Foxhunters 2019

See Shantou Flyer goes off odds on fav again in the penultimate race at Kelso today, hoping he can keep his chances alive for this race
 
I’ve got Gilgamboa bet for this at 14/1 for some time but heard absolutely nothing about it, any guys heard any whispers about its plans or even well being

They're lucky they've found a soft hunters chase. He needs to finish in the 1st 3. Makes no difference if He wins,

So they shoudnt be giving him a hard race here at all,
Do as little as poss to get a 1st 3. then find a soft ptp somewhere shortly. Where he has to win to qualify.

Hoping to see Caid Du Berlais this next week or so, has a couple of potential entries, and is still very much overpriced IMO.

Im fairly certain he misses the race
 
Gutted, I took a fairly big position in the context of this being the fox hunters early on him at 14/1 and was fingers crossed they could squeeze a run in for hi

there's a shitload of soft hunter chasers coming up and from what ive seen in the past, the trainers will share them round accordingly.
if he stays sound and is in any sort of form then he'll have no trouble qualifying .
15 races scheduled in next two weeks from saturday.

Like a gentleman's agreement?

Would make sense
 
Has CDB qualified COD?

Good question, not entirely sure, have backed NRNB anyway, but Nicholls (despite him not being the registered trainer) has confirmed that the plan was for this race for CDB.

He's already qualified.
 
He gave shantou flyer a harder race than I wanted. But hopefully they find him an easy ptp within the next week.

I hope so. Was between that and the ultima when I asked the owner a while back.
 
Has anyone heard an update on Gilgamboa ?
As a strong suaf supporter I am hoping he won’t make it
However,as Barry o Neill seems to have the ride on ucello conti
That would appear to leave Jamie Codd with no mount in this
Which would be strange

There are loads of horses codd could ride.

Barry oneil is the champion ptp rider. He's every bit as good value as codd imo.

I have no problem with Barry o neill scooby
My point is that if gilgamboa does not line up,and it has to be a doubt
What will Codd ride ?
You say there are loads of horses he could ride
Looking at the betting I can’t see them
Apart from a few no hopers like Venetian de mai

He could pick up the ride on

Fennos storm
Hazel hill
Arctic skipper
Haymount
.......

They're all live chances.
 
Big test for ucello conti today. Sydney paget is a very good horse in this sphere. Hoping UC manages to stick on and just get the better of him.
The trip at chelt will suit UC down to the ground, does all his best work late. Really like his prospects here.
