[Roddy Owen]

Nicholls says in todays RP that he def runs Hawkes Point if he comes out of Exeters run this week OK . Stays forever

 

[prince regent]

interesting race

godsmejudge will have no trouble with the trip and is in form

merry king should also have no difficulty with the trip and the trainer has a fair record in this race and also in staying chases at the festival in general

 

[edgt]

Given Derek O Connor was booked for Rival D'Estruval since before Christmas Should we be looking much further ?

 

[prince regent]

i would like to see whos on merry king but rival is certainly one for the shortlist

 

[Diamond Geezer]

Tony Solomons (co-owner) is adamant Harry Topper won't go but the other partner is keen to go so they have agreed to leave it to the trainer who says would only consider it if the going was soft, heavy no good at this distance at his age and won't go anyway if good. Meanwhile they have an entry at Kelso on Saturday but will only take a decision literally at the last minute before the scheduled departure from the yard on Friday morning.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Harry Topper doesn't run and Back in Focus cut in price.

David Pipe: Goulanes will run in RSA Chase​

 

[Ardross]

David Pipe: Goulanes will run in RSA Chase​

I assume that means Dynaste won't !

Shower of b*stards.

[links781]

I assume that means Dynaste won't !

They are saying it has no baring on Dynaste target.lower than a snakes bollocks they are.

 

[Grasshopper]

I think Luke might have a tidy wager at a big price about Goulanes in this.

The kent.

 

[HawkWing]

Not sure if he will turn up here, but on good ground Sea of Thunder is ripe for a big effort.

 

[prince regent]

trainer has stated he will be pulled out if word soft appears in going.

i would be interested in him on good ground especially if it was still drying out but i dont think realisticly we are going to see going next week without the word soft in it

 

[edgt]

With the frost covers on the old course for the weekend the ground is likely to be dead.

 

[LUKE]

I think Luke might have a tidy wager at a big price about Goulanes in this.

The kent.

Only heard the news about half an hour ago -I have a few quid at 65 on the machine.Hopefully Pipe does the decent thing and sends Dynaste to the Jewson.

 

[Aragorn]

Surely 3/1 about Back in Focus is massive for this? Grade 1 winner, will stay forever and the ground will at least have a bit of dig in it, which he needs. Always been a fan of this horse and will be hoping he can get the day started well.

 

[chroniclandlord]

A worthy favourite, he can get Mullins off to a flying start tomorrow.

 

[granger]

Wonder is 4 miles a bit on the short side for BIF

 

[Aragorn]

The others are all admirable but not in this lads class. I just have a feeling 3/1 could look huge afterwards. Seems so obvious!

 

[Aragorn]

Wonder is 4 miles a bit on the short side for BIF

:lol:

 

[SlimChance]

I've had €645 on Back In Focus @ 3/1. He'll SP around 15/8 and win.

 

[Aragorn]

Ballsy, like it. I've backed him as well.

Have him, Pont and Sprinter in an antepost five fold running from today on Simonsig and Quevega.

Well done on Simonsig by the way. 9/4 was a great bet.

 

[Hamm]

I've had €645 on Back In Focus @ 3/1. He'll SP around 15/8 and win.

I got some on at 7/2 earlier. If 3s available again I'll add some more. 11/4 best now.
