what horse you looking forward to

Weapons Amnesty would of won the Gold Cup on the snaff this year only for injury

so maybe do Pandorama they are closely matched

already have but he wants cut, Weapons Amnesty is a totally different beast on good ground [;)]

Pandorama from ireland
Franklino Alan Kings hopeful for the triumph hurdle
Tataniano is the horse im excited most about
Solwhit is the horse for value at the moment.

forpadydeplasterer to actually finish somewhere rather than 2nd
french opera too. hopefully maing up into a top notcher

peddlers cross

looking forward to seeing how zaynar gets on this year.Looked very good early on but race by race became more and more lazy.

Cue Card

The Real Article

And hope NJH sees the light and steps Soldantino up to 3m+

Dunguib on his retrieval mission and agree with Fidway, Forpady other than second, hopefully at Down Royal in November as long as ground isn't bottomless, as it was last year.

Captain Cee Bee
Secant Star
Cue Card
Peddlers Cross

Cheltenham already has my juices flowing and its only September

WEIRD AL

as above and Time For Rupert over fences.

So many horses to look forward to! But I guess these 2 are top of my list
- Captain Chris
- Tell Massini

Could be the Arkle and RSA winner, who knows!

Peddler's Cross (in the Stayers', I hope)
Muirhead
Solwhit
And I can't help wondering whether What a Friend is a flat-tracker pe a real contender

PRIDE OF DULCOTTE

Somersby for me. Backed him in the Arkle and he ran a cracker. Massive scope for improvement given the size of the horse just don't know what race they will aim him at but i'll be backing him whatever he goes for.

Tell Massini is surely better than we saw in March?

Peddlers Cross.

Cue Card (another Dunguib?)

Hurricane Fly (nap)

sang bleu arkle winner

and tataniano

Think Flat Out could be Willie Mullins horse for the Sun Alliance Chase and I'm keen to see where he goes this season

Think the young generation will have a say in the Gold Cup this season. Looking forward to seeing how Long Run does with a full off season's rest behind him.

But TBH I'm like a dog with two dix about the whole thing already and it's still over 6 months off[:)][:)]

Peddler's Cross (NAP)
Shinrock Paddy, if going over fences, will be a monster imo

Mik D' Hag.

Agreed Howdi, every bit as impressive as Peddlars Cross, fingers crossed he is over his problems.

Arvika Ligeonniere

Time For Rupert. I can't wait to see him chasing.

You can't go far wrong with Desond Orchard

Spirit River

time for rupert chasing
reve de sivola over 3miles
joncol/pandorama around prestbury park
peddlers cross in the champion hurdle
an sioraac in the foxhunters

Believe time for rupert will start off in the 3 mile novice chase at the Open Meeting at Cheltenahm

^^ good info ta

Big Zeb...............quality animal

anyone interested in j'y Vole for the Gold Cup?

Mikael D'Haguenet and another horse who is giving a gut feeling it will win the Gold Cup.

All of em, get rid of this flat nonsense!

Like Roger tho really looking forward to see how Long Run gets on after a proper break and a bit more growing time, thought he did really well last year after a busy season, thought his RSA run was really encouraging and promising for such a young and inexperienced, (to english fences), horse

dunguib(cant wait til he settles in a fast pace and is delivered early enough to win ) still think hes a good one!!

2m good ground chasers, look no further than tataniano

long run over no further than 2 and a half, hopefully improved his jumping!


weird al- superb animal!will win good races over staying distances, great jumper, solid!


final 2, cue card, for obvious reasons and captain chris like my pal ryanwe looks a good un!!


cant wait, as i havent really enjoyed this flat season, no sts ALTHOUGH i think next seasons flat 3yr olds will be v v good!!



BRING ON THE JUMPS!!

secant star = machine

Mikael D'Haguenet will win the gold cup in two years,hes not going for it this year,seen it canter ruby said its an aeroplane

Think we all know he is an aeroplane it is just that Ruby will always be aboard Nicholls chartered flight to the Gold Cup so Mikael may never get a chance to run in it. Next year Big Bucks has been declared on target for the race does Mikael miss out on Ruby again ... I think so? This horse should have been given a jump around late last season with a view to going for the Gold Cup this imo.

Arvika Ligeonaire and Loosen My Load

yeah ruby will more than likely on a nicholls horse,wouldnt put me off if townend did ride it great young jock,he has a brother to zaynar mullins who could go champion bumper and nicky henderson supposedly has a full brother to binocular and showing plenty apparently

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

Has to be Mad Max for me

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

toon...i think hens stated somersby will be aimed at ryanair.

can you expand on this pls ta

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.

^^^ ta

Cheers ftm will start the plunge this week.

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.

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.

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.

Royal Scoundrel

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

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?

*there [smiley:crazy]

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

Long Run
Peddlers Cross
Hurricane Fly
Oscar Whisky
Finians Rainbow

legend `100 found out-bluffer[smiley:crazy]

Cue Card for me.
Joe Tizz can't even say his name without grinning from ear to ear!

The Real Article

And hope NJH sees the light and steps Soldantino up to 3m+ Mischief

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.

Has to be Hurricane Fly, though I'm really looking forward to Quel Esprit going over fences. Looks made for the RSA

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

mlb

arvika legionnaire for me too...looks a monster

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

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.

agree with Arvika Legionnaire,hope connections get the mighty Mikael back on course son too....

I think that Big Zeb and Sizing Europe could fight out the QM if both get there fit and well.

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

^^^^ yawn

michael dhaguenet
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.

Joncol,Bensalem,Peddlars Cross,Finians Rainbow & Megastar

Minger,

Id be surprised if Bensalem runs this season.

Peddlars will be interesting over 2. Be brilliant if he could come backwards and remain unbeaten...

Five For Three - love him to bits..

Though I fear 543 may have missed his chance through the spells on the sidelines.

deadloss - didnt realise he was long term- thought back after Xmas?
