I assume Gavin Lynch put up Dinoblue in the Mares Chase today. Blue across the board. His twitter suggested he'd be recommending a horse who is the highest rated in the market.

Dodgy jumper and unlikely stayer

Not one I'd be putting up

Maskada beat her by 7 lengths giving her 2lb in the grand annual

Should be plenty of movement in that market with the mares chase at clonmel on Thursday and mares begginers chase at gowran

Yeah, nortonscoin200 is currently suffering a two month holiday in the 30 degree heat of Greece, drinking beer and eating locally caught seafood while lying on a beach, so the consensus is 365 have cottoned onto his location.

ps - he was looking for sympathy yesterday, I won't share my response....

Fuck. Some peeps have a hard life :highly_amused:
 
Upping The Ante chaps are putting a team of 10 horses together each between now and the festival, no pick for JD this week but was tempted by Facile Vega for the Arkle. DJ picks Corbetts Cross for the BANC.

They've picked 72 horses between them in last two Festivals. Gavin Lynch picked 2 winners in 2022 (Week 6 - Elimay - Mares Chase @ 8/1 and Week 13 - Flooring Porter - Stayers Hurdle @ 4/1, Johnny Dineen picked 1 winner in 2023 (​Week 18 - Corach Rambler - Ultima @10/1) and David Jennings is 0/36 over 2022 and 2023. Let them entertain you but be cautious about following them in on anything. Just saying. ​

Love Envoi gets a surprise entry for Fighting Fifth.
Click to expand...


Her 2m/2m1f form reads:

111

Her 2m3f+ form reads:

11112126


Unbeaten at the trip, not that surprising is it?


Infact Constitution Hill is getting beat isn't he.... no horse can give 7lbs to Love Envoi :indecisiveness: :glee:
 
:glee::glee:

I was just surprised as they were targeting a comeback in the New Year following her injury (still expecting that personally) so she's clearly made very good progress.

Of course, if she does take up the entry she will put Constitution Hill to the sword and prove that Honeysuckle would have had the beating of him....:barbershop_quartet_member:

She might have a chance if the hill had 3 jockeys on his back

If her RPRs are anything to go by, last season after cheltenham she improved 10lbs between her cheltenham run and her last of the season, defo a horse on the up
 
Can someone do me a favour by asking Bet365 to add Qualmita to the Mares Novice Hurdle market. She was removed from the list and cash out is unavailable. Sometimes when the horse is added back the cash out becomes available again.

Thanks in advance.

I want to cash my Tullyhill bet and he's still in the betting :onthego:
 
I watched the G Annual again last night as this is the piece of form put forward by a few for Maksada's potential progression to G2 Mares Chase or even G1 Champion Chase season.
I'm sure Thyme White had her measure before coming down at the last, that one was giving the mare 5lb, would people be so bullish about her this season if she'd been picked up and went down by a length to a 147 rated horse of the same age ?
 
This “If and Buts” can go either way

im sure there are people out there who say Charbel may have beaten Altior in the arkle if he stayed up

The G Annual does produce a few horses that go on to improve by 10-15lbs. Question is, will Maksada improve that much as a 7-8 year old

Not sure she needs to improve by 7-8lbs on her Festival run.

Allegorie De Vassy and Maskada were both given the same 155rpr for their respective runs last March.

If Maskada could reproduce that form in the Mares Chase that could be enough.

If she could find another 3-5lbs that would make her very hard to beat.

Of course the same applies to ADV and Dinoblue (154rpr at Fez).

Those two have the advantage of being a year younger and likely to benefit more from extra experience.

But only one of the 3 is 25-1.

Does she need to? She's rated 151. Best rated horse in the market is 155. Colreevy got 158 for winning her edition of the race and she was superb. I'd say a 5lb improvement would see her win the race this year.
