...a bit premature. They haven't got Sea The Stars rated for the Triumph yet.

 

[rorydelargy]

The most interesting ratings are those from 130-155 or so. How far do they go down Grassy?

 

[Harbinger]

What have they got Hurricane Fly on?

 

[granger]

Cooldine if I may ask?

 

[Guest_]

You know the jumps is nearly back when Noel Meade is banging in plenty of winners early on.

[granger]

Expected a higher mark for Cooldine I must say

 

[Euronymous]

It does seem a little low in comparison to his peers, but like Denman (161p as a novice) he seemed to have stacks in hand when winning at Cheltenham and they could almost have been justified in rolling out the big P.

 

[Harbinger]

Thanks Euro!

Would take too long to write them all down, rory!

If anyone has got a horse in mind, let me know and I'll be happy to post the rating.

 

[Dylan Thomas]

how much was the book 70

 

[Euronymous]

Yep. Worth every penny.

 

[Grasshopper]

...a bit premature. They haven't got Sea The Stars rated for the Triumph yet.

If you'll permit me: Sea The Stars can go fuck himself.

 

[Grasshopper]

Yep. Worth every penny.

Amen to that.

Rare Bob please Mr Hopper ~ I'll take a punt on 159 (a lot of people's been telling me i'm a good guesser lately!)?

Probably a bit high that, actually.

 

[Grasshopper]

Rare Bob is 149+

 

[martin]

Cheers, that's what I meant lol!

 

[Irish Stamp]

I hope they whacked out a big "+" for Rose Grassy (that's if they rated him)

 

[Grasshopper]

RR gets a straight 161, Martin

 

[granger]

Muirhead, Somersby, Fifeforthree if possible

 

[Grasshopper]

159 Muirhead
141 Somersby
163 Fiveforthree

 

[Irish Stamp]

Thanks Grassy - did they give Rubi Ball a rating at all?

 

[granger]

Appreciated Grassy. Great to have the good stuff back on the boards

 

[Grasshopper]

Martin, Rubi Ball got 143 (Long Run 142p and 152 over hurdles).

Rendons got 162 for hurdles (looks a shade high to me).

Your Portals Toy is on 154, so a lot to find to win a Stayers!
