Horses who ducked Chelt for Aintree

Ballyrock -
 
Has won on good to firm. In only his second race he gave Fingal Bay a real race in the heavy at Chepstow, staying all the way to the line in desperate conditions.

Fingal Bay was ante post favourite for the Neptune, and Hobbs has called this possibly the best he has trained.   

Ballyrock will love step up in trip to 3m.

think theres a better one on the stable than Ballyrock - also aimed at aintree, Aland Islands.

Vaughan targets Aintree, as he knows his horses are generally under the top class for Chelts, so goes guns blazing at Aintree. Horses back in form, watch them go this next 2 weeks.

Sanctuaire. Nicholls also has one or two more who I can't remember now.

Conti is one

Indeed - thank you

Good stuff guys.

I will chip in with one Loosen My Load. Came 3rd to Noble Prince in the Jewson last year at the festival.
Badly needs proper good ground and trainer says flat track will play more to his strengths.
Ran a few shockers this season but all of soft which he hates.

Seabass

Don't forget its a slightly longer break inbetween Cheltenham and Aintree this year

If I remember correctly Cheltenham form not been holding up too bad in recent years compared to a few years ago.

Aland Islands confirmed on target for Saturday novice race.

Im really thinking of getting my race card, and crossing every horse that has run at Cheltenham and dismiss them!! Probably mad but i just think competitivness of Cheltenham takes so much out of them.
