    Hiya mate. To be honest, I think he'd improve for going over 3m+, given his breeding.

    The 2025 Coral Gold Cup (Handicap Chase)

    If it's Irish you want then my three, as posted on my blog, are Blizzard Of Oz, Gorgeous Tom and Monty's Star. Now, where are those paracetamol?

    It’s a grand day’s racing, for sure. A minefield, of course, but if I’m to be blown up, this is the way to go. The feature of the day, with apologies to the Fighting Fifth, is the Hennessey which is always a race guaranteed to throw up future winners; it’s a class act, isn’t it. It’s a race...

    The 2025 Coral Gold Cup (Handicap Chase)

    Well, five of his wins have come on Good and two on G/Sft so that fairly conclusive, wouldn't you say?

    The 2025 Coral Gold Cup (Handicap Chase)

    The going will be crucial if we listen to Henderson: 24th Nov Chelt 3m Good You'd be wanting the rain to stay away, wouldn't you.

    Another PS: Baby Sage (going nicely) bled and was pulled up. I'll be keeping my minces on this one.

    The 2025 Coral Gold Cup (Handicap Chase)

    Why not, I should say? There's nothing wrong with picking up a 150k prize on the way to bigger things. Yes, we don't know how Lecky will measure up against the older stayers but, whichever way you look at it, the Browns is a top class staying race. With that in mind, stepping into a handicap...

    The 2025 Coral Gold Cup (Handicap Chase)

    They could well have been protecting the mark. That 2nd to Lecky Watson was a right good show . It augured well for the future and he's bred to stay, isn't he. It's his first handicap and perhaps they knew the time of day after the Browns when he was allotted the 150. I think they do know what...

    John Durkan - 3pm Sun 23 November

    Yup. Going to the last, even though FTF came to challenge, it seemed clear that GW had not been asked to fully commit at that stage. Sure enough, he had enough in reserve. I do think that when a horse is asked to make up so much ground just to be able to challenge, it has an effect on any final...

    The ground went against him here. Although described as good, there was too much juice in it for this fellow, I think. Didn't really travel within himself did he. Well, didn't frame but no complaints; he looks to me like a proper stayer who wants soft ground. I'll be looking out for any type of...

    He's one of mine in the comp but I fear he made need softer ground. Good luck whatever. :thumbsup:

    If you can't enjoy the racing today, you need to find another sport; there are two great meetings and competitive racing for all tastes, hurdles or chases. As you'll know by now, chasing is my preference and I'm excited to see what transpires at Haydock, Ascot and, indeed, Huntingdon. If I was...

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    I did think that but I also thought that he's that decent they may go to Kempton for the Wayward Lad. I'm surprised that they're running him here, to be honest, and am still expecting him to be declared a nr. If they do prep him for a festival handicap by running him down the field, he'd be...

    Yes, I know Henderson has the 1/3 hotpot Lulamba (2.00 Exeter) but I was super impressed by Stencil's losing run at Cheltenham and if Stencil is not a nr, he'll be the Ew for me at 22/1.
