Feel like the Jimmy today and festival bet deserved better.

Might have to take the 20s for the Stayers now :lol:

Nice to see Bob win again though

How is kopek 5/1 for the champion chase

Iv not had a single bet for next years festival

The prices are scandalous imo across the board

Youd think most of them were NRNB or something

Good old Bob. What a horse.
Jimmy the one to take out of the race for next season . Hope a few took the 33's.

Agree. Getting worse as each year passes.

If Wodhooh goes Stayers then ‘slam dunk’ JDG Mares hurdle winner 2027

Where else is there a 150 plus OR Mare coming from?

…..nasty looking fall for Kopek.

Watched his fall back again. Odd fall? Seemed to jump it ok but landed steep and his front legs just crumpled under him. Be interesting what Willie/PT say.

I'd say watch it again, on the front angle you can see he never got his front legs over, they went through the fence.
For such a superstar he needs to work on a few things before next season, that said Gaelic wasn't straight forward in his early days either so..

Surely only one place Soldier In Milan will head next season, imo of course, will be the Grand National.

He got a stone off the Irish handicapper, be surprised if he gets too much more of the English, especially if pissing about in Grade 1’s before Xmas.

Golden Ace. Will go Mares next year IMO.

Zanoosh will be interesting, 3m a step too far at Punch, but on a line through Charme De Faust she's clear of the MNH form. Heavily raced this year though

Galiways have gone 1, 1, 1, 2, 1 this week. On better ground and away from a fence they’re electric.

I’ve taken a swing at Kai Lung at 80/1 (4 places). Form isn’t really there at this level I think he’s a solid horse and hope he can run into a place. I’ve taken an ew punt on what is still G/Y ground.

Good shout, could be the each way play early doors @ 20/1, especially if they think they can’t beat Lossie over 2m next year

Normally though they go down in trip rather than up ie Annie, Lossie……although Honeysuckle did both!

Wodhooh maybe Stayers?
JDG maybe Mares Chase?
BDA maybe Mares Chase?
G1 potential novices look light this year

Golden Ace has beaten JDG and BDA (twice) at the festival, so even if they run youd hope she has a chance and at a price less than 20/1

 

[Lobos]

Pretty sure they said they should have gone for the Mares this year.
