Handicap Weights

Does anyone have info on how far down the list got in last year by any chance?
 
Dortmund Park has got some weight for the Martin Pipe got dropped 1lb from his Irish mark.
 
Is it just me or has Phil Smith been ridiculously kind to the Irish Raiders this year? Some leaving present to them!

Cheers for posting


Theinval is on a tasty mark imo for then Grand Annual
 
BOF,
anything catches your eye?

Just waking up Dr! My initial reaction is that it is good to see the following on their Irish marks:
De Plotting Shed (in particular)
Voix Du Reve (been campaigned over too far and dropped 2 pounds as a result)
Don't Touch It
Snow Falcon

I think Blow by Blow has been badly treated.
 
BOF,
What race do you have in mind for Snow Falcon?
TIA

Voix du reve MP interesting considering who rode it last time.

Slight preference for the Plate (v Ultima) but if JLT cuts up and Monalee goes RSA then could see him in JLT. Given the doubts over JLT runners (and Willoughby Court) I wonder if Meade will wait as long as possible which would mean he wouldn't be declaring him in the Ultima; he could then decide on Tuesday after the RSA declarations.
Any chance I am overthinking this? :)
 
Really think the Close Bros h'cap need a re-think.
39 horses within 6lb of each other at the top of the 'cap, more a conditions race than a 'cap
