NTD really pleased with The New One at home , the word ecstatic has been used :lol: and sounds as if there's a race at Kempton next month in mind.

Presumably this is just the Croft Original talking. He'll be handicapped to the hilt.

Plus he's not that fluent a hurdler.

Realt Dubh would be of interest if the ground stays good.

He may change his mind or he may think he's well h'capped over hurdles but his trainer comments in Jumping Prospects http://jumpingprospects.co.uk/ after giving a run down of the horses achievements, Henderson says, "He will remain over hurdles to contest h'caps this season."
Considering he's only 5yo has had only 3 runs over hurdles beating Milord 4 1/2L giving that horse 16lbs and Milord was 4th in Fred Winter - beating My Tent Or Yours 4 1/2L receiving 5lbs - then finishing 4th behind The New One in the Neptune Investment Hurdle and on an O/R 143, I'm inclined to think he's on a very nice mark.

Going to run a FF / TH Ten To Follow comp this season starting Nov 1st ending May 3rd. Been compiling a list of 100 horses ( got 93 at the minute) , ten horses to a list, each entrant one list only.
Anyone that could offer a prize (s) that would be good

Didn't realise his OR was only 143, Swedish - probably is nicely-handicapped off that mark.

A good idea might be to include a wild card where the contestant could put in a horse maybe not on your list?

Building a spreadsheet to manage the competition Roddy, should be able to accommodate that.

Teelin Star entered in the beginners chase at Sligo tomorrow
Had a big reputation last year and will be interesting to see if he's got over the problems he obviously had (PU and then withdrawn lame from his last race)

Having read Jumping Prospects I'm a little concerned that the author had been on the sauce. There are a few glaring errors and mixed up quotes.

Sandown's 2014 bet365 Gold Cup day will be an all-jumps card, with prize-money significantly boosted for the two-day meeting

Think Martin was big on this one at some stage previously. One to avoid for me until he proves himself to be in rude health

Sadly I was Granger - wouldn't touch him with a thirty foot stick at the moment, would appear to be a horse who needs a very soft lead and anything else screws him up (also had physical issues and the like too - hence the non-sale for a ridiculous amount of money in 2012).

The owner is quoted in the Mark Howard One Jump Ahead Book which is a great read and good value compared to some of the crap out there:
"I consider that we have some unfinished business with Rival D'Estruval at Cheltenham. We have therefore decided to go for the Foxhunters as his principle target this season. He will be starting off in a P2P at Alnwick later this year, then a Hunter Chase to qualify. Derek O'Connor will hopefully be in the saddle again"

There's no race for First Loot at the Festival.....Cue Card too good in the Ryanair and Bobs too good in the Gold Cup......unless you reckon CC will go Gold Cup route after winning the King George?

If SDC stays sound, you would have to think he'd be the Jiggytime representative in the Gold Cup, no?
