Fulke Walwyn KIM MUIR Challenge Cup Amateur Rider Handicap Chase

….Snowden says Git Maker is ground dependent and needs it soft.

Thanks for this one...iv come to the opinion on Snowden that he really doesnt want Git maker at the festival, i actually dont buy the ground excuse as he was being aimed at the scottish national for the whole of last season, imo its Snowden just getting the owners to Uttoxeter.

….he does mention Midlands National in the same clip.
 
I backed Where it all began the other day at 50's. 4th in this last year coming in off a lower mark this year (can't remember how much lower) thought at 50's might have a squeeze or an ew place.

I like this one too - but am a bit worried the forecast decent ground will see him outpaced by some of the speedier types - proper stayer this boy.

Seems to be the case, so Patrick can ride Sa Majeste after all.

I'm not sure I get this Johnnywho hype that seems to be doing the rounds on Twitter after these entries.

Twice round Cheltenham, well beat once and beat enough the other, three times tried over 3m, well beat twice and an OK effort in a decent enough handicap hurdle race at Aintree.

I actually prefer his stablemate, Hasthing, but nothing seems to have been made of him, yet.

You not think sa majeste goes NHC now? He’s entered.

Maybe. Wouldn't be 100% confident of his actual target, I'm just thinking it gives Patrick a proper chance in the Kim Muir now.

Isn't the Kim Muir the one he is targeting so he has won allthe amateurs races?

I know it's the one amateur race he's yet to win, so possibly, yeah, although I think he'll take any race tbh.

I think it was that Paddy Power Rewind thing he did recently he said he would love to win this to make it the complete set and be only the third jockey (I think) to do it.
 
Johnnywho smashed in as expected.
 
I backed johnnywho ages ago but I have little faith in the trainer to actually land the plot

10+ years ago, I'd have had him as a positive but not so sure now. I suppose he did land one with the mighty Sky Pirate four years ago.

I think the stable has improved a ton this season. His son must have shaken a few things up there.

I can't be having Jonnywho either though regardless of trainer. I just don't see him being good enough to be a plot job. I don't think there are any secrets or a bit up the sleeve with him.
