To Win 'Any Race' 2019

Anyone heard anything about Early Doors, seen he's 16s any race. I really like some of the form and his festival experience but not too sure where he would go, I see he's priced up for the Pertempts but hasn't ran a qualifier and isn't entered for the coming one, could he potentially return to the Martin Pipe do we think?

Yes martin pipe or coral cup.
He's 145 UK.

Slightly concerning(might he be injured?)he is not entered in Pertemps qualifier as he was in one at Huntingdon with Tigris River where they got their current uk marks(he is 145). Maybe Joseph has decided to stick to 2.5 miles at Cheltenham this year now he knows he can run in coral or m pipe off that mark? V interesting whatever race he runs in, if all is ok.

They entered him they saw his mark of 145 and put him away.

You wouldn't bother running him in the qualifier when you seen he's well treated and would get in the martin pipe.

I think you’re right Scoobs, but without knowing the connections, I have no idea if the pertemps was ever the plan or not. Hence the slight doubt. I agree he is competitively handicapped, but he did get beaten last year off a lower mark. My thoughts were that stepping up in trip might bring about some improvement.

Blow by blow had won at half way and was gifted the race.

He's a year older and stronger. He jumps better. The experiance of the races he's ran in this season is invaluable. He's been running amongst highly rated horses. And for all that he's up a couple of pounds.

He's deffinately well in.
