He certainly looked pleased Luke - looks a top prospect for Novice Chases anyway.
Inspired from OTB and myself :lol:

He's still only five!! How much is he worth now? Maybe you should give Mickey O'Leary a call and make him an offer....

and even happier with Silviniaco Conti hacking up in the Grade 2 at Wincaton this aftenoon
CC is entered in the novice chase at Cheltenham on Friday. Is alway a hot race (last 2 won by Time For Rupert & Weird Al) and really hope he runs as will get to see him in the flesh again

That's a shame (for me anyway) as he was in the 5 day decs for the cheltenham race as well

Going to avoid Drinmore with First Lieutenant and give him one more run before Leopardstown at Christmas

Just about did enough today - that Neptune form isn't exactly setting the world on fire!

I was thinking of going to Bangor tomorrow (there's a song in there I reckon) but with Al Ferof not being declared I shan't bother now.

WORLD HURDLE runner-up Grands Crus is on target to make his eagerly awaited chase debut at Cheltenham on Friday after pleasing trainer David Pipe in his schooling sessions at Pond House.

I think First Lieutenant is shaping nicely-3 runs 2wins-he has been asked to race the last twice and not just do it on the bridle. In the context of a horse who has the festival as his main aim I'd say it's so far so good.

Are Cue Card and Al Ferof likely to clash on Sunday at Cheltenham?

That would make me erect.

You can never 2nd guess a Tizzard, but Senior did say he was leaning towards 2 1/2 miles so hopefully will be Friday up against Grand Crus, Restless Harry, Mossley etc.

How slow was Peddlers cross race? 4/1 for the Arkle with bet365 a complete overreaction. Can't bare listening to On The Bridle's hysteria about the horse for the winter.

He shouldn't have shortened one iota.

Superb round of jumping there - never off the bit!! He's a monster!!!!!!!!
In reality it shows he still has a leg on each corner and he can jump accurately at 3/4 pace. Satisfactory introduction.

Agree the 7 / 8/1 was plenty short enough as it was. Still think he sets the standard though.

Grand Crus 13/8 v Cue Card 2/1
Gc first time over fences shorter than a very impressive CC the last day?? I know where my money is going...

I am with you OTB, but am hoping for the 11/4 on the fictional Sporting Life tissue...

Cue Card the bet of the weekend for me. I think the betting will flip flop. Grand Crus is a slow boat.
