Some quotes from WPM"Annie Power could run at Punchestown. We step up work in the next couple of weeks."Min is just OK, Annie is in better order."on Yorkhill - "That he can jump around Cheltenham and that his pedigree is a real old-fashioned chasing one would tell me the progression would be the Gold Cup on that performance.

Ryanair offering £30 return tickets to Dublin from Bristol or Leeds

 

[Perpetual]

Looks like I'll be there on the Thursday if anyone is around for a pint?

 

[Steve T]

I'm over on the Tuesday for annual flying visit, can't wait.

You can get similar from Liverpool or Manchester too (or you could 3 or 4 days ago).Martin

Empire of Dirt 12/1 for the Punchestown Gold Cup with Skybet, Powers and BF Sportsbook.

This price cannot last.

 

[zongalero]

He is entered up in Betfair Bowl mate

 

[Grasshopper]

Yep......DG just confirmed the same, Tony.

I have taken 4's (to not a great deal) on Betfair, then more at 7/2 elsewhere, for the Aintree race. Absolutely convinced there is a G1 race in this horse at 3m.

 

[Perpetual]

Grade 1 entries are out

Sutton Place caught my eye in the 3m race

Very very keen on this boy

"on Yorkhill - "That he can jump around Cheltenham and that his pedigree is a real old-fashioned chasing one would tell me the progression would be the Gold Cup on that performance.

Gold cup or he won't go at all.
But we'll leave him in the Ryanair until the Thursday just in case he's not showing us anything.

Defi Du Seui giving Punchestown a miss

 

[Grasshopper]

No surprise, and the right decision.

A seven-race season for a juvenile is plenty.

 

[Jambo]

some high class racing on Tuesday, can see how aintree missed out this year with some of the clashes

Credit to tizzard for sending some over

Melon v Labaik (pingshou too)
Un De Sceaux v Fox Norton (gods own, rock the world, sir Valentino too)
Decent enough 3m novice too

Sets week off on high note

 

[Euronymous]

Any reason given for Bellshill not running.

As a Melon Champion Hurdle backer I want an impressive performance, the last thing needed is for them to think Yorkhill is their number 1 CH contender.


I'm on Outlander at 14s and 16s for the Gold Cup but am starting to warm to Djakadam at around burlington. The last time he skipped Aintree he actually ran ok behind Don Cossack in this. Ultimately there is little between the front 4 on ratings and the prices are incorrect - John and Coneygree are too short, Jack and Outlander too big.

 

[granger]

Coney grew surely won't run on the ground over here

 

[edgt]

A nice bit of rain and cold for tomorrow and Tuesday forecast so time will tell.
Hope to get there Thursday so Perpetual should get the pint i owe him.

Power rides Forge Meadow and Davy Pingshou

Jessie is the real guvnor

 

[Euronymous]

I'm at work all week, anyone have any ideas how I'm gonna access the replays given the Sporting Life's odious new site hasn't got them anymore.

 

[Colin Phillips]

At The Races has the replays, their app is free and quite useful.
