Henderson quiet on this animal, bit like Spirit Son whose owner came out with last quote.

Finians is entered in the Desert Orchid Chase on 27th December at Kempton.

Be taken on by possibly Ghizao, Wishful Thinking and Oiseau De Nuit.

A 25 pointer.

Hope so Sint on for Champion Chase, and in awful ttf,fto should be beating these especially around Kempton.
Report sintonian December 23, 2011 1:13 AM GMT
Hendo has a good record in the race and won it recently with Petit Robin first time out. Anything above Evens for FR is good value.

Agree with that, just having Brandy/Baileys large before going bed as working all fickin w-end on overnights.

Did well to win today after the mistake

Not sure he's going to trouble Big Zeb and Sizing .

You would hope NJH left something to work on though as his next race is a Grade 1 at Ascot. Hard to imagine him being any more than 90% for that race today imo, and the horse in 2nd and 3rd are solid yardsticks.

FR also did not look keen and fizzy, he looks more settled to me.

Geraghty gave him a magnificent ride to win today. One has to say he'd have won by much more barring that dreadful mistake.
Report mandown December 27, 2011 9:11 PM GMT
Now looking forwards to Spirits Son.

Quietly impressive I thought, given the mistake. His ability to get home at the end of a punishing race has been my constant concern regarding this chances in the Queen Mother but he did look more settled today and I was pleased to see him want to knuckle down and win the race after the last.

A very likable performance I thought, and one that bodes very well for the season ahead. Very happy to hear they go to Ascot with him as well as that is a stiff track for the trip and should help to show whether he might get home better this term. I have lost a few quid on him at the last two Festivals but still love him.

Just doesn't get home at Cheltenham. The Arkle was run to suit and form has yet to be franked and Queen Mother always goes to a strong stayer.
