Up to the point when DG mentioned that SFP was not a definite runner,
What?

Report in Stroud Journal yesterday appears to indicate a more positive perspective, TG quite keen on SFP's chances in the Ultima.
On a slightly different subject does anyone keep a record of where the cutoffs for the handicaps have been for the last few years? I do but for some reason I can't find my file.
If so I'd be grateful if you could either post or send me a message. I'm planning a big purge over the weekend, and I don't want to either do unnecessary work or cut off too early and miss some entries.
Ultima: 134 (10-5)
I was going to with-hold this, Paul, seeing as you're following Max and DO over the cliff with Beat That (a Ferrari that went into the chop-shop, where they fitted a Morris Minor engine), but as I'm a good sport...........:lol:
Bottom-weight ratings for the Handicaps last season:
Ultima: 134 (10-5)
Close Bros: 137 (11-7)
Coral Cup: 136 (10-6)
Fred Winter: 124 (10-9)
Pertemps: 137 (11-2)
Plate: 133 (10-1)
Kim Muir: 133 (11-0)
County: 134 (10-2)
Martin Pipe: 135 (11-0)
Grand Annual: 135 (10-7)
Not exactly what you want Paul but a few pointers

Tbh I'm thinking Tom George could have a very good festival I think he has some great horses on his hands. Sommerville Boy and Black Op look like really nice novices can't quite recall the story but there is something linked with their breeding and they are the only winners to have come from it. Tom seems to have some good chances in handicaps. I might be insane but I think Gods Own might run a big race in the CC not that I think he'll win it. I know some people quite like The worlds end in the stayers, I don't personally but prepared to accept that I could be wrong on occasion/all the fecking time!
If all else fails though at least he'll win the cup
I don't know of any site that goes to the trouble of adding this detail, Shane. I reckon the only way of IDing them is if a) you already know, or b) you look for novice chase runs in their season's form.
Any reason why you would want to know which handicap entries are novices? You planning to draw a line through them all?
And Patricks Park a massive doubt to even get in . He's #80 on the listInteresting, hadn't fully realised Kings Socks had such decent French form. I was considering who to back between Tully East and Patrick's Park but I may just switch altogether to Kings Socks tbh.
Nope - not even this yard can get him beaten.
Like I say, the horse should have a stone (possibly more) in hand, based on his juvenile hurdles form, and he was never put in the race at any stage at Kempton behind Modus.
