i think the irish trials are stronger than what Con Hill has beaten in his 2 starts this season but it's very likely not going to matter one bit, furthermore the Supreme win is probably going to be the number one piece of form going into it.

Ferny Hollow out for season

she regressed a bit last year and was nobody good enough to take advantage imo. worth noting she beat teahuppo by 33l at cheltenham and 25l at punchestown though. i realise its different distance and conditions today but that's a hell of a form turnaround to suggest at least some regression...

regression. it comes for everyone in the end.

took him at 11/8, the reasons he's gone out to this price are obvious and presents plenty of risk, but if he's anything near the horse than won at sandown and ascot last year he should win

definitely Douvan and Faugheen had the same kind of feel before they got bad injuries Along with Constitution Hill I'd say Galopin des Champs has a similar excitement factor to him. but yeah Hendo has had an incredible run of being sent elite racehorses

he looks incredibly special doesn't he

they'd sooner retire her if she doesn't seem the same. it'll be champion hurdle or out to grass.

11s on the machine isn't bad but i suspect the record of horses running in their 3rd gold cup that aren't named Kauto Star isn't too great. alluded to as much on another thread before today's run.

:whistle:

they had 41mm since then...... tbf henderson is getting stick because he has form for this but he's not alone today is he. between the number of runners and the stuff coming out of alan king's camp itv racing should be asking different questions. ascot seems unfit for purpose for jumps racing...

made me laugh during his interview yesterday where he said the ground was beautiful that day. how can one dry overnight in mild temps make it unsuitable for a run?

willie and one of the other mullins lot (think it was patrick) gave a pretty positive report on him pre season not sure if that's worth anything though

the winning distance is more what i was sceptical about. but yes i think it speaks pretty well for Jonbon that he went hammer & tongues at it with Dysart Dynamo and still saw off Kilcruit at the end, who is a fair horse himself, for 2nd spot. i think if the runner up runs a more sensible race...

not sure it's a head to head between CH and Honeysuckle. willie has a couple of interesting ones for a start. if the mare can do it for a 3rd time i'd be pretty surprised tbh. purely as she must be due some regression at this stage of her career. i bet CH back in March as i suspect he'll have...

yeah don't really get the APT comparison. i know the argument is going to be he's far more proven etc but so will his competitors. gold cup obviously much more likely to be a deeper race and it's bloody hard to win 2 of them. and it'll be his 3rd go around. i don't think for a minute he should...

people slating bookmakers for antepost being dead and Jonbon's price being an example of that miss the reason why really. especially when you have a well known Racing Post tipster saying similar on twitter and comparing it to Sprinter Sacre's price after his first chase run 11 years ago. he's...

not saying he should be thrown in as the fave or anything. just that mullins said that's probably the target post race.

another to throw into the Champion Hurdle mix for next March

hopefully she has her chance next year and they both meet in good form and health
