RP reporting L'Ami Serge will probably take in the Skybet Chase at Doncaster at the end of this month as a prep run for the Stayers.
Beer Goggles I now have on 163 and he's improving a good half a stone from race to race, plus I love his jumping fluency. At the moment I'm happy with the 25/1 I have about him.
Any thoughts as to what happened with him on Saturday Des as to why the horse started to want to go right handed. Never noticed this before and haven't seen any other instances of it from his runs at Aintree and Newbury. From what I've seen the horse is usually straight as a die.
I'm wondering whether it was either some sort of injury he was carrying,hopefully not. Or whether it might have been something as simple as an issue with the tack or he's lost a shoe or something. Very strange run and might be worth keeping an eye out for an explanation for it. Now he's "flopped" he might be a very interesting price on the day if we get some sort of reasonable explanation for it. It certainly ended his chances on Saturday that's for sure.
I imagine something will emerge regarding Beer Goggles. He didn’t show any tendency to hang out right at left-handed Newbury so I suspect there was a physical problem with him. I thought he ran well in the circumstances.
Sam Spinner was my idea of the winner
but a negative he was not running last week
dont know if injured or they didnt want to run with the penalty in the heavy ground
“He’s a very easy horse to keep fit and fresh. I would personally be quite happy if we just made Cheltenham our target. There aren’t too many options anyway”
