Hi mate,
Did not get much info about him,but i was told he should be back in the Autumn and will be trained over 2m hurdles,not exactly a revelation but at least we know hes back on track.

thanks for that....any one outstanding vibe u got from the day ? i know someone on here said they heard stable wasnt exactly 100 % happy with long run before gold cup but i thought he jumped better than ever just not good enough !!!i love the henderson stable and just wondering bar Sprinter if u got anything re next year they were excited about.....simonsig for arkle for me and spirit son for champion hurdle

not really,just the obvious ones.
I would say that in the Gold Cup i would definitely rather be on Bobsworth than LR or BP.
Simonsig definitey aimed at the Arkle if all goes well.
When you speak to him hes very much - lets see how things go,and a long way to next March etc etc.
Fair enough really.

I think Giggenstown know where they are with Bobs Worth. If they think SDC and Last Installment are the 2 for the Gold Cup then they must know they have Bobs worth beat on a line through First Lieutenant. While if FL runs in Gold Cup and is the preferred Giggy horse in the G1 3m chases in Ireland then Bobs has a great chance.

That should be a good indicator imo.

i agree cv...i like last instalment myself...cant fault him..ground ,trip ,class  etc  ....what about u ?

i think he could well be good enough,he certainly seems to like the course which is a plus.
Trainer likes him a lot for sure.
Whether he proves better than those he will face is another thing,but he looks like a real live contender,and he does seem to think hes his main hope next season.

Last Instalment imo was the best novice going into Cheltenham,and its a real shame he did not make it,certainly for the race,and also for my pocket!!Laugh

But to be fair to Bobsworth,he put on a good run when it mattered after some indifferent jumping going round right handed,and its obvious hes much better left handed.

I would agree that Gigginstown have a strong hand,and will have a fair idea re Bobsworth,but of course they are all open to improvement between now and then,and how much each horse does improve or indeed if they do is unknown.
