Interesting I have him down for wanting a step up. And will improve for it. I could be wrong.

Seventh run of the season, all over 2m, I’m not sure it’s that interesting.
 
Gigginstown don’t mind moving horses around in trip, and 3 mile winners aren’t neglected in the roster of winners in this race.

I think he's ran him every time at 2 to get his mark. Then step up with that mark. And therefore have improvement in him.


"I'd say he's improving the whole time. I like the way he quickened from the home turn,” reflected Elliott in the aftermath.

“Jack made plenty of use of him as he stays well. I'm very happy with him.

“I think he'd even be better over further as he wouldn't have to force it as much"
 
Certainly not been campaigned the same way as Gordon’s other fancied horses for this race over the years. Noble Endeavor, The Storyteller, Flawless Escape and Blow By Blow all ran over the trip or further during the season.
 
Added Betameche to the market with 365 & taken 25/1

His current OR is 124 what is a good estimated mark to make the cut for this race generally lads?

136 was the cut off last year I think
 
I know a few of us on here are hoping the jonjos run Tedham here
I think he needs to go up a few pounds to be sure of getting in
He will need an entry soon
Unless they fancy the imperial cup bonus
 
Nick Gifford will look to step Didtheyleaveuoutto up in trip on his next start after earmarking two potential options at the Cheltenham Festival.

The Findon handler is considering running the JP McManus-owned six-year-old in either the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle over an extended two and a half miles or the Coral Cup, after he failed to feature in the Betfair Hurdle at Ascot on Saturday.

Gifford said: "I think the fallout from Saturday was that he answered a few questions.

"I had a few niggling doubts about him over two miles and he has shown he is not quite good enough in that grade over that trip and he now wants stepping up.

"He got away with it in his bumpers and his first two novice hurdles over two miles, but at the next level up he is clearly not quite up to it.

"I should think JP and his team will have a plan. The Martin Pipe looks an obvious race or there is the Coral Cup. I think he would slot nicely into one of those handicaps."

I quite like him for a handicap. Where would you prefer him Innoko?

Shock horror he’s stepping up in trip. Only 3 races too late :highly_amused:
 
No Tedham
Been a bad few days for me
 
Anyone have any thoughts on Early Doors for this?
 
Anyone clever enough to work out/guess the jockeys for the principals in this
Realize it could be difficult with the new rules ruling out the better jockeys
