Haha, I think that's a great name :triumphant:

I wouldn't if he wasn't out of the same Dam, but at least he's closely related to The New One.


Let's hope he's of similar ability.

You can discount Olly Murphy’s Gunsight Ridge anyway, fur coat no knickers type!

Edit: re the champion bumper

33-1 kick in the nuts :highly_amused:

Best random tip I ever received was at a preview night in London in 2013 that had Dan Skelton on the line up, in his last season with Paul Nicholls. In the Q&A section a guy asked the panel for their thoughts on Salubrious in the Martin Pipe as he was very sweet on him. After a positive smile from Dan we were straight into Coral with our free bet £5 from the night and then ploughed into it on course (although you'd get taken away in a straight jacket if you had any real confidence considering how Nicholls' week had gone).
Absolutely romped home and if we ever find the guy that gave us the tip he'll get a free night on us in Eroticats :highly_amused:
 
I thought Wholestone performed well yesterday. Whilst I don’t think he will be good enough to win an RSA I think he has a decent chance of a place. I got him at 44’s with Hills and think it’s still a bet that’s got hope. He never seems to power up the hill but likewise doesn’t slow up so happy to stick with the odds and hope he stays over fences this season and the race potentially falls apart in the nicest possible way
 
very early days.
but pertemps qualifier.
Tobefair, what a horse.
But if given 4 or 5 lbs.
Rebecca (fox) Curtis sunset showdown, if campaigned well enough, could be a player in the pertemps come spring time.
 
Slate House very impressive today.

Provided Colin doesn't screw him up any thoughts on an early target for him?

Obviously well treated.
Colin will probably try another handicap or two so cheltenham will be tricky.
Might get 12lbs for that today.

maybe take the result with a pinch of salt today because of the ground? Impressive nonetheless but I'd wanting to watch his next race on nice ground before adding him
 
already backed for betvictor in November and rightly so.
 
The Henderson bumper winner looked really good yesterday. As a four year old in that ground, he stayed really nicely.
Very early for a bumper selection but it won really well in what could turn out to be a decent race.
pretty sure Fergal's horse is well thought of and the twiston's must like theirs, giving it that name.

I'd be even more interested if they go hurdling this season now.

anyone got any comments from connections etc ?
 
Burning Ambition running in handicap today under rules.
Think that rules him out of the Foxhunters doesn't it ??
can't remember the rules off top of my head.

Sure someone on here was keen on him, and thought that he'd been given an educating ride in the race this year ?
can't remember who

I was on him big at nice prices in 2018. Didn’t run in it this year as far as I can remember. Should’ve won at Aintree.

I’d be suprised if he won this year as he travelled like the winner in 2018 and came there cruising but seemed to hate the stiff finish of the Cheltenham hill.

I've missed a year out by looks of it :highly_amused:
 
And it was stand up and fight I was thinking of :highly_amused:

other than that it was mostly correct :highly_amused:
 
Have I had my head up my Aris and missed something regarding riding arrangements for Gigginstown? Is Davy off the roster again?
