Agree with you there, however that yesterday was a shocker even by his standards.

Mount Nelson gelding who progressed with each start in bumpers before shaping well on his hurdling bow when fifth of 9 in novice at Newbury (20.5f, heavy, 40/1) 22 days ago. Can step forward and make his presence felt.starstarstarstar
Gave the odds-on favourite something to think about 2nd @4/1 Pic Roc wasn't at the same level as HASTHING in bumpers, but he was a useful sort in that sphere and had made a satisfactory hurdling debut in what was likely a warm race at Newbury last month. Allowed the run of the race on this occasion, he briefly had the favourite in trouble after two out and would have taken a bit more passing had he not lost valuable momentum when stumbling on landing over the last. He ought to have no problem winning something similar.RP

I like Heros tomorrow. I think the step down in trip and returning to a right handed track will both suit. Plus, the horse he narrowly beat at Taunton won a half decent race at Donny yesterday.
That's why he should be in a hcap.i agree with Euro he really is a p*ick.
Bit of a concern that he folded so tamely when the Nichols horse went by him at Aintree. That was 2m 4f same as today so not understanding the step down in trip comment
Still, happy to have taken 7/2 last night

No matter what I do I cannot get that fuckin woman's horses right. That was utter dogshit today. Yes he folded at Aintree but he jumped to the right on a number of occasions and I thought Wincanton would suit much better. I honestly think I should just avoid Venetia's charges.

You & me both. I can’t remember backing a Venetia winner since LHP won the RSA.
Maybe they held him up today realising he didn’t get home at Aintree but that clearly didn’t work out. The horse never looked happy to my untrained eye and one to avoid at 2.5 miles

MISTER POLICEMAN 3rd 8/15f - Mister Policeman had the scope for improvement from his winning chase debut at Fairyhouse but it just didn't materialise. He jumped safely without having a cut at his fences and he was behind the 8-ball from some way out. He kept on fairly well, but he clearly is not a 2-miler over fences.RP
COCO MADEMOISELLE 2nd 1/3f - Coco Mademoiselle got outstayed but lost little in defeat in trying to concede weight to the winner. She remains with potential.RP
HEROS 3rd 11/4 - Heros, who'd tasted defeat for the first time over fences at Aintree last time, usually makes the running, so it was a surprise to him adopt hold-up tactics. He never looked particularly happy and a rally turning in proved only a brief one.RP

I liked the way he stayed on at Leop. Obviously chances are today is not the day although I'm not convinced at all by Blood Destiny. Basically beat a handicapper first time up with a silly age allowance thrown in.

Physically imposing sort who was unbeaten in 2 bumper runs and maintained 100% record despite the race not being run to suit when landing 11-runner Aintree maiden hurdle (20f) on return in October. Drop to 2m against him at Ascot and he remains one to be positive about. starstarstarstar
WON 4/1F - INTHEWATERSIDE was among the least exposed and looked well treated on bumper form for this handicap debut. Having been keen to get on with it he settled well in front, and he still hadn't been asked for his effort when the runner-up came to him at the last with what looked a winning run. To his credit he found plenty when challenged, and the chances are he is a lot better than this bare mark. He's a horse with a future, particularly over fences.RP

WON 6/1 - JPR ONE, who had run well in a Grade 1 at Sandown since his unfortunate last-fence mishap at Cheltenham, was a good winner here and looked value for more as he appeared to idle on the run-in after getting the better of the runner-up going to the last, the pair having dominated over the last three fences.

EL ELEFANTE Last 11/1 - set just a steady gallop before being outpaced by talented rivals up the home straight. She needs softer ground to be seen to best effect
JERIKO DU REPONET WON 4/6f - had to fight much harder on this step up in class. He wasn't impressive, but would have preferred a stronger gallop to aim at and, to be fair, he was well on top at the finish. His jumping wasn't the best on occasions but it held up when it was needed and he left the distinct impression he wasn't seen to best effect on ground which may have been quick enough for him. What he did prove was his willingness to battle and that will stand him in good stead in the Supreme at Cheltenham. He was pushed out to a generous-looking 8-1 in places for the opener at the Festival in which the same owner's Mystical Power is the favourite at around 7-2.
JOHNNYWHO 4th 11/2 - was below the form he showed when fourth to Cptain Teague in the Grade 1 Challow Hurdle, another who was caught out when they really got racing
JONBON 2nd 1/4f - had twice beaten Edwardstone this season, including when winning the Tingle Creek last time, but that one did little for the form at Kempton last time and he never looked happy in this, his jumping lacking any sort of fluency, with the mistake he made four out one that would have put a lesser horse on the floor. Although deserving credit for getting himself back in it, he ended up having a hard race with no reward, a far from ideal prep with the Champion Chase in mind, and it was no surprise to see him pushed out in the betting for the two-mile chasing showpiece.

Fairly useful winner over hurdles and built on an encouraging start in this sphere when getting off the mark at Wetherby in November. Backed it up with a solid third over C&D, though was badly let down by jumping at Haydock since. starstarstar
JERIKO DU REPONET WON 4/6f - had to fight much harder on this step up in class. He wasn't impressive, but would have preferred a stronger gallop to aim at and, to be fair, he was well on top at the finish. His jumping wasn't the best on occasions but it held up when it was needed and he left the distinct impression he wasn't seen to best effect on ground which may have been quick enough for him. What he did prove was his willingness to battle and that will stand him in good stead in the Supreme at Cheltenham. He was pushed out to a generous-looking 8-1 in places for the opener at the Festival in which the same owner's Mystical Power is the favourite at around 7-2.

Hurricane Highway declared for a decent handicap at Exeter on Wednesday. Evan has booked Cobden and he's 13/2 first show. Yummy

Point winner who tasted success on second of 3 starts over hurdles. Unseated on return/chase debut in November and looked unlucky not to win (all but came down 4 out) when finishing third at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) next time. Remains open to improvement in this sphere.starstarstarstar
2nd 100/30 - Hurricane Highway, who'd surpassed his hurdles best when third over fences at Chepstow last month, ran another solid race in defeat, despite a notable error at the third-last not aiding his cause. He looks a strong stayer and he could develop into a marathon type.
Running Balance -39
