market is heading the other way

1 from 2 today with 9/2 and 5/2 odds. and one of them backed in well enough to suggest it was a solid bet. will always take that.

yeah, not backed him myself but looking forward to the race so much it'd be a shame if any of the main 3-4 principles missed out

jonbon bit weak on exchange

7/4 into 6/5 and does the job. textbook.

agree with this. was the same when Annie Power won her big races, the allowance is there for a reason and using exceptional horses to try and make a point that it gives them some kind of unfair advantage is nonsense imo. if the allowance was so unfair why don't mares win loads more grade 1s?

omission of the 2nd last probably helped a few seconds but i dont think i need a clock to see this animal has an engine and plenty of boot given the hurdling errors i do think he'll go ballymore and should be clear fav

think he'd have a fair chance in either but ballymore seems obvious given how much weaker it looks. couple of iffy jumps there but it's clear there's a big engine under the bonnet.

happy to see that from Chacun, want as much juice as possible in the Shishkin price for the Queen Mum

galopin/honeysuckle/sir gerhard treble a good thing tomorrow?

think i'd go 1), and simply hope you are far enough ahead at the last for him to comeback. steady pace just means shishkin stalks and turns on the afterburners after the last and goes by, not convinced energumene simply outpaces him in a dash at the end

was out all day but managed to catch the race live on my phone thankfully. often these hyped up head 2 heads don't live up to it but this one did. shishkin really does seem like another altior. running style is almost identical and ability seems about the same.

interesting he's chosen this one for Energumene, obviously he wants to keep him and Chacun apart where he can but i'd be pretty sure the 2m chase at the DRF is more important to him, as the overall meeting is a big one for irish racing and in recent years he's fired plenty of his best bullets at...

i think if this was the showdown at cheltenham with them both having prep runs that went as expected i'd be seriously in shishkin's camp and something near evens would be snapped up. ascot in january, you'd imagine hendo hasn't got him at concert pitch just yet with the way he operates, he's...

also everyone should be considering the 30/1 on a shishkin queen mum/energumene ryanair double. id be even more strong on it if allaho wasn't there to defend the crown for mullins.

fair play to henderson, didnt think the old boy had it in him

don't think we learned too much really, not helped by several fences being omitted. obvious the engine is there and he's not short of a turn of foot.

not sure his betfair odds lean much either way, he goes off about 9/4ish if running and is being matched around the 11/4 mark now. so definitely some uncertainty but nothing clear yet.

https://twitter.com/RacingTV/status/1480117540252704768 i suspect the "can't promise he'll run" & "nico to have a sit on him at the end of this week" translates to "we'll see what the opposition is and decide" the market certainly doesnt trust him anyway
