Carlito Brigante

Had a really good look at this horse for my shortlist for the race, but fear the hike in the weights for its Kelso win two runs ago, might have put paid to its chance. I certainly wouldnt put you off totally and there would be worse 66/1 shots in the race.

He seems to have thrived for the change of stable, step up in distance and should love the expected sounder surface.

Good luck and enjoy the race.

On my list. It's run well before whilst with Giggy town & Elliot. People dismiss "untrendy" trainers for mo legitimate reason.

This horse has an outstanding chance imo, my main bet in the race; Backed him ew at 66/1 plus a sneaky tenner at 140/1 on here.

His Kelso win was very good, carried top weight and won easily over 3m2f, staying on strongly. He might have went up in the ratings but he has a nice racing weight. Has plenty going for him, including the ground.

He would be a fraction of the current price were he trained by Nicholls, mullins etc.

Brian Harding booked according to the RP site. Cant say I'd be enthused by that if I had backed the horse if Im being honest.

Im honestly not one of those jockey basher posters on here buts there's been a few occasions this season that Ive thought that Father Time has caught up with Brian.

I'll be including him, looks very likely to get the trip, likes the ground, has back class...probably over-priced.

This is Harding's best season ever.

Difficult for him when he gets put up on some right old dross.

Wouldn't put me off backing the horse - GL to those who have invested.

Im sure you're right about it being his best season numerically but Im still not convinced he's riding as well as he has done in the past. As perverse as that might sound.

As I said previously I think the horse has a live chance at the prices, good luck to all those who back it.

I layed it at a now untraceable price :-(

I've backed it at 66/1. Should ne half the price imo. Still means its much more likely to lose than win of course...

Withdrawn at 11:15am, under 2 hours after the deadline that would have meant a reserve could run.

Connections of Baileys Concerto delighted with the timing of that news.

Cue loud moaning from Rita in Accounts who's drawn Carlito in the office sweepstake.

pathetic that a reserve can not run

Why was he withdrawn?

lame

Cheers Mary.
