Is there a list of entries anywhere?

Doing my head in seeing random horses posted for races and not actual list of entries.

Frodon off 164 would make the Ultima interesting :blink:

Cabot cliffs not entered in the county.i really thought Dan Skelton had plotted this one up,possibly imperial cup/county dble.
Siruh du lac not in the plate.my cheltenham is falling apart.back to the drawing board.

EMPIRE STEEL ultima.
I read that 11/14 were rated 142+,9/17 won last time out.nothing over 150.so I see betfair are going 33/1 nrnb,so I've gone in again.
Not certain to run so nrnb.

School Boy Hours won his last race in Ireland currently rated 142 over there.

Judging by his last run he is a seriously improved horse this season.

The last I heard he might wait for the Irish National or Grand National.

I just hope connections change their minds and go for the Ultima.

I keep looking at the result of The Greatwood, back in November. Two more winners at the weekend: Botox Has and Ballyandy. Both finished “back in the field”. I’ll be keeping a keen eye on the other losers from that race. Jesse Evans started favourite in The Greatwood, and finished 9th (hasn’t been seen since). Adagio and Glory and Fortune are worth a look in the CH, too.

Marie's Rock, Cormier, Mick Maestro, and Rowland Ward also won!!!
 
Yes indeed. Last of six last week on his prep run. New mark kicks in today. Smiles in the Skelton hacienda this morning, I reckon.

A lot of talk for Floueur for the Kim Muir. Can see the handicapper shithousing a 146 so it doesn’t get a run. Id lay off backing that until it gets a mark. Unless it has one and I’ve missed it.

Think most of Gordons will get taxed an extra few pounds. No doubt he’d have planned and knows this already.

146 Floueur gets.

That wasn’t ******* obvious
 
Anyway brighter news.

All in four fold.

Gaelic Warrior - Boodles
Buddy Rich - Grand Annual
Frontal Assault - Kim Muir
State Man - County
 
Nicky Henderson would love to win his father's race again and has only 1 entry in Pistol Whipped

He is basically a 2m4f horse but if he can get an easy lead he could make make all over Cheltenham's 2miles.

No doubt Nicky will be treating him with tranexamic acid as he bled badly last time.

He is entered elsewhere so it's very much a wait and see if he turns up at all.

edit. Apparently he is fine and worked with Dusart and Dame De Compagnie at kempton

School Boy Hours gets his Irish mark of 142 for the Ultima...no taxes on his mark.

I really hope Noel Meade runs him.
