Kim Muir 2019

Rory Delargy mentions a horse for this in the latest FFP with a very interesting back story. Well worth a listen if you haven't heard it.

Did you back it though.

I thought it'd be a WILD price, and it isn't.

I didn't Kev but loved the thinking and discussion.

*The Mrs has listened to it this afternoon though, and she's backed him at 25's.
 
Yeah was interesting for sure. I haven't read the KB article yet (on how trainers and weights are not consistant) Will do that shortly.

Too much time reading every post on here :highly_amused:
 
....Kevin Blake’s ante-Post selection for this is a strange one, Measureofmydreams. 25-1 nrnb worthy of consideration given Elliott can get a fragile one back.

was also tipped by Johnny Ward yesterday.
 
GE:
Measureofmydreams has good chance in Kim Muir. Bit short now though. Jumping has let him down in the past.
Its All Guessworks runs as well. IF jumped round he's have a chance but lacks a bit of experience.
Jamie Codd and Barry O'neill respectively
 
Measureofmydreams and Sire Du Berlais. Apparently neither can be beaten. Everyone doubling them up then?
 
Will DOC be on Squouatuer? If so can he win this?
 
The ride, Measureofmydreams got last time was certainly an eye catcher. Even allowing for his lengthy absence

He's my only bet in the race, but his price is getting slightly ridiculous now... He has only run once in the last two years and has lost his last 8 starts.

He hasn't actually won a race since Feb 216!

I think that horse is gone at the game.

No comment didnt get home in 4 miler last year but he does know him.

Ben Haslam will need to be a miracle worker to get him to win. If DoC is on a McManus horse then it's more likely to be No Comment.

However, I have taken a punt on Kilfilum Cross as DoC came over to ride him in February and he won nicely at Ludlow. He jumped left a bit so will be suited to Cheltenham and he has very few miles on the clock so should have improvement in him. I've no idea if DoC will ride him again or whether he has an agreement to ride for McManus or not.

I've helped myself to a 'preview' ew yankee with those 2 and Dallas des Pictons and Janika.
Also pressed the ew doubles...
