The 2025 Tingle Creek Chase

I'd agree but they let me have a £1 max on it

That's £1 more than they let me have.

Lulamba was five seconds faster over the CD, by the way.

Hard to know what to make of that.

Hard to know what to make of that.

I've run the replays of both simultaneously from the point the leaders each crossed the first fence.

The novices were soon clear and at one point were over 30 lengths ahead. They were jumping the second Railway Fence when the Jonbon was leading his field over the first.

The tingle Creek field never really closed the gap after that.

It's possible the rain had got a bit more into the ground but it's also probably they didn't actually go that fast in the Tingle Creek.

Didn't something similar happen at Kempton the day Il Est Francais was much faster over the CD than the King George field?

I see it as Il Etait Temps v L'Eau Sud tbh.

Well, I was half right - it was Il Etait Temps v daylight.

On the face of it Lulamba is pretty special and Il Etait Temps was perhaps flattered by how easily he won, despite the eulogies being heaped on him. Be interesting to see how Timeform rate the two of them.

Ps: just come back to this - talk about teaching grandmother to suck eggs. Sorry guys

Well, Lulamba, rated 153, has beaten rivals rated 147 and 146 respectively, 9.5 lengths. That's hardly 'pretty special in my book.

I'll be very surprised if Timeform doesn't have IET 20lbs higher.

That’d take him to some dizzy height.

I mean IET 20lbs+ higher than Lulamba.

About as dizzy as the midway step up the 10ft diving dale.
