Not exactly word for word. Used a bit of license to help point you all in the right direction.

If he is back fit, with all the rain we have been getting I think Pando will swim through the mud and win easily.

love pandorama, gutted when e got injured at the start of last season....his last experience of newbury wasn't a pleasant one was it.

Giant Bolster is going for the Betfair Chase

We have a market in the Ante Post section. Just needs prices now. Thanks Betfair

I was on Carruthers last year - one of the rides of the year by one of the worst jocks around but that day he was golden.
|

By:
il have a ton at 15s if anyone fancies laying it
|

By:
sorry wrong topic

Duffy he was badly hamperred from memory. He is some bit of kit with cut in the ground though, I really like the horse.

Alan King has said Hold On Julio's next race will be the Hennessy.
|
|
By:
Mccain said he doesn't like the Hennessy and as he has the National in mind for Weird Al can't think he will run. Also said he will run in the Charlie Hall I think.
|
|
By:
Wonder why Donald doesn't like the Hen ffs one of the races of the year.
|
|
By:
Pertemps Final winner Cape Tribulation could have the Hennessy on his agenda after probably kicking off in the John Smiths Hdle at Wetherby
|
|
By:
Really fancy Helpston for the 3.40 at Fakenham tomorrow. Followed up by a serious crack at the Hennessy. Think this horse could be a real progressive sort this season.
|
|
By:
Don't fancy Helpston any more.
|
|
By:
shockster - sorry i know its after timing but really couldn't have Helpston at all today. Thought he is ridiculously badly handicapped and todays race was hot. Couldn't believe there was support for it. I was saying to a mate this morning I could see Helpston going off 14's as no one will want to touch it.
|
|
By:
That's where we differ RG. I think he is well handicapped and I believe the weight of money today supports it. FWIW I got 9/1 last night, but for whatever reason he was beat after 4 fences today. Just can't believe this was his true running.
 |
|
By:
We'll see how the season goes for it. FWIW I reckon he'll need to get down to around 128 to be competive which isn't happening anytime soon.
|
|
By:
i wouldn't give up on him just yet shockster.
He's much better than that. |
|
By:
I'd have an even bet with anyone that Helpston doesn't win off 140 or above this season.
|
|
By:
clarification: Handicap - 8 runners or more with at least 2/3 of field in handicap.

Obviously Diamond Harry has to come back from a poor season last year but is undeniably well handicapped getting a stone from Burton Port and likely to be better suited to the demands of this race. He was the only horse to go with Kauto Star in the early stages of last year's Betfair Chase (went off 7-2 against him and Long Run) and has been at his best in the early part of the season for 3 years plus flat left hand tracks and soft ground appear to be his optimium. The trainer's horses seem in good nick after today and Noel Fehily would be an ideal jockey. I love this horse and am sure he's got a race like this in him if he can be got right. Can't see any of last year's novices who look particularly well treated and a very open race there for the taking.
|
|
By:
not sure I agee with last years novices dont look strong
|
|
By:
indeed
do you think Restless Harry will get an entry as his hurdling career is pointless ? plus they could had sent him to yogi |
|
By:
restless harry has as much chance of winning the henn as me sonko
|
|
By:
get in, im all in
his chase form in defeat wasnt that bad imo |
|
By:
really enjoying the handicaps coming up this year sonko 2 x cracking threads on here this year.
|
|
By:
Howdi, the message wasn't that last year's novices weren't strong but, just as with The Paddy Power, they all seem quite highly rated which means that I don't think they're very well treated. This might mean that like both races last year, there's room for a seemingly more exposed horse to win.
|
|
By:
if sonofvic went for it i reckon hed go well off 140
|
|
By:
Entries out on Tuesday (unless delayed for a day because of the Paddy Power entries or summit), then we can all take a serious look at the race (and/or congratulate Howdi on divining the winner weeks ago).
|
|
By:
ok booster got ya pal.
|
|
By:
Looks a relatively uninspiring field tbh
 Carruthers again?  |
|
By:
Where's the decs Stront?
|
|
By:
They are up on the RP site (perhaps they shouldn't be there today...). You may need to search for a horse that's entered (clue - Burton Port) - then its entries, then the card.
|
|
By:
Cheers
|
|
By:
Yeah, hope BP stays in to add a bit of quality as others at the top end are unlikely to run. Overall though it does fall short. Still it will be competitive as always and will be a great weekend.
|
|
By:
I think Bobs Worth will run. Tidal Bay might if soft or worse.
|
|
By:
Then BP will prob run to keep the weight down for Bobsworth. Tidal Bay is entered in the 3m Hurdle at Wetherby and surely can't win off 166 and top weight in this?
|
|
By:
He's got such a phenomenal record on soft I wouldn't write him off if that's the ground. What he did in the Whitbread was extraordinary in the conditions. That said, I reckon his targets for the season are the Welsh and Grand Nationals.
|
|
By:
I really like TB, but has been hammered for the Whitbread win and something has to be improving and well in. I backed him a couple of years back for the national and he came down, but would be good to see him go in. He's a character alright.
