His 1st time out record is superb.

ONE BIG DRAWBACK.

His record over distances in excess of 2 miles is 003400 beaten at least 20 lengths every time.

No thanks.

Unlikely runner anyway, according to Hendersen today.

Its a shame hes not running. He"ll stay the trip no problem imo, you just need to catch him first time out.
Report flyingbolt • November 7, 2011 4:25 PM GMT
How exactly would he "stay the trip, no problem" when he's failed miserably to do so on 6 occasions ?
Report bigben • November 7, 2011 9:35 PM GMT
Because he is clearly at his best when fresh. Ive watched his win at Cheltenham last November a couple of times this week & im convinced he"d stay the 2 1/2m when hes right. He was beaten way to early on his last run to suggest that the trip beat him that day.

What about the other 5 times ?

As for being fresh, whilst he clearly go well it's not essential. He won the Imperial Cup 3 weeks after having run poorly......over 2m 5f.

Around 2m his form is  1111011.

Perhaps we'll find out once and for all in the Foylesports or whatever it's called this year.

Lets hope he turns up there so he can prove one of us right!

Plenty of horses with a decent chance but I can't forget what Noble Prince did to Wishful Thinking in March and can't see any reason why the form will be reversed. Surely NP will be shorter if he runs. I am still happy with my Aruldur bet at 44 but see NP as the biggest danger to all.
