I'm personally on al ferof at 16s win only as I'd love to see him back to his best

 

[granger]

Is long run starting tomorrow?

Same here. I've been topping up and whilst I wouldn't exactly call him a good thing I expect something special from him. It's amazing to think a horse with his profile/breeding has yet to tackle 3 miles - a trip he was made for.

 

[granger]

Is Cue Card a likely runner?

 

[Euronymous]

No other target as far as I'm aware.

He won the Hennessy last year over 3m but I know his prep run a few weeks ago was short enough . I couldn't fancy him for the gold cup though

 

[granger]

Super. No way he stays

 

[Euronymous]

You mean the Paddy Power Alex. Al Ferof holds Cue Card on form anyway. Should be fav.

Not on chasing form he doesn't. Not by a long way.

 

[Euronymous]

It was a semi joke Grassy.

Cue Card has had two fairly hard races already this season and it's not 100% he is as good right handed. At his price he is worth taking on

 

[Perpetual]

Nor bumper form

Think dynaste will come on for the run and cue card settles much better this year so I'm sure he fully stays the trip. Wouldn't back long run with anyone's money

 

[JamesRB]

agreed cue card worth taking on but not with al ferof

i think silviniaco conti is a nice price but i'd like some assurances over there being a stiffer stamina test than what happened at haydock

Didn't think silviano was going for the KG as PN doesn't think the track suited him..

 

[Euronymous]

Silviniaco Conti is not good enough. Everytime he's faced horses of the highest quality he has failed.

Is long run starting tomorrow?

Grade 1 form of 1121 should not be dismissed lightly he could be a knocking place only bet on the day, but al ferof my idea of the winner too.

nicholls said this weekend in his betfair column that kempton is the aim for al ferof & conti. unioniste/rocky creek possibles for lexus.

Did you see all the entries Mullins has over Xmas?

 

[reet hard]

Super. No way he stays

If Al Ferof takes him on, he probably won't.

 

[ajax trees down]

Yeah but the biggest race on Boxing Day is the KG and I'm sure Mullins will send a few over for the under card so surely ruby will make an appearance

Walsh would be on a Mullins yoke if he is to travel over
