Agree completely. She's already beaten BDA fair and square pulling away at the finish in the MNH so why not again?

what? the mares novice hurdle is over a completely different trip and that race was run at a crawl. Yes... fair in that they both had to deal with said conditions, but that race has no bearing on future meetings between the two.
 
The price differential is ridiculous IMO, as who is to say that GA hasnt also improved since last year?……and there is a chance within the 6/4 BDA for the Mares that BDA runs in the CH if she beats, or runs very close to State Man, whilst GA runs in the Mares 100% surely

Sold it to myself even more, so gonna shove some more on forthwith! :cheerful:

Diva Luna is back out over the next few days . Her price of 25/1 is even more ridiculous. I'll be doing the EW double on her and GA.......win odds are around 390/1

It’s a form line so needs to be considered IMO

Same track and only 3f further in the Mares, which will help some and not others

GC won the race fair and square last year IMO, so the BDA price is based upon the race this year being run at a searching pace to ensure it is a true test and her early season form beating State Man

My view is that a searching test may suit GA as well in order for her to come off the pace, as she clearly stays 2 1/2 miles

The games all about opinions and mine is that the price differential is much to large, especially as BDA may not even run in the Mares

14/1 =Steal of the Century ! :barbershop_quartet_member:
 
Going off her run at Ascot I thought her stamina credentials looked somewhat exposed. Lucky Place who she'd previously toughed it out against had a slight weight pull and she was put in her place. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe she needed it, but the same could be said for Lucky Place.

The price could look alright if both Lossie and BDA head for the CH I guess.

She definitely needed it. Had muscle issues which put her back and only just came back before the Ascot race so she was short. Came there swinging but understandably blew up as opposed to any stamina issues. She's already win over the MH distance at Cheltenham so not a problem there.
 
I think a why not would be beating State Man fair and square.
BDA is underrated on here it seems imo
Looks highly improved.

11/4 tomorrow is a big price for her especially with Giggingstown sticking KOK in the race to make the pace instead of her. They mean business.
 
That Relkeel actually looks an interesting little race. Wouldn't have it as anyone's to lose tbh. But something could easily emerge from it of interest. Mares or Stayers.
 
Henry interviewed before the Savills and was asked about Monty's Star running at Tramore. I'm paraphrasing but said he was hopeful he'll run. Didn't exactly sound like a ringing endorsement of him taking part.

Hoping I'm just reading too much into it.

High Class Hero declared at Punchestown. Townend on board. Loughglynn and Shannon Royale also declared.

Saint Lucie in the juvenile with Townend on board.

The Mares bumper has got a wide margin PTP winner for Mullins against 2 stores of Elliott.

Looking forward to seeing her.

She's by a sire who Willie does really well with although her French form is looking bang average at best.

Backed her at big prices, so I'm glad she's been declared.
 
Keops Des Bordes goes for the 4yo P2P list in the bumper at Warwick on NYE. He beat another Skelton inmate, Fortune De Mer by 5L in his point and he's been out and won a listed bumper at Cheltenham already. Keops Des Bordes is probably not as sharp as him but I'd still expect a decent performance and be up to winning a bumper. He'll be the long term project and may not be pushed too much this season though.

I can't be the only one who had to read that several times to check the horse name...
 
Monty’s Star in at Tramore New Years Day, against a load of WPM Grade 2 horses (imo) and Crooner of Elliott’s, Indo in there as well for HDB.

Champ Keily in at Fairyhouse beginners, Drop A Threat in the bumper as well, Sounds Victorious in 2m4f maiden.

I'd say Shuffle the deck will go, leaving Kel to head to the moscow flyer :encouragement:
