this week's entries

Davy Russell now jocked up on Music Drive in the 2m7 race on Saturday.

Jack Kennedy on Ash Tree Meadow on Saturday in the 3m novice chase with Davy on Chemical Energy. All a bit bizarre this...
 
If they take out Chemical on Saturday then that leaves just 4 in the race. Top 4 would qualify ATM for the NHC........pop round, finish 4th, qualify and also not mess HCP mark up. Simples. Great planning Gordon.

It's been run as badly
No positive direction.
No strong leadership
No plan

Add the drop in attendances, now (apart from a few big meetings), will they come back?

Im not convinced the growth of All Weather fixtures, which Arc dominate, makes it look much better than dog racing, at times.

Why are Arc into racing at all?
They seem to be the most in control of it, the media rights, levy and fixtures?

If this time racing doesnt get its big decisions right, then what happens next?

Doesn't mean he goes to the NHC, but this has been my thought throughout that the 3m Novice Chase (which he still may not run in) is the logical race choice this weekend. Have to say, I didn't expect it to possibly only be a 4 runner race though!

This part will be interesting as well if they aren't all intended runners.

DR has full enough book of rides on Friday including ATM.

JK has the full book of rides on Saturday - including being jocked up on Poseidon in the only race where Elliott only has one runner.

Not sure what it means, but just having it written down means I can back check it in the event of NRs to see if there's a possible pattern...
 
monmiral entered in 2m novice chase at Uttoxeter next Friday (28th)

Early season bravemansgame is a different beast to the horse in the spring

“He goes a bit light on you after Christmas so we have got to try keep him big and well into the spring."

That is from the Nicholls stable tour and likely explains the drop in his level in the new year both of the last two seasons

eldorado Allen 8/1 e/w would be the bet I reckon

I recall that being a real easy 8 lengths.

But at a price where you can have a very small double, so I'm in. :excitement:

Strange to start in a handicap with his hurdles mark imo. I see he's fav though.
 
Imagine entered in maiden hurdle over 2m 4f at Wexford on Sunday... Not even in the AB markets as far as I can see. 33s in supreme though, which would seem unlikely.
 
Deeply Superficial entered in a maiden hurdle at Galway on Sunday and been given a hefty trim by Bet365 for the MNH. Still 16s with Sky, 888 and Bet Victor
 
Path d'Oroux, a Gavin Cromwell recruit, is entered at Galway on Saturday over 2 miles and could be a fun one to follow this season.

I'd wait to see if he's declared first before thinking any other races..
