Stable Tours

Not a stable tour but taken from interview with Tizzard -

LostInTranslation - aimed at gold cup

Native River - also gold cup bound all being well

Elegant Escape - straight to aintree

FiddleronTheroof - Marsh

The Big Breakaway - The most exciting horse he has, will start off at 2m4f

Master Debonair - hopefully champion hurdle

Not much else of interest, Thistlecrack will be going hurdling, hopefully for the stayers
 
Sounds like he wants to keep Fakir and Le Richebourg separate as he's stated LR stays at 2 miles.

Very possibly. Owners obviously have DDS as well. You could argue Fakir D'oudaries strongest piece of form last year was in the Drinmore so 25/1 seems fair for a Ryanair. Be fascinating to see where all 3 end up (touch wood) in March.

Read in conjunction with the Hobbs tour, you'd say that Defi Du Seuil is the alternative in both divisions but, if Joseph's two stay fit, he'll be back in the Champion Chase.

Id like to see him step up further to 3 miles. He finds loads off the bridle. Really hope I get to see DDS step up to 3 miles at some stage also. He just looks like one of them class horses that can win Grade 1s over 2 but would be better over further. Would go very close in The King George.
 
Might be reading it wrong but had an ambitious lucky 15

Le Richborough 33/1 QMCC
Forged in fire 25/1 Ballymore
Fire attack 50/1 supreme
Fakir d 25/1 RyanAir
 
Got it with william hill
 
Now into 3's !

Im hoping for a good run, to be fair i dont know much about it other then hobbs liked this race for thyme hill and hes mentioning this novice quite a bit so worth a go to me..my main bet tommorow is this one in a double with soaring glory! Who looks to have plenty of speed and although he was 2nd today id like to think truckers lodge has boosted the form in begind soaring glory a tad
 
Colin Tizzard trained Investment Manager runs tomorrow in the 5.07 at Chepstow. Not your typical Tizzard purchase, very much a flat pedigree. He noted in his stable tour that IM was going to be their bumper horse last season but for injury. Surely a chance to make amends this coming season?

Not yet added to the Champion Bumper market but we know Tizz knows how to get one ready for that race (Cue Card).
 
Reading the Henry De Bromhead stable tour I wonder if a Honeysuckle champion hurdle and Minella Melody mares hurdle e/w double might be on the cards.

I think Henry is quite famously bold in his targets. He definitely hinted he'd have gone CH last year too.

I do think the owner calls the shots there though ultimately...so it'll be interesting to see whether he still values the Mares programme as much now that he's already won the Mares Hurdle.


I have to admit, I'd be a bit frustrated if they did, after having the 40/1 price last year, however as usual, I'd always prefer the best races to have the best horses in so I would get over my frustration pretty quickly :highly_amused:
