Willie has scratched IEP, C'est Ta Chance, and Mistergif today. All were potential rides for JJ Slevin. Unless I'm missing something, that leaves Jasmin De Vaux as the only double green horse in any novice hurdle or novice chase ... and he could well be Paul's pick. Historically, the double green have liked to run something in most races. This seems a slight change of tack and leaves JJ with little to ride for them as stable jockey.

That's the kind of nugget I love

Fully bought in to Paul on Jasmin now

Not sure whether it's been previously discussed but does anyone know what's happening with Readin Tommy Wrong?
 
Are we expecting lower rated horses being able to get into the open handicaps now that novices require 5 runs prior to entries?

JamieSensible has asked if someone can post the Nicholls and Skelton stable tours, could be posted into the stable tour thread. Can anyone help him out?

I think the response sort of suggests the feeling to those two chances of having a good Fez this year .. .more so PN
 
Emmett Mullins saying that Mclaurey has done his winning over 2m so will probably stay there for the County, but will obviously be given the MP entry

Skelton isnt a mug. He wants to be champion trainer. I thinks he knows he gotta go for the Ryanair and handicaps.

I'm loving Protektorat chances. Dan keeping a low profile about him with all the talk being about F2F but you get the feeling he's quietly confident. His Windsor win was a stunning performance and has obviously been franked since.

Yep, he keeps mentioning he may need a step up. I suspect the ground conditions will determine where he ends up.

Quotes there from the preview evening.

Some interesting bits from Cobden - sounds keen on Golden Ace if she turns up over 2m (presumably the County). Says Lulamba is a penalty kick. Jubilee Alpha his best chance of the week (poor bloke).
​​​​​​
 
Will this be the preview evening thread going forward? or there going to be a dedicated on soon ?

Golden Ace taking on Burdett Road in Kingwell over 2m on Saturday so no way they'll go County if she wins that.

Only race for her I would have thought?
I suppose she could try for a bit of prize money in the CH.
Her form this season ain’t much, but she’s probably better at 2m.

If she beats Burdett Road in the Kingwell then she'll deserve a crack at the CH as that one ran well in the Xmas Hurdle behind CH and Lossiemouth. She'd get walloped with weight as well which would put her too high for any of the Handicaps. She'll need to step up on what she's done so far but she only had her very first hurdle race in January last season and then rattled off 4 wins so she may be a Mare that comes to herself in the Spring. She's in very good form at home by all accounts.

Step up a lot as she’s rated 144, which is a long way off.
If she’s considered to have too much weight than I can see the possibility of the CH for some cash for the owners as it’s going to be a small field I suspect.
If a couple of the fancied runners don’t make it she then has a place chance I guess.

Actually, thinking about it…..If the front two or at maybe one of them don’t run in the Mares, she’s could be better off there. I know she probably would prefer it to be shorter, but it’s her level and might be more her race?

An interesting little race as well Saturday which will be a small test of the CH/Lossiemouth form as well with Burdett running. BR on 150 so beat him and she be bumped up.
