Nice. If Vautour doesn't turn up in the Ryanair he'll go close. The last two winners were both placed in the previous years JLT and although it's a bit early to compare that trend to the Arkle/Queen Mother one it's a promising sign.

It's such an open race the way it's priced up

The way he jumps he has to have a chance

Trying to think where they could get a prep into him

Tied Cottage is over 2 miles in January

Glad I haven't backed him for the JLT, was actually more interested in him for next year's King George anyway.

I don't think it's set in stone that he can't go left handed, he's already a far better chaser than he was a hurdler and I'd like to see him given a chance, at least in a small race.

We know Aubusson goes left handed and he's interesting in the Dipper tomorrow. Difficult to quantify what he achieved at Uttoxeter the last day but he jumped well in the main and I would think a better pace will help him concentrate more.

if he isn't the classic example of horses favouring one way or another..then one doesn't exist..textbook RH horse
 
Makes little difference to the WPM's of this world. Vautour for example will be entered in all three - and probably the CH & WH too :ninja:

Don't know if any of you use the well known restaurant called The Daffodil when you come here racing, but today it has closed suddenly and some members of staff are owed hundreds of pounds in wages. Might be as well to book somewhere else as soon as you can.
