come the festival

Commander Of Fleet it is then! Not the ideal age for a runner in this, IMO, but Gigginstown done it with Very Wood at the same age, so I shall now be adding him to the list for this. Already have him 'any race' but needed something else to go with Rockpoint & Carefully Selected and he will do for me.

He ticks plenty of boxes for me, and to think I considered him for the Supreme at one point....oh the embarrassment :highly_amused:

7/1 NRNB is still a decent enough price IMHO.

Entered in the Mercedes Benz hurdle at Clonmel next Thursday. Should get his ground and will get his trip if declared :devilish:

Faugheen ran over 3m :devilish:

In all seriousness, if himself and allaho are going to lose there novice tag it's going to be in a graded race. There's nothing over 2 1/2. So I wouldn't rule it out just yet.
I really don't want another runner in the bartlett so I am speaking with optimism , but I think theres is unbias sense to it.

There’s a grade 3 over 2m 4f at Thurles in a fortnight, Blow By Blow won it last year. Only leaves you 3 weeks prep for the festival however.

Who’s your current main fancy in the AB?

Easy game if he ran. Which might sound strange as my others much shorter than him in the betting.

I’ve backed Easy Game for the Ballymore , do you think he’ll improve again being upped in trip ?
With Rhinestone running so well LTO I’m surprised at the odds still available
Have I missed something?

Perhaps people don't think Rhinestone ran his race that day in the Grade 2, or they're looking at how close Getareason was (2L) behind and using him as a form guide instead?

Rhinestone deffinately diddnt have the opportunity to run his race. He made a mistake and ran into trouble. However i think easy game is perfect for this race. He showed everything last time to me. Was stuck in traffic and in trouble himself, but came through, going away at the line. It's always a rough race in the bartlett.
 
Commander Of Fleet a sea of blue on Oddschecker for this.

Not surprising really, suspect he will go very close myself, and the most likely winner for me now.

Hope you’re right COD
Took 12/1 Any Race and DRF double and after Scooby’s comments have added Easy Game as cover having bet it already for Ballymore

I'm on him 'any race' too, but feel obliged to get involved on him for this race, all NRNB of course.

That was a solid race LTO, probably the best of the Irish form for this race, and I can only hope they want to avoid Battleoverdoyen too.

The more I look at the race and the potential contenders the more I am seeing COF as an incredibly strong bet myself.
