Backed him for the Betfair at huge odds for the reasons above (his Greatwood third behind Menorah looks impressive, even this far down the line). I knew my fate at Newbury with the pootling pace they went - he needs a gallop at any distance - but was far from displeased with this comeback effort. Think he will have enough time to recover to make any 'bounce' factor an irrelevance. Just be good to see him in the decs for starters. |

agreed, also backed him for Betfair ew at 66/1 - one of those when even though the bet went down, you knew there would be another day.
Good luck, Roger - I guess they could conceivably go for the County but agree Coral Cup looks the right race. |
|
By:
Also like this one for the Coral chaps. Would definitely prefer Hutch on it, though.

Big ask for an 11yr old, but clearly Catch Me is having a go at repeating last year. Very quiet season last year then ran a blinder to be second in the Pertemps Final, and arguably could have won with a bit more luck in running.

Nearly died on JP so very lucky indeed......Weld have any news ?

By:
Really CMIYC? when was that?
He seems very happy with him so far.... |

By:
Minella Class for the coral. top class novice and a really eye catching run at newbury (take a look)over too far on too soft a ground, gave the wide outside to no one and traveled best of anything until 3 out. no other entries but the coral cup. 50-1 with hills.
|

By:
I saw that run, Mahle, really interesting, kept out wide all the way then put behind a couple of horses the moment it started to go forward.
|

By:
Interesting that Mahle,them the kind of prices we want to be getting in
 keep them coming people,not long now.Obviously next week when the weights are out then the markets really start to go crackers |

13 Feb 13 21:30 Edeymi (Tony Martin) county hurdle/ martin pipe[/i] I thought much the same though assumed the Coral Cup would be the plan (he's not in the County entries) - took 16/1 nrnb with VCbet for the Coral Cup. Will cover on the Martin Pipe as well. [i] ReaseHeath 19 Feb 13 14:45 what about General Miller in Coral Cup? Gentle reintroduction after long absence at Ascot on Saturday and conspicuous omission from Hendo's RP Cheltenham stable tour this morning (I'm taking latter as a +ve not a -ve!)[/i] Also keen on General Miller and would think the County would be his race. |

By:
At the risk of spoiling the price as I have not had a bet yet, I think that Bouggler could be interesting in the Pertemps. He is hard to keep sound so I won't be backing him until the day.

Sam Winner, Sam Winner, Sam Winner. It's probably obvious to you all already but i don't think you will not find a better plotted horse then this one. He is at least a stone ahead of the handicapper at the moment. IMO. His record over hurdles at Cheltenham is excellent and who could forget the way he came up the hill in the Triumph, beaten by a couple of now CH frontrunners. Still untested over 3m but don't think it will be an issue given he was staying on at the finish in the Qualifier race over 2m 6f with the ground conditions totally against him. Also helps when the master PN says these things about him "we haven't seen the best of him yet over hurdles" and "i think the trip will bring out the best of him". Already backed him NRFB @ 11/2 but will be doubling up if he gets his favoured "Good" ground on the day. glta.

"I think that Bouggler could be interesting in the Pertemps"
This one's been on my watch list this season. Think he definitely has a big handicap in him but after my rant above about Sam Winner, it better not be the Pertemps. Will have a saver just in case. gltu. |

Corals went 8-1 about Sam Winner for about 20 mins when they first priced the race up last week !
|
|
By:
Carlito Brigante - Few sighters over the fences earlier in the season then had a quiet spin on the a/w last week. Won the Coral Cup off 142. When last seen his OR was 140 over fences, which is the ceiling rating for the Novice Handicap on Day One.
|
|
By:
The Cockney Mackem - 1 entry, 1 run this season over hurdles with tongue strap fitted. Came 2nd in Plate last year. Looks obvious plot.
|
|
By:
have been doing handicap entries today and have spotted a few with plenty in hand, just need to see final decs, will post them then, too speculative now regarding targets - all chasers by the way, hurdlers are much trickier
|
|
By:
agree cvb, eyecatching run fto as well. Looks like he has improved.
|
|
By:
I'm not sure whether Quanti is a plot or whether he's just gone at the game! Will be back close to his winning mark come the festival.
|
|
By:
I think he may have had a wind op in summer, it's quite common for a tongue strap to be fitted after a wind op.
BJG emailed Twister to ask him if he has. I've backed him e/w 25/1 and he'll be on my list to follow the money if/when it comes for him at the track. Along with Son of Flicka of course. |
|
By:
Quanty will be back on 145 I'd say, and he's another to keep an eye on.
Can't go from good enough to try in a Grade 1 at end of last year to no hoper. Looks a plot. |
|
By:
Think I have just found the Martin Pipe winner (assuming Eedeymi doesn't run in it) and it's bound to be a massive gamble too - all will be revealed.
|
|
By:
Moose - Carlito Brigante will be off 137.

im keen on bensalem in the JLT on the tuesday.Ran about 3 wks ago its 1st run for a couple of years thornton gave it an easy time when it blew up. it is a class act just wondering what weight it will be given. anyone got any ideas ?
|
|
By:
bensalem carried 11st-2lb in 2011 (when rated 143, same as he is now) taking the provisional top weight for this years race into account that have ratings, bold sir brian 155 = 11-12lb and he was to run, that would give bensalem 11st, but that is based on bold sir brian.
|
|
By:
Bold Sir Brian is entered at Kelso on Saturday and I seem to recall his trainer saying they might go there and bypass the festival - he needs a confidence booster after his crashing fall in the Argento - I s'pose it's conceivable he could run in both if he performs well on Sat and comes out of the race bouncing.

Come on uncle stop teasing.......and the winner is?.........

C'mon Uncle, we both know it is Bonisland!
|

By:
Don't think it's Bonisland, I've got it narrowed down to 4
 |

By:
I'm interested in if Dursy Sound turns up here, certainly not his running lto and has a very favourable mark. It's a Gimme could also turn up here, he's won over 2m4f before.
Both interest. |
|
By:
Edmund Kean, 1 entry and probably be Pipe's Imperial Cup oss too. Will be smashed up soon I'd imagine.
|
|
By:
Katkeau still in betting for Martin Pipe when he surely won't get it.
I went through the entries and Edmund Kean is the only Pipe horse I can see going off fav unless Gervy Chambertan runs. |

Edmund Kean, 1 entry and probably be Pipe's Imperial Cup oss too. Will be smashed up soon I'd imagine. It wasn't the horse I had in mind but I think you might be right CV. Just had a ton @14/1 nrnb with Victor - if he runs Gevrey Chambertain elsewhere at Cheltenham then this will surely be much shorter. Some suggestion he will aim Edmund Kean at the EBF final at Sandown instead - but thats what nrnb is for.  |

By:
The Cockney Mackem and Edeymi 20/1 and 14s nr no bet boom.

By:
Royal Reveille Pertemps. Sam Winner looks the one but this Ted Walsh horse is a serious plot.
|

By:
@Moose I must have missed that A/w spin for Carlito, decent cheltenham form, two wins and I like the beating of Doomtaline who may not have won but has been a very reliable yardstick. Very interesting considering his mark has come down by three pounds for what was not a disastrous run behind Dynaste.
Much prefer him for the Pultney as think 2m 4f is the correct distance (C&D winner in October) and would have some of the best hurdles form of any runner in the race. He could be a lot better than an OR 137. |
