Top Notch confirmed for here.

380's are looking unreal boopa, nice one.

The place part at 102.0 is fantastic, well done boopa.

Feel sick taking 22/1 ew tonight :(
 
I was happy with 10's for a place on the exchanges :highly_amused:

I looked at that at 10.0 and thought naaaaah :highly_amused:

Whoops.


I actually don't fancy him but I'm in too good a spot not to take the 22/1 now... can lay off if I need to
 
Value loser. Sounds like Bromley is calling the shots.
 
David Casey saying Ruby has ridden a few pieces of work on Faugheen - surely a clue in itself. Gordon Elliot also can’t have Paisley Park at all in this

The Faugheen hype in the Stayers is starting to remind me of Big Bucks final race the year More of That won. An old horse having one last stab at a grade 1 against a progressive younger horse that is a justifiable favourite from a successful season. I think it will pan out the same way and Faugheen will retire after finishing down the field to a successful Paisley Park.

Unfortunately Samcro will be missing this years Cheltenham Festival as we ran out of time but he has options at Aintree and Punchestown.
 
It wouldn’t be in my first 10 picks... but I’ve seen Petit Mouchoir mentioned a couple of times now in dispatches from Ireland both by O’Learys brother & Rachel Blackmore - anything it or smoke and mirrors?
 
Unfortunately we are going to have to skip Cheltenham with Samcro. He's in very good form and I am pleased with how he has been doing in his work over the last few weeks. However, Cheltenham is just going to come a week or two too soon. At the best of times you've got to be absolutely spot on for Cheltenham and while Samcro is in very good shape myself, Michael and Eddie [O'Leary] feel that the right thing to do by horse is to give him more time. There is every chance that Samcro could run again this season and there are a range of suitable races for him at those meetings so hopefully we will see him back in action next month. Looking further ahead we are looking forward to when he goes chasing in the autumn.

They haven't got many other options too high for handicaps too slow for CH.
 
Robbie Power absolutely SLAMMING Paisley Park :highly_amused:

Beaten West Approach twice to win his grade 1's who I've ridden and he's average - wouldn't be mapped in a Stayers Hurdle.

Did he mention who he did think would beat Paisley Park? Except for Penhill who is a non runner I can’t see anything beating him in the current market unless Apples Jade, BBD do turn up?? Any credible alternatives which don’t depend on PP having an off day

He obviously fancies supasundae who was all out to finish in front of Wholestone, colins sister, sam spinner, worlds end and yanworth and co. Off a slow pace.

Yes I would fancy Kilbricken Storm to beat Paisley Park. KS absolutely stuffed PP in the Albert Bartlett last year and I see no different outcome in this regardless of how the race pans out.

Dangerous to take the Albert Bartlett form last year literally though DonnyBoy?


You can't literally think they both ran to their best that day?
