No is the answer to that

Pipe said: "He's probably the shortest-price runner we'll have had at the Cheltenham Festival for a while so it'll be a long five weeks in the build up. There's definitely a buzz. Everyone was excited after the day at Ascot and a horse like him would give an added buzz to any yard.
"We've been really happy with him since Ascot, he's had an easy time but we're starting to build him up. We'll try and get him there in good form and see what happens."


"Funnily enough I've been watching a few more bumpers after Ascot," added Pipe. "The filly who won at the Dublin Racing Festival looked good. There wasn't a standout in the geldings but she did look good. It's hard to know what she beat but there was some decent prize-money so I suspect there was some fancied ones in there.

"We're not worried about the others though, our priority is to get him there in the same form as Ascot. If we can do that then hopefully he should be there at the finish."

I'm very surprised there's not been much if any mention of apples Jane.
Shes been declared for a bumper at naas on Saturday.
there is another elliott one in there and Swan has been declared on him.

Apples Jane a daughter of walk in the park out of apples jade.
Apples jade was a winner of the Mares hurdle at the festival, not as many times as the great quevega but last time walk in the park had a kid with a mares hurdle winner, went and won the bumper didn't he.

Apples jade was very good throughout her career but she was a very good 4yo, 2nd in the Triumph, but winning the Aintree and Punchestown equivalents.

Apples jane is 4, Gordon says she's in good form and they're looking forward to it.
33/1 nrnb @bet365
I've got a feeling this mare could be a good one.

"The son of Free Eagle won twice in three starts for Patrick Flynn in Ireland and the man who trained two Supreme Novices' Hurdle winners, including Montelado, called him the best he had been involved with."

Wow, some praise that !

Someone on Twitter said they'd seen her and she was very small as a yearling. Apples Jade wasn't big and Gordon said she's smaller than her. Hopefully she looks good - Elliott needs a few more good ones to come through.

Montelado brings back some good memories… my biggest winner at the time when he absolutely scooted clear in the Supreme. If the Pipe horse is better than him, he’ll win the bumper, especially in an average year.

I thought it was quite bold for sure. Basically saying how they are not bothered about the others. In 2020 he had Israel Champ and Panic Attack that nearly finished last and they were ante post favourites from memory ??

She's a 4yo mare so she's going to have to be EXCEPTIONAL to be on the boat across. NRNB takes a way the risk but it's still not overly generous and is based on her Mum and connections only.

Yep it seems to take a mid 170 calibre horse to win this as a 4yo ….mind you she’d only carry 3 stone 6 :welcoming:

 

[JackieMoon33]

One of the other decent UK candidates, Fortune De Mer, goes for team Skelton at Huntingdon tomorrow. He should be able to beat these even under a penalty.

One of my unraced stores to follow is also declared, Soldier Saint, for Henderson and ComplyOrDie will be interested in him too. I added him to some Supreme markets way back last year but that proved way off the mark.

Poor from both.

So if she did line up in the bumper, what price?
as you said she would have to be exceptional.
In a year of mediocre irish bumper horses

Can’t price her up before seeing her run.
At the moment she’s merely a famous daughter so the AP prices are based on that and nothing more.

Her not turning up is favourite versus her turning up.

Surely the price is generous then ? 33-1 NRNB.
It's either money back or a serious player at shorter surely.

I won't back cos I can;t be arsed but it's a bet to nothing surely.
The odds on her running and going off a bigger price are very big.

Over used surely then didn't I ? :highly_amused:

You did
but I agree with you, she's kind of a bet to nothing.

I don't think jackie likes me :excitement:
