Pertemps Final 2018

ADAM = Apologies for another question, but any idea if Ozzy the Oscar going for the Grand Annual ?.
good luck with Louis, looks potentially graded level to me so should go well.

Thought I'd replied to this mate, not looked at anything really just backed mine in bits and bats at 20s down, footpad has looked very good though, you?

Hi Adam,
Im very keen on Footpad, Monalee, and Supasundae. I'll be getting stuck into the handicaps soon. Ive been backing the 3 JP horses in your race(pertempts). Not sure they'll all get in but I'd be particularly keen on The Organist. If Tizzard puts Elegant Escape in the 4 miler I'd be very happy as well:devilish:
The very best with your horses.
 
Yep worries me that horse given an easy ride last time. Big fan of supasundae too
 
I've just covered off Sykes for this @ 40's with Betfair... Granted it's a risk as he might not run, but his form this term has been very strong and posted some good time figures.

I also like the fact he has some Cheltenham Experience coming 2nd in December to Arthurs Gift.

Would be keen to hear others opinions on this?
 
Eagle Lion drifting like a barge in the qualifier, but he's off 131. Surely he needs to win to get in? Otherwise he gives Phil Smith a chance to keep him out?
 
One on Saturday at Chepstow isn't there? Connectable looks like one that trying to sneak in at the bottom of the weights. Apologies for anyone that followed awake at midnight 2 days in a row 2 2nds ��
 
That's got Delta Work qualified and Hills have slightly bizarrely pushed him out to 33s. Thought he ran a pretty nice trial.

Who Dares Wins
Owner Henry Ponsonby said: "He was third in the Coral Cup last year, but I think he'll go for the Pertemps.

"Alan thinks he has improved since his layoff and he's very good when fresh.

"He's been placed in the Chester Cup, the Coral Cup, won the Cesarewitch Trial and then the ground was too quick in the Cesarewitch and it was a bit far.

"He's had just one run over hurdles when he qualified for the Pertemps, but he picked up a little injury.

"It looked like he was going to win, but then a bit of birch from the hurdle went up into his foot. He had to be operated on at the course to get it out, it must have been painful.

"We gave him his holiday thinking he was OK, but then it blew up and it got a bit infected, which is why he hasn't run.

"He's fine now and Alan says his work is of the highest quality, his only worry is going three miles without a prep run.

"The form of the Coral Cup could hardly have worked out any better."

The 33/1 with WH tempt anybody for this race? I knoew people have knocked Supasundae because of the Coral Cup form... owner has a different view?

I do like horses that have acted there before and I must say I am half tempted

Not one that i've looked at. I imagine the owner is purely taking out Supasundae from the race but I guess you can take some decent bits of form out of the Coral Cup last year - Modus, Old Guard and to a lesser extent Peregrine Run and Kalondra?

On the race today - I agree about Delta Work - pushed out to 33/1 by WH seems an odd move. I was mostly taken by Sort It Out though. Rated 135 going into this race. Put in some hot races at the start of the season over fences, it looked like they may have been trying to exploit a chase mark of 118 (compared to 135 over hurdles) but he reverted back over hurdles today and came 3rd.

Came second in the County Hurdle in 2015 (off 134) behind Wicklow Brave who bolted up. He then followed up at Punchestown (off 136). Struggled the following season on his higher mark (144-142) but that mark is now down to 135, 1lb higher than his County 2nd and 1lb lower than his Punchestown Festival win. Plenty of big field handicap experience and importantly course and festival form so you know that won't faze him.

Had his first go over 3 miles today and he looked to be given a clever ride. Made up plenty of ground at the end. I can't imagine his mark will change too much after today so should come into the festival not far off the same mark as the County run
 
I don't normally back a horse twice but couldn't resist backing Delta Work again. Unless they knew he was going elsewhere pushing him out to 33/1 looks a mistake.

My impression of today's race was either the jockey was hopeless or he had been told to just qualify. I don't think the slow pace or ground helped his cause at all. Given a nice weight, fast pace and hopefully a much quicker surface, I will be very disappointed if we don't see a significant improvement.

There is no reason for him to go elsewhere, otherwise why bother with the qualifier. Gigginstown no doubt have several possibles for the Martin Pipe and the Graded races.

The only downside would be the relatively short recovery time.

Are they just convinced he'll be going elsewhere? I know he's fancied in another race and is shorter for that as you say? Maybe WH just feel confident and want the money in the bank?
 
I was just looking at the Punchestown Qualifier last year to see what Elliott sent to it.

To my shock and awe not only did I see that they got Glenloe qualified last year. He was given a mark of 132 by Phil Smith and missed out by 5lb.

His Irish mark is up 7lb from last year from 127 to 134 meaning he should just get in this year with bottom weight.

You have to admire the patience of connections.

His UK OR is 137. I am sweating on this and I think Elliott is treading on thin ice. Henderson wants to get Protek Des Flos (137) up a few more lbs as he said he is too low to get in. I hope Elliott has something up his sleeve
 
The horse I am on at a nice price for this is The Organist
Put up by somebody else earlier in the thread
Should get in off a nice weight,currently 139
The Sherwood horses have hit form
Could be the JP plot horse here
