Albert Bartlett 2020

I am surprised that Colreevy is as big a price as she is for this (40/1). She was a high class Bumper mare (beating Black Tears easily giving 10pounds in a Grade 3). Her campaign has been interesting given she has a such a stout pedigree and will be suited by three miles. She won her maiden (relatively poor race) over 2 1/2 miles at Christmas but then dropped back, for some reason, to 2 1/4 miles in a Grade 3 - finishing second. A staying on 7th (beaten 8 lengths) in Relegate's Champion Bumper, she will relish the stamina requirements on the New Course and is definitely worth a look.
 
Has Pipe stated anywhere that Ramses comes here, with having such a nice profile for the National Id have him back over fences at the festival as a prep for what will of been his target all year and especially now they cant ruin his mark (assuming the hurdle runs have been protecting what they think is a winnable National mark)
 
Got £4 on Decor Irlandais at 294 on exchange. lots of battle hardened types have won this.

Not a bad shout- i do think she could well end up going up against the geldings.

Declared at Haydock tomorrow
 
Exchanges seem to suggest this will be the way Thyme Hill is going Id say.

Agreed. Clear fav now ahead of Latest Exhibition. Hobbs avoiding Envoi Allen? Been a couple of contradictory statements from the yard on it by looks of it, Hobbs saying less likely here & doesn't want a slog yet Johnson saying things happening too quickly for him over the shorter distance (Racing Post source, albeit in Jan).

Yes been very hard to keep up and have a strong opinion either way! I was sure AB a few months ago then starting to think Ballymore a few weeks ago.

Just read Pipe saying in cityam.com "Ramses really pleased us at Doncaster last time and the ground will be in his favour again. David Noonan will take the ride and the obvious plan will be to head to the Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival if all goes to plan"

I see hes not declared for tomorrow though now

Going for the Ballymore rather than this from last I saw:

Oops. Stats got busted last year but more races the better was my view on this race - he could actually win this based on previous results imo whereas all running for second in the Ballymore.

Gault has this

8 of the 15 had 3 or 4 runs over hurdles. indo only two, second to Alloha in a 3m Clonmel G3. 'Harry and Berties had 14, Moulin 8 both second season novices, Martello Tower and At Fishers Cross, both 6 hurdle runs, Penhill had seven. The latter had been on the go since May, possibly originally seen as a summer hurdler.

Minella Indo buried the stat that all 36 horses that had contested less than three hurdle races had been beaten. Birchdale, Dickie Diver had also only two runs. Alloha had one hurdle run in France before coming to Ireland. Two qualifiers in 2018, Santini (fav) and Ballyward.

I'm with you on this horse Mayo.
Couldn't see him winning ballymore even without Envoi Allen, but the bartlett maybe.
They did commit to the ballymore then leave him entered in here though. So you never know.
I backed him for this ew at 60-1 but have counted it as a loser for now, but got similar price to you for the ballymore for a few quid. Just in case a miracle happened.
For a yard like this to win a race at cheltenham would be nice.
 
The Trainer seemed to say , they didn't think they'd win the Ballymore .
But in the mix for places and it being about the owners having their day in the Sun ,.
 
Mullins in RP on Sat....pleased the G3 novice over 3m rearranged from last Thurs as looking forward to running Lord Royal again & hoping he can prove what they think & back up debut leading on to here....

Pleased this the target still as really like him on what we’ve seen so far
 
That Sporting John result was good for Thyme Hill backers here. Doubt PH would send both Ballymore
 
Oh my God, Ramses De Teillee is an absolute good thing here isn't he? :highly_amused:

Think he might need it soft and a very good gallop but he'll not give up I reckon.

If they get today’s conditions then yes. Would not be that keen on good ground though.
