Absolutely suicidal pace it seems right there.. would love to see the sectionals.
 
I think we are in danger of over hyping GEs arsenal. They all seem pretty average so far

Lats year has worried me about Gordon. He's usually the target trainer par excellence. But last year he turned up mob handed, presumably keen to make a point and it didn't really work. He's got a huge string again this year and I know he has to expand to try and take on Mullins but it feels like he's getting away from what made him so successful

Are there too many of Gordon’s getting beat to start questioning stable form rather than quality?

I’m personally not a fan of blindly backing his Down Royal entries but this starting to be too bad to be true.
 
The word legend is often overused

But frodon is a proper legend of a horse

didnt have a penny on but cheered him home like I'd had the mortgage on him

PN's horses are in sensational form....... making hay
 
just mentioned on itv that the cross country handicap from movember meeting to be ran in January on trials day.
makes it a little more interesting.
 
Don’t have a Bumper thread yet but Man At Work has won today over hurdles. He was 3rd in his point when he fell at the last. Winner of that point was Barry the Butcher by 10 lengths with Croke Park 10 lengths back in second. Another good form boost for Barry the Butcher
 
Surely Willie has something better than that (King Of Kingsfield) sat at home
 
King of Kingsfield traveled pretty strongly throughout that, overall a nice debut but doesn't scream Champion Bumper winner.
 
Willie will be laughing away after seeing that anyway
 
He doesn't look as good as some of the others Elliott has unleashed in this
 
Doubt KoK's RPR will be in the mid 120's for that, improvement sure to come but if you haven't already got at 20's plus then I'd happily let him go and look elsewhere..
