Triumph Hurdle 2020

Hamptonfox said:
Goshen has a pronounced rounded action and the jockey confirmed soft ground as a preference. If the ground is soft at Cheltenham’s Trial Day at the end of January he could be interesting if he straightens up hi hurdling when going left handed.

For me as he has run down the hurdles to the right when running left handed, and ran straight when going right-handed, so I wouldn’t be looking at him for the Triumph.

I would agree with all of this, except I have backed him for the festival a couple of times.

Strangely I've just realised I know the owner, but only in a professional capacity, so somehow I need to worm my way in so if he does make it to the festival I can be there on Triumph day, well that's the plan, anyway.

Like your style COD. Big prices in the pocket, and a prep on trials day gives you a very good position.
 
No monteCristo.

The filly tombee du ciel entered up however.

Wouldnt read too much into the Monte Cristo absence the race was always going to be a bit touch and go for him.
 
The JP horse Gelboe De Chanay could be worth a look at in the 1.30 at Fontwell. Only having its second run but would want to win well to have a chance at the festival, is 25/1 for the triump atm with bet365 and 33s in most other places

Deffinately.
Awful race though. Would expect nothing but a bridle job.
 
One to defo try and add to the any race market. Being a filly with gypsy island out. Its somewhat possible that she could also run in the mares nov.

Fell at the last, would be better in a stronger run race too. But I wouldn't be rushing to back her for anything to put it nicely.

Couldn't agree with you more. Was expecting a much better showing
 
Been mentioned before, but as per my own thread, iv backed martin brassils Gaspard DU SEUIL, ( currently 50/1) He was an impressive winner on his debut in Nancy , before being snapped up by privately by the city island owners. Complete assumption but Hopefully he'll be out shortly after Christmas and with a bit of luck, can follow the steps of Défi, Eglantine and Taquin.

Yep, mentioned him a while ago, I'll look to re-add once an entry is made I think.
 
Monte Cristo will hopefully run in the finale at Chepstow if hes ready

Lack of experience would be a worry for a race like the Triumph but at that price you pay your money you take your chance. Good Luck
 
Last 5 winners had run 12, 6, 7, 5, 3 times prior to the race. Not saying it cant happen just saying with the profile of recent harden runners it would worry me. But at 50/1 then Im not going to crab it.

Fair enough, I think the Triumph will be a tough ask for horses without too much racecourse experience, especially against 100 rated flat horses etc.
 
Palladium looks interesting in the Juvenile race at Warwick, fair form from the flat
 
I'd argue Kangaroo Valley looks equally as interesting in the same race. Pity given the connections recent incidents, god knows what he'll be doing tomorrow.
