mon perrain

he is targetting the race ive seen 6s this week.

Can see him going off around the 5/2 mark. Could be totally different class to likely rivals. 5s and 6s with high street bookies looks very fair.

I can't think of another horse in training that the new whip rule will give an advantage to

More than him, sorry fat fingers

Why because he already jumps flawlessly? However he doesnt seem to pick up too well in the finish

Hopefully the field will have used all their quotas trying to travel with him into a race, im going to watch the Topham again and see how many cracks Always Waining got

Anyone care to tell me why they fancy this horse? only time ive seen him race he had nowt at the finish.

stopped to a walk at aintree,not sure it will get up the hill,i wouldnt mind seeing it in the queen mother

you serious??

Think it needs 3m minimum, but i agree the way he stopped LTO was worrying.

PN is also confused by that run: http://en-gb.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=161146573927342&topic=375

'A tough horse to get fit, i hope we get him ready in time'

Nicholls on GetOn there about him

Pretty shoite at getting horses ready this year is Mr Nicholls

Howdi you can get bigger now,drift is on re Trainers comments maybe?

What comments did he make?

sorry just read it above - thanks

He must think an awful lot of it when he's bringing Kauto Star, Big Bucks & Mon Perrain to Exeter to gallop after racing

10st 8 with Poqueling holding the weights down?....

I suspect that Poquelin will skip this & wait for the December race, unless the ground is good come next Saturday. Why would Andy Stewart run him to keep the weights down for somebody elses horse? One of his own maybe.

Yep - I thought they'd decided Poquelin is much better suited by the New Course. Also, he didn't really look himself in the Charlie Hall. Fair enough he didn't stay the trip but he folded very tamely a long way out for a 170 rated 2.5 m horse.

nicholls said today the plan is to run the 3 horses
