Obviously we've not seen what he'd be up against, but completely agree he'd be rightful fav for a Supreme.
As a 'gambling yard' you'd think they'd be mopping up the bigger prices if they we're wrong though?
Could be waiting for the right time to strike!

lets see if Samcro heads down the Moscow Flyer/Deloitte route. That should answer some questions.
 
If the cap fits faces a horse I liked 1st time out in demon daunou, I would however expect him to win today before going on to bigger and better things.

White moon in the last at Exeter faces stronger opposition than he did the 1st time out, it looked to be a very weak race. so will be interesting to see if he can win here, would be impressive if he could stretch away in the same manner.

Minds eye declared for tomorrow.
Samcro fans will be hoping he goes well.
I personally don't rate minds eye at all and can't see why samcro is anywhere near so short.

Well, Minds Eye won, beating Blow By Blow in the process, as I said previously though this means nothing to me personally yet because of the way Samcro won on debut anyway. Testing times ahead for Samcro, and I'm hoping there is substance to the hype in better races to come.

Nice performance that from If The Cap Fits. Looking like a good little bet.
 
Blow By Blow has drifted from 1/4 to 2/1C, off the track over a year and over a trip that looks like it'll be too short for him.... would expect a huge step forward next time, and it makes this race quite hard to read IMO.

Certainly isn't a negative for Samcro, but wouldn't see it as a positive even though be beat the winner (minds Eye) 15L last time.

Yeh was good should improve for 2m4 aswell jumps and travels well. And if you haven't noticed I think he's pretty good :)

You make a very good point kevloaf.

I won't knock him, quick grabem was a fair bumper horse last year. It's good to see that minds eye is atleast capable of beating him .
 
Lol :) wasn't sure if I mentioned him enough.
 
I see White Moon has been pulled out of the Neptune trail on Friday at cheltenham. He's just hosed up in the 4.05 at Exeter.
Im liking my 33s for the Potato/Neptune at the fez

Just watched white moons race, he was good. Saves you a hassle backing him for both as I'm really not sure which he will go for, on previous entries alone having been entered over 2m7 previously I'd edge towards Albert bartlett but could end up in either.
surely Up in grade next, 10/1 any race would be too short for me atm. But he looks a good one.
 
Tizzard states that he'll send White Moon to the next cheltenham meeting. Im looking forward to him mixing it at a higher level.
 
cannot see White Moon as a neptune type at all. Albert Bartlett if hes good enough.
 
Samcro out at Navan on Sunday 2.4miler grade3.
