The trainer thinks he has to go right handed.
Report Meat Loaf • November 2, 2010 5:29 PM GMT
I will never forgive the trainer for not going for the RSA last season. Instead the trainer decided to go to Aintree on good ground, when the horse clearly needs soft ground.

The logical option would be the King George as he destroyed a good field there in February, but with Nichols having Kauto Star I doubt he will go there.

Probably the Peterbrough Chase??

Report flyingbolt • November 4, 2010 3:22 PM GMT
He jumped so badly right handed at Aintree that I doubt he'll go left handed again in the near future. If all goes well at Down Royal I should think the John Durkan would be next.

It will be back to the drawing board after Pandorama puts him in his place on Saturday!
Report flyingbolt • November 4, 2010 4:44 PM GMT
Pandorama great horse but..........better left handed ?
Report ChildOfMine2 • November 4, 2010 4:51 PM GMT
Thought he done the job well in the Drinmore!

Laugh give it up Meat Loaf, he would not have seen what way Weapons Amnesty went LaughLaugh

i agree with both COM and flyingbolt, Pandorama if fit enough will beat him on Saturday, i also agree Pandorama is better left handed but think he will get away with it as he did at Fairyhouse
Report flyingbolt • November 4, 2010 10:23 PM GMT
Actually Satellite I think The Nightingale might win on Saturday.
No chance in the Ryanair though.

Pandorama could be a major player in the Lexus and the Irish Hennessy. Maybe Newbury too.
Report Swinia • November 5, 2010 9:04 AM GMT
Pandorama is the class horse in the race but wouldn't he be carrying a 6llb penalty into the Hennessy if he won? After all it is only a pipe opener for the Hennessy. I'd just wonder if he'll be fully wound up...
Report Burghley • November 5, 2010 4:00 PM GMT
Do any of you not think that Pandorama will be better when stepped up in trip? A pipe blower for the Hennessy?
Report samuraikenny • November 5, 2010 6:11 PM GMT
flyingbolt????????? why are you so sure the nightingale can,t win  rynair,is it left handed issue ?
Report flyingbolt • November 6, 2010 8:36 AM GMT
Yes Samuraikenny.

After seeing his Aintree run I couldn't entertain him for the Ryanair. Indeed I'd be surprised if he runs on a left handed course this season.

flyingbolt.,nice win for the nightingale shame pandorama did,nt go to post."was it just me or did the nightingale keep pulling to the left!! what ever i,m pleased with result

Quite impressive run.

flyingbolt,,down royal /brian fleming,.."ruby said it doesn,t matter if this fellow goes ""left" or right loves soft ground..+ read page 90,analysis,,would see him as a leading ryanair chase contender,,"
Report flyingbolt • November 7, 2010 12:36 PM GMT
Mmm. I respect Ruby's opinion. However if I remember correctly it was him who said Denman would have no problem going right handed at Punchestown.
Got that spectacularly wrong didn't he ?

As for the analysis that is Mr O'Hanlon's opinion. He might be right ,he might not.
Report samuraikenny • November 7, 2010 3:27 PM GMT
yes, flyingbolt we all have our personal opinions,mine is the nightingale will win one or more top chase this season.
my concern now will stable have any fit jockeys??
still i,m feeling smuge with my ante post odds,
Report flyingbolt • November 7, 2010 3:30 PM GMT
Good luck.
Report Meat Loaf • November 7, 2010 3:43 PM GMT
The horse is terribly injury prone - its a long way till the Spring.

Will likely miss Cheltenham and go for the Melling Chase as apparetly the horse needs a long break in between races and Aintree likely to suit better than Cheltenham.
Report flyingbolt • November 7, 2010 3:53 PM GMT
When has he been injured iyo ?

Report Wayward Lad • November 10, 2010 1:59 PM GMT
Has been given a rating of OR167.
Personally, I think that rating is a joke as basically the handicapper reckons it should now be capable of winning the Ryanair.
Report unclepuncle • November 10, 2010 4:54 PM GMT
If he needs to go right handed his options are limited unless he steps up to 3m (or down to 2m)

Peterborough Chase would be ideal and then the Ascot chase in January is the only other Grade 1 I can think of over 2m4f that is right handed. Myabe Punchestown would be the main festival to aim at rather than Cheltenham and Aintree?
Report ben10 • November 10, 2010 5:14 PM GMT
Really good horse on his ground, think there will be a few races for him to pick off in Ireland over the course of the year. The Ascot Chase in February is the obvious target for me.

John Durkan (or whatever it's called now)Love
Report samuraikenny • November 13, 2010 7:10 AM GMT

on at 160/1 for ryanair..
