A heads up to all - I'm sure most of you won't have backed her for the Mares Hurdle but Marie's Rock will definitely be campaigned over 3 miles this year.

I've spoke to M Park this morning and will be putting a tweet up later this morning. Wanted to give FJ the heads up first in case you need to cash.

Cheers Dude. Only backed for the stayers but thanx.
 
Sir Gino/S.Mundi form being tested today at Auteuil at 4:00. 3rd that day Kador De Ciergues is out for the first time since. Looks a competitive enough race.

Another good race 1:33. Jigme up against the much improved Light Wave.

Jockey did hint at this the run before last which is why I wanted him covered for the BANC.

I like Ziggy but can't fathom him as a serious BANC contender. Had one go in a grade 1 hurdle and was pulled up. Had 4 chases already and will have put up a mid 150s RPR, which is decent but not outstanding and leaves him short. Ideally I'm wanting 160+ - 5 of the last 6 winners did, Gerri hit it on his 3rd chase start and The Real Whacker did so on his 2nd. I can't think of many summer campaigns for grade 1 chasers and can't help but feel that backing him for the BANC is a waste of chips :greedy_dollars:​

Agree with all of this. And surely when we see Ziggy at Cheltenham in October it will all but confirm NHC is the plan

According to Josh on LTR who does have contact with the yard that he is following the Galvin and Chemical Energy route.

I Like Ziggy has a touch of class, but think 3 miles is his optimum trip, and think he’s not crying out for any further.

Haven’t backed anything for NHC yet, but Nick Rockett would be my main fancy at the moment​

This was Jack's quote after winning on Ziggy the time before last.....

"He has a bit of class about him, isn't a slow horse and is effective anywhere from 2m4f up to three-miles."

Ahhh he just forgot to add 'six' on the end of that sentence. Gordy still loading up:topsy_turvy:

I thought i read Jigme had been retired?
 
Kador De Ciergues bolts up over at Auteuil just now, he was smashed 10L by Sir Gino and Mundi..

Well worth a point or 2 on Sir Gino I'd say.

WH moved Mundi into 14/1 from 20/1 but haven't touch Sir Gino which is interesting. Maybe they know something. I would of thought as they are the same owners they'd hold Mundi back for novice hurdling next year and use Sir Gino.

They moved Mundi into that after Jigme was beaten mate, wouldn't take any notice of it

Ah okay, wasn't sure on the timing as Jigme ran today and form was boosted today. I wonder if they even send Mundi down a bumper season.

Didn’t think the form line would work out that decent. Took a little RU on Sir Gino with Kador. Hope the chat about S.Mundi being held back have some merit :glee:
 
Can't wait to see Jhentong Enki tomorrow at Roscommon, opened 5/2 and early bits of money have him smashed into 6/5, I'd have thought he'd be a little bigger tomorrow but good to see them cracking on with him straight into a maiden hurdle instead of pissing around in bumpers. Doesn't look the strongest maiden to start off with so hopefully she shows the boot over 2m before progressing up in trip during the season.

Nicky Henderson very positive on Jeriko du Reponet in his HIT brochure:

"This looks something rather special and is a really stunning individual by a French sire that looks like he is going places.

"He had one run in a point-to-point with Wilson Dennison in the north of Ireland and was, by all accounts, extremely impressive showing a very good turn of foot and winning extremely easily.

"He has only just arrived, looks absolutely fabulous and I can only say that this does look like something you dream about and I only hope we can do him justice and that he is as good as he looks.

"I would imagine he would start straight over hurdles. He is only a four-year-old but he is a really fine, strong horse that looks pretty mature and I think he might be ready to go to war later in the autumn which is very exciting."​
