I don't imagine Julian Wilson would hold much fear for Piglet.

Screenshots of roughly the top 60 - likely to include the final field - on raw RPRs. No ORs listed for the Irish horses but it wouldn't be too hard to work out what they'll be rated for this so you can pretty close as dammit frame the handicap as things stand.

Very unlikely to happen these days, I reckon. Racegoers back then knew the score and knew when they'd been done over and there were fewer bigger doer-overs than Price. Not far behind him was Sutcliffe but I can at least console myself that I was on his Cala Mesquida (at 33/1, if memory...

Welcome, Dave.

I'm not sure something that made as many mistakes and consistently lost as much ground as he did in the IGN but was still disputing the lead at the last can be described as soft. A softie would have given up the ghost by halfway. He's just not a great jumper but I'd be disappointed if they...

It never entered my head to check for other engagements :sleep:

I reckon Mullins has sussed that a Gold Cup contender can win a National if it can get in off 10lbs below its level. Nick Rockett won off 163, currently 169, true level probably around 174/175. I Am Maximus won off 159 then second off 168, true level also probably around 174/175. So, could the...

Schweppes - Poet Laureate 50/1 Part sickness insurance (since I haven't studied the form) because I was on it last time when it bombed and part because I hugely respect Chris Gordon generally and because of his record in this race. I'm hoping I might get an hour or two on Thursday to check the...

Now I could really do with the longest priced of my three in the hcap hdle to win :ROFLMAO:

Were the first three in there??

Caught that race on TV. They didn't seem to be kicking up much on that chase course. Is Energumene gone? Are they eyeing up the Grand Annual with it?

I no longer watch these types of programmes but there was a talent programme about 20 years ago, Saturday evenings, I think. When it got to the later stages it was discussed on here and I happened to mention I’d felt from week 1 that Will Young was a league apart from everybody else even though...

I actually studied the two big handicaps today but did so without knowing owners, etc. Here are my short lists, in card order: 2.45 Blizzard Of Oz *Sa Majeste (hope they pronounce it right for once - 'Sa Ma-jhes-tay') *Win Some Lose Some *Waterford Whispers Backmersackme *Buachaillbocht...

Yes, his jumping gained eleven lengths on KC through the race.

I was a wee bit worried when Moon d'Orange raced prominently early since it is usually ridden from the back, a tactic I don't like at Musselburgh, but it seems not to have made any difference to the horse who continues to disappoint. My gut was telling me that JPR One was actually a fair bit...

I was the same and ended up taking a win-only to smaller stakes at 17/2 but I do want Teddy Blue to win. I'm just not sure if today is the day for it. The one I don't want to win is Tommy's Oscar. I saw Scu put it up this morning and I just wonder if he got a word, considering his brother has...

I've stuck the cards under the sewing machine and the needle has pierced: San 2.02 - Martator San 2.40 - Kala Conti San 3.10 - Sole Solution San 3.42 - Fortunate Man; Nassalam Mus 1.43 - Gibbs Island Mus 2.20 - Teddy Blue; Moon d'Orange

That occurred to me but Newbury is 50%+ more valuable and I'd have thought McManus and the bigger Irish yards would have had two or three viable candidates for both races.

Another couple of angles have caught my attention. JP doesn't have an entry at this stage ... in a race in which he often has more than one fanciable contender. And there are no Irish entries. Has word got out that they'd be wasting their time?

Believe it or not, seeing the above posts prompted me to look at the card. I wasn't even aware the weights were out. WTF is wrong with me???? Anyway, I can see how LIR is so short. There's obviously been a huge word for it and when you see what else the yard has in the race for this seemingly...
