She won a week ago for Paul Nichols

Elle Est Belle won today for Dan Skelton and got some quotes for the Champion Bumper post-race, though I haven’t seen a plan for hurdles or bumpers quoted yet.

Christ that truly is the definition of defensive, winning a mares bumper no matter how impressive. She could easily be kept to bumpers all year and even if she was to go over hurdles next you'd want her to have won one well to even get down to that quote.

The quote was on the wrong mare.

Elle Est Belle is 25/1 for the Champion Bumper after her win today.
 
Est Est Belle very impressive, would like to see her on a stiffer track next time to see how she copes with that before she goes in my book
 
Can anybody tell me anything about Carrigeen Lotus ??.
Won at Galway yesterday , Not sure if she'll get to cheltenham.
Or what plan's the trainer has - R.H.Lalor , and ridden by Miss E.A Lalor.
Thank's.
 
Interesting to see Queens Brook entered up again on Friday over 2m
She was no more than Workmanlike (Workwomanlike?!?) on hurdle debut, but was only "x"% fit according to Gordon :highly_amused:

I'm expecting (hoping for) a much better performance - to keep alive my hopes for March :hopelessness:

With Princess Zoe sticking to the flat, Gypsy Island injured ? and Queens Brook potentially needing 2 1/2 miles, Shewearsitwell continues to shorten up . As low as 5/1 in a few places now .

has anyone actually said gypsy island is injured again??
 
has anyone actually said gypsy island is injured again??

Plenty on here have said it and there is no sign of her. No entries, no mention from her stable. She was high profile so you'd expect some hint of her well being/target. All that would point towards her having an issue imo. I'd be worried if I were a backer.

Where has she shortened?

Best price 6's now. Shortened by a point in last week by most but 2 points by Ladbrokes/Corals 8's into 6's and Bet Victor 7's into 5's.
