Really looking forward to Hurricane Fly and have a sneaky feeling we will see Big Bucks in the Gold Cup.

Watching Cue Card's progress will be interesting although Bumper winners have a recent history of flattering abit. If he was trained by Paul Nicholls this beast would be 5-1 now for the Supreme.

Legend not sure if you've misheard on the brother to Zaynar but his siblings are as follows:
2000 - Zainatiya (unraced) 2001 - Zanjan (9 runs, 3 places) 2006 - Zaidpour (3 runs, 1 win, 2 places including a listed race) 2007 - Zaidiyna (5 runs, 3 places) 2008 - Zainzana (filly by Green Desert) 2009 - No Foal 2010 - Colt by Zamindar |

Hoping the majority of the racing public maintain the opinion that Cue Card is another Dunguib. Chalk and cheese.

By:
In short I think Cue Card is quicker and likely to be more athletic over his hurdles than Dunguib. If he continues to be underestimated, as he was in the Cheltenham bumper, then there is more chance of getting good value. If you read back through the thread you'll see folk saying I'm looking forward to seeing Cue Card but...Dunguib last year, record of supreme winners etc.

I swear I heard Hen say on ATR she didn't think Somersby stayed at Aintree though. It's open to debate about whether he stays, not sure how anyone can be certain based on the Aintree run considering he was kicked before the start and it was at the end of the season.
Anyway, she didn't give the impression she would be sending him to the Ryanair. Maybe ftm heard it from a different source though, or maybe I heard wrong.  |
|
By:
It seems that that is what she has said Ryan. I agree though that everything that could go wrong, did go wrong at Aintree and to judge him on that run would be ludicrous. My pocket is talking as I backed him for the GC immediately following the Arkle as he looked to be crying out for further then.
|
|
By:
Yeah agreed DO, everything did seem to go wrong at Aintree [smiley:crazy]. I'm sure you're not the only person who thinks he will stay further, he definitely gave me that impression too.
I don't think he's got enough pace to win the Champion Chase, so if they don't go further with the horse this season then I think he might struggle as a 2nd season chaser. |

Think the horse will be a lot stronger this season Ryan, has a big frame and still developing so think that he will stay further this year.

Of Course Trafford Returning but i'm also looking forward to seeing Wymott of McCains over fences
|
|
By:
Got to add Punchestowns in their as well. The horse oozes class but poor prep didn't help his chances in the RSA. Think he got an injury as well on the day?

Just hope AP gets the leg up on Somersby again. He was hijacked at Cheltenham.

Captain Chris for me, looked like he had the makings of a proper horse. Long Run also, was well over the top by Cheltenham and not given the best of rides, i'm really looking forward to seeing him after a proper rest. The jockey still worries me though.
|

By:
Has to be Hurricane Fly, though I'm really looking forward to Quel Esprit going over fences. Looks made for the RSA
|
|
By:
FFT, you reckon the Ryanair with him? As you say is very very classy, and can't give up on him yet

What a Friend has improved for not going to Cheltenham last season and has a great chance in the gold cup if taken another step this year with age and class on his side. Also Great Value Each Way

i would like to nominate GREAT ENDEAVOUR not just for cheltenham but for the whole season ahead

By:
Rangitoto, an ex-irish point to point horse, who is owned by paul barber and charles whittaker. Won 1 from 1 when with liam burke.
In training now with paul nicholls. I think this is the best ex-irish pointer pfn has had since denman came across the water...we shall see. |

By:
agree with Arvika Legionnaire,hope connections get the mighty Mikael back on course son too....
|
|
By:
I think that Big Zeb and Sizing Europe could fight out the QM if both get there fit and well.
|

By:
there is one horse in the gold cup. look closely its so clear to see and available at huge prices on here.
just wait until january and it'll be much shorter |

diamond harry reve de sivola all three will win one or more grade ones this season!!!! |

There is no value to backing Somersby early for a Ryanair. Hen is always lured by the Gold Cup imo and you are touch and go whether he ends up in that.
