    Let’s hope all the drains stay intact unlike Cheltenham 😃

    Backing Venetia Williams' Chasers In November with Andrew Mount

    Unfortunately Venetia’s woes continue with The Famous Five last at Plumpton today, albeit he lasted further into the race than most of hers recently. Hopes that the good run of LHP on Saturday were a sign of a corner being turned look a bit forlorn

    Hi

    Viking Flagship is also the reason for my handle on here and it’s great to virtually meet another follower of the great horse. The 1994 QM when he out battled Deep Sensation (not very hard) and Travado after looking beaten from 2 out remains my favourite race

    Cheltenham Trials Day- Saturday

    Agreed and I was a bit surprised to hear Harry say that. I didn’t see who he made the remark to - it may have been a journalist but it struck me as an odd thing to say before he had the chance to speak to his brother

    Cheltenham Trials Day- Saturday

    I think the Skeltons clearly believe he will stay and Dan immediately ruled out the Ryanair in the paddock. I was there yesterday and overheard Harry saying on the walkway as they were coming in that he hit the line hard and that’s what mattered today. It was the bad mistake at the second last...

    Novice & Maiden Hurdlers 2025-2026 - Who Might Step Up?

    Surely El Cairos should be making this list or is it just another example of lazy journalism from our trade newspaper https://www.racingpost.com/news/britain/ranked-the-ten-best-novice-hurdlers-weve-seen-this-season-on-the-day-entries-are-made-for-the-cheltenham-festival-aFC9s8G8D8Aa/ Edit...

    Good luck with this fella. He was treated for post-race heat stress after last time so we’re hopeful of a better showing if fully recovered

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    Followed you in on these two. Also giving another chance to Torneo in the 1.50 at Windsor. Never put in the race last time and is capable of better. Also gone for Matata who wasn’t stopping last time with today’s slightly longer distance likely to be OK for him on this course

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    Well done with Top Target. Completely blew the race apart didn’t he? I guess one or two of the jockeys on the ones that raced in rear were thinking the front two had gone too fast and would come back but they didn’t and nothing else got into it

    The 2026 Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle

    I’ve followed King of the Lake since he dotted up at Wincanton last February- except last time out at Chepstow (when I thought he had no chance 😡) and have to have a little bit each way (6 places) today. I fear todays race may come too soon after his efforts there however French Ship may be...

    The 2026 Longshot Thread

    1.45 Naas Letos looks overpriced at 33/1 with Bet365. Travelled strongly at Carlisle but didn’t get home. The Mullins pair and Elliott’s three may be a different class but I’m happy to take a chance at the price
