Nick Williams said .....  For Non Stop will definitely run in the Coral Cup

Wheelbarrow

Good news; I have in a small ew double with Bensalem at 14s and 16s respectively!

I was hoping James De Vassy would be entered in it aswell, nice forecast for mr williams.

not going to chelters from what i gather

I see, i backed it antepost . Ran a good race last year.

yep, did. if for non stop can run a bit better than that this year there would be smiles all round

FNS w@nks up

hopefully. should make a great chaser. sayin that theres the likes of aegean dawn likely to run too

Aegean Dawn in the County? Imperial Cup run would suggest so

backed FNS at 10/1 today, think the Grands Crus form is solid

o right, i thought he was going to the coral cup. fns looks well handicapped anyhow, id be surprised if he didnt start fav

He could well be reve, just my opinion that if they are lining AD up for the Imperial, the County would seem the obvious plan. Extra 2 day break as well.

For what its worth For Non Stop is looking like my best bet of the festival

good good. hopefully he will do the business

How many winners for your hero at the festival then Reve?

We've already established FNS will honk up

well hes got a duck you know so i dont know. realistically i think maljimar and for non stop are his beat chances but who knows

A shame you jump like a pleb

Any sign of mart reve, was tryin to get in touch wiv him but no response??

eh yeah, il send ya a message there nw

All of the10's taken now. What price does this go off at?

4/1

3/1f when Aegean Dawn goes for the County

7/2 FFT? Deal?

Can live with that

Needs quite a few to come out to get a run

I make it he's no: 69 in the weights.....needs over half of the entries above him to come out to get a run

Quite a few above him have multiple entries but touch and go.
Whats the maximum field 30 runners?

I think its 28!

could be albert bound now

Last year Shadow Dancer was no28, last in (final decs). At this stage last year at initial handicap weight publications SD was 101st in list. In 2009, no 98 was last in.

For Non Stop must have a very good chance of getting in, currently 69th on list.

nice work Target Man

Panic over ....Cheers TS

Will defo get in given the number of multiple entries and irish horses entered to check their mark.

Dont worry will get in, anyway Arcalis wins this!

Not getting in would make me

I'm going to make myself very unpopular on here.

FNS's run behind Grand Cru looks fine when you consider the winner is now rated 43lbs higher. However he won with the proverbial ton in hand that day (and in his 2 subsequent races) so rather than rate FNS through Grand Cru how about the horses that finished behind them both that day?

3rd Kings Legacy - one subsequent run, beaten 51 lengths.
4th Hidden Keel - switched to fences.
5th Cappagh - one subsequent run beaten 18.5 lengths
6th Mister Hyde - won at Plumpton NTO then beaten 32 lengths in his subsequent start.
7th Rock County - finished 6th & 7th in his w subsequent races in Ireland off a rating 5lbs below his UK mark.
8th Heez a Cracker - in his next 3 runs he was beaten 35 and 38 lengths with a win at Huntingdon sandwiched between.
9th Lush Life - won his next race, a Cheltenham handicap, by 1 1/4 lengths and a nose. Subsequently beaten 54 lengths.
10th Russian War - trained by Gordon Elliott. Has not seen the track since.

I gave up after that but accept that horses placed 11th or worse may have done something to boost the form. However there are an awful lot of horses listed above who have as yet done nothing for it.

I would argue that beating that lot, even by 11 lengths and more, is not exactly earth-shattering form, particularly as he now runs off a 10lbs higher mark.

FNS's only subsequent run behind the ill-fated Backspin, Court in Motion (rated 146)  and Al Ferof (rated 142) was an excellent effort and if anyone uses that race to suggest he is at least 7lbs well in off 135 I would have no problem in accepting it.

For Non Stop and Grands Crus were travelling much the best of the field a fair way out iirc, we weren't to know how well in Grands Crus actually was at that time and For Non Stop certainly gave him more of a race than he's had since. Although up a fair few pounds in the handicap since that run I think there's enough improvement in him to suggest winning off a mark of 135 is entirely likely.
Let us not forget he was well fancied for the Challow despite his interrupted prep and was still far from disgraced.

Still think he is the best bet of the festival imo

Grand Crus was given a far more enterprising ride than FNS at Cheltenham that day.

Now no.33 in the 5 day decs so a run looks very possible.

piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssseeeeeddddddddd in number 14

as expected

Roll up roll up for the For Non Stop express train

[:p]

minimum 3 winners for Daryl this week Reve [;)]

hope so

Choo Choooooooo

What's the official winning distance then please?

about 10 lengths for me
