mccain could have 3/4 winners tomorrow at haydock imo
|
|
By:
wymott wont be a winner[;)]
|
|
By:
peddlers cross, wymott, glenwood knight and tornado bob all have chances though. well, peddlers should really walk it, and would expect at least 1 of the other 3 to go in, if not more
|
|
By:
Think he will win and if he does it will show his class as 2m4f should be a bit short in my mind.
|
|
By:
Should win this comfortably getting the weight not the greatest of oppo to him here.
|
|
By:
Id take wishfull thinking over the nicholls horse in a match bet.
|
|
By:
He looks the most likely winner, wishful thinking looks like a horse that is improving with racing. The 2m4f doesnt bother me at all, he travels so well.
I still would like to know which horse beats wymott tomorrow mr rds ? so easy to say a horse wont win in a competitive race imo. |
|
By:
i duno abbott, had wishfull thinking beaten before falling, just ran poorly next time out
|
|
By:
Now Haydock is off is he entered in the Argento for a run before Cheltenham?
|
|
By:
Been a strange year for novices, they all seem to be running out of races before cheltenham.
|
|
By:
Yes just 7 weeks to Cheltenham only a few weeks left to get a run in. The likes of Wymott and Mikael D'Haguenet need match practise badly.
|
|
By:
Personally i think Wymott jumps well enough already, but lots of novices are lacking needed experience in the lead up to cheltenham.
|
|
By:
Agree which is also dangerous, going from little practise on slow ground to hell for leather pace on quickish Festival ground on an undulating tiring track.

Donald McCain's exciting prospect Wymott will put his unbeaten record on the line in the £20 Punters Package 11th February Novices' Chase at Bangor on Friday.
The seven-year-old earned a rating of 148 over hurdles and there is every reason to believe he will be better still over the larger obstacles. He has done little wrong in his two starts over fences at Bangor and Exeter and while he had engagements in Graded company this weekend, McCain feels tomorrow's race is an ideal opportunity for his charge. "He had a couple of options this weekend but I know Bangor are going to produce ground I want to run on," said McCain. "They make a fantastic job of the ground there and our job is to get him to Cheltenham in top form, so tomorrow looks a good opportunity to get a run into him. "There's only three runners and it's a competitive little race, but we'll get him out and hopefully then get him home in one piece. "I would imagine the RSA Chase will be the race for him at Cheltenham, but we'll see." Wymott's rivals are Emma Lavelle's Bouggler, who was rated exactly the same over hurdles, and the Nicky Henderson-trained Rackham Lerouge, a facile winner at Towcester last time. |

I'm on Wymott for the RSA but do not like the idea of thim in the race tomorrow. With only 3 runners it could all go wrong with a falsely run race becoming a tactical affair....if they want to learn anything they will have to go a pace rather than plod round the first circuit and it turn into a sprint.

CANT FAULT YOUNG McCAIN RUNNING @BANGOR, THIS HAD NO CHANCE BEATING WAYWARD PRINCE ON SAT, WILLIAMS HORSE IMPRESSED ME LTO, HATED THE GROUND BUT STILL WON AND TO THESE EYES WILL BE A USEFUL TOOL ON GOOD GROUND LEFT HANDED AROUND 3M NOT SAYING BET 4 RSA BUT SAT FILL YER BOOTS ITS JUST TO GET ROUND
  |
|
By:
Will need to win this pretty impressively if Chelts is to remain an option imo. Looks a good shorty to me today though
|
|
By:
Some weak trials this weekend including this one and also Wayward Prince in the Towton, connections not risking defeat unlike the novice chase at Sandown with Captain Chris, Medermit and co which is an absolute corker.
|
|
By:
They seem to be sticking to 2.5 miles but he looks a stayer. The opposition today are no mugs so if he wins well giving them weight it will not harm his chance at Chelts.
|
|
By:
Bring on the RSA.
|
|
By:
Quite impressed again despite a couple of mistakes. Beating Bouggler by that far and giving 4lb is very good. Has tactical pace and should be much better over 3 miles.
|
|
By:
The further they went the better he looked, one mistake but jumping otherwise sound. Promising prep
|
|
By:
Word for word what I was going to say Mr M.
|
|
By:
He's beaten some good horses but only at the gaff tracks like they said on WH radio TFR has not beaten much better but he's done it at Cheltenham. This horse is not flashy but there is a lot more to come. McCain said in his stable tour the horse is still playing around. 3m round Cheltenham I am struggling to find three who'll stay better than him. 16/1 ew is very big after three wins against decent animals.
|
|
By:
just seen the race,looked to make hard work of that to me,wont be having any of my hard earned on him.not impressed at all to be honest.
|
|
By:
I was quite impressed. He seems to get the job done and definitely idles a bit when he's on his own.I'd be a bit worried about the possibility of fastish ground at the festival. He looks like a horse who might be best with some give.The price is tempting though.
|
|
By:
I thought that it was a decent performance.Stamina looks Wymotts forte which as many before have said will play to his strengths in the rsa.As Hussard said "i am struggling to find three who'll stay better than him",that hits the nail perfectly for me too,decent ew value in my eyes
|
|
By:
agree re stamina,future welsh national contender imo.
wont see where TFR went if ground has any good in it. |
|
By:
Don't underestimate Bouggler. He has better basic speed than Wymott, is flat bred, has much more race experience and was rated equal on Hurdle form. Despite that Wymott beat him by about 16lb.
|
|
By:
Agree with sageform, this was a top class performance.
|
|
By:
Top class,no
Promising, Yes |
|
By:
if its heavy at chelt it has a serious chance,otherwise no chance at all.
|
|
By:
I'd think the chances of the ground being heavy on rsa day would be slim
|
|
By:
Giving the 148 rated Bouggler 4lbs and a 10L beating over a distance 4f to short for him this was a top class performance.
|
|
By:
I'm on at 16's and was quite impressed today.IMO there is lots to like about this fellow....stamina,jumping ability,likable attitude and not so devoid of pace as some seem to feel.As far as I can see,the only negatives are the possibility of fast ground(although he did win a Bumper on officially good ground) and perhaps more importantly not having any previous experience of Cheltenham.
|
|
By:
having watched TFR,i cannot have that yesterday as top class,each to their own.thought both horses were struggling a fair bit some way out to be honest
agree with the heavy ground post,his only chance imo. probaby be better off in the 4 miler,plenty of stamina. |
|
By:
Horses that can win decent races over 2.5 miles on a tight track are not slow. I would be more worried about Wymott not staying in a fast run rsa but I hope he will. Because he has not turned up in a top class race, there will be doubters, and there is no doubt that Time For Rupert is the better horse on form but the prices reflect that. Wayward Prince is my other ante post bet for the rsa and we will find out today how good he is.
|
|
By:
Wayward Prince made hard work of it but still won giving weight. Another compliment to Wymott from their hurdle days. I am very happy with these two at 18.5 and 19 against the favourite.
|
|
By:
Wasnt impressed with Wayward Prince today he was niggled well out and will be meeting way better opponents in the RSA.
|
|
By:
wayward looked like he was idling to me, he looked like he was having a jog and just about doing enough...
