Bit of a random one as he’s not entered but I can’t find anything on Mick Jazz? Injured??

I believe so, think scooby mentioned this at some point this season.

Will there be any horses supplemented or switched to more suitable targets?

All the noises about BDD are positive.

[KingSprinterSacre]

No Charli parcs to front run upsides Apples

Pleased no Vision Des Flos :highly_amused:


and good man Willie, never in doubt Laurina would run here

 

[Innoko]

Now I'm officially excited!

So will Vision Des Flos go to the country hurdle? if he does must have a good chance...

Coral Cup my best guess

 

[Stormez]

Yeah I’d be surprised if it wasn’t the Coral Cup.

Racing Post side with the JP runner...

Apple's Jade has a lot going for her in receipt of 7lb but BUVEUR D'AIR can crown a wonderful career with his third win in the race



Apple's Jade Superb form over various trips and on different ground, including back at 2m latest


Brain Power Beaten long way in this in 2017 but looked in sparkling form back over hurdles here in Dec


Buveur D'Air Won the last 2 runnings of this; beaten only twice over hurdles; massive player back here


Espoir D'Allen Just one defeat in eight hurdle runs but his sights are raised considerably in this race


Global Citizen Haydock win latest over Silver Streak; others have stronger form claims


Laurina There's not been a mare to touch her as hurdler for yard; jumping could be weak link at 2m


Melon Forced Buveur d'Air to pull out the stops in this race last year; two tame efforts of late


Sharjah Faded on heavy in the Supreme; made great strides since; the less rain the better


Silver Streak Has been big improver but lots more needed than for 2nds to Brain Power and Global Citizen


Verdana Blue Everything in her favour when beating Buveur D'Air at Kempton; this test is much tougher

I wonder if the trainers will be kind enough to let us know if any of the mares are in season before the off...

surely one of the presenters will try ask that question to gordon pre race? Must be what most punters who are thinking about backing AJ will want to know..

Marbling - was discussed a while ago

7/4 without Apples is an interesting price on BDA...
