Albert Bartlett 2020

Diol Ker not entered at Dublin
not surprising really after such a break.
Hopefully he is fit and well as his form took another boost again just now with opposites attract winning again.
That's three in behind all winning a couple of races since.
They can't all have ran below form you'd think. Looks more solid all the time.

Are entries in this week for the novice hurdles ??

So he should be he has won at that trip in heavy ground on the bridle, serious nag that id say itll win the albert bartlett
 
Not a fan of Fury Road myself, although the film is in my Top 10 of all time.

Think he's one that might get found out, at the weekend.
His forms not stacking up that well, although he's done it nicely enough I suppose.

Agreed not entirely convinced on him either. He’s one to take on imo all day
 
I’ll be all over which ever one of the Donnelly horses comes here whether it be Asterion Forlonge or The Big Getaway. I’d personally have The Big Getaway in this and Asterion Forlonge over shorter. Really impressed with their respective performances. Will be interesting to see whether AF runs in the 2m6 or 2m race at Leopardstown

Surely The Big Getaway won't be asked to make such a quick reappearance having beaten nothing very easily? He looks the part but this would represent a massive step up in class. I think he is more next year's RSA horse.

I disagree and think he is one to be taken seriously. On balance I would probably prefer Latest Ex to win (66/1) but my only other ante post in the AB is Furey @ 22/1,mainly based at the time on his 3rd @ Punchestown bumper in May given a 133 for. A lot better than an old slowboat

Had a watch of his races today and not convinced he'll quite stay the bartlett trip as well as some others.
I'd have preferred him to pick up again after the last hurdle mistake, but once he got back galloping he didn't find much and they were closing fast, after being last off the bridle I'd have expected him to have more left, even after the mistake.

However, it could be deceiving and he may have been hurt or winded for all I know.
He was one I was going to cover before Dublin, but not gonna bother.

I'll Have to cope with it if he wins easily on saturday.

Getting an overwhelming sense of him being a 'next year' horse though.

Like Disko was as a novice hurdler?

Just me that’s backed Ramses de Teillee for this at 33s then?

At least he’s a guaranteed stayer!

Nope definitely not the only one, on at 33’s as well and think he has a good chance given his experience. Seems to be in good form with himself this season as well, dispatched champagne well easily enough

Wouldn’t be shocked if he rocked up in the race Allaho beat Indo in
 
Really undecided with what to do about diol ker, having backing him at 33’s, only small stakes and with the entries due tomorrow...not sure whether to cash him and go NRNB at half the price or hope he gets an entry and see where we go from there....

Trust your initial judgement. IMO
I don’t have the luxury of cash-out, but sometimes I’m glad that I don’t have the extra decision to make.
 
Field of eight for the 2M6F Grade 1 Novice Hurdle on Saturday.

Assemble
Cobblers Way
Elixir D'Ainay
Fury Road
Latest Exhibition
Longhouse Poet
Aircraft Carrier
Home By The Lee

Hopefully with a field that side we can have no hard-luck stories in-running and see who goes onto Cheltenham with a strong chance in the Ballymore and/or the Bartlett. Maybe one or two also move towards the handicaps after this.

Will join you in that prayer. I am at the Leicester v Chelsea game when the racing is on, so I wont catch the replays and results until later. My mates aren't big racing fans (apart from one), so I am hoping to do a 'Likely Lads' and avoid seeing the results until I can watch the replays when I get back home at 7pm. :highly_amused:
