Any developments on this Horse of late?

I like Paul Nicholls. He is smart to the extent where you can never accuse him of lying, because he is just simply enthusiastic to the maximum. He is one of the reasons i will always like jumps ahead of flats. I'm a punters sort of punter, but i think it's time people should respect your nicholls and hendersons of this world. Without them the jumps go to flat..think about it. Without them the jumps go to flat .....flatline.

had to back him at 7/2 for the imperial. doesnt look to be much of a race after a glance or two.

What a **** dog

Well,This is gonna be the Mole's season

The dream is still on

feck me the dream is alive. Come on Adrian Mole

Well happy with that,he's woken the QM up for me.

yep,that was impressive for sure....and he gave them a bid lead at the start.

What do we think about SDG......Non runner??

Well they will want to go for sure mate,but a late return to the track after setbacks and then jump like that aint good preparation.
Guess it depends how he is over the coming weeks,and if hes picked up a knock.

Absolutely Chief,cannot be giving ground away like that in the biggee.
If he starts ok, as you say mate hes a big player.

Saturday’s Game Spirit Chase lost its principal player when reigning champion two-miler Sire de Grugy, back from his injury-enforced absence, departed at the third fence from home, writes John de Moraville (Handicapper).

It was too far out to gauge how the 172-rated favourite, who had also clouted the previous obstacle, would have fared. But the race did confirm that the quirky but hugely talented winner, Mr Mole, remains firmly on the upgrade.

Despite shying away from the tape and losing ten lengths at the start, this thirteen-length defeat of Castleford Chase winner Upsilon Bleu represents another career-best performance from Mr Mole, promoting him to a new mark of 165.

By adding Newbury’s Grade 2 feature to his victory in last month’s Sandown handicap, Mr Mole was emulating the double achieved by his stable’s former super-star Master Minded seven years ago.

Master Minded (who, incidentally, had earlier unseated in the same graduation chase that Mr Mole won at Exeter in December) went on to annex the 2008 Champion Chase by a blistering nineteen lengths. It’s hard to envisage Saturday’s winner basking in victory at Cheltenham come March 11th but ratings suggest that he has every chance of making the frame.

The top 2m performance of the season so far was recorded by Mr Mole’s much-improved stable-mate Dodging Bullets, whose 171 in Ascot’s Grade 1 Clarence House Chase last month was gained at the expense of the returning 2013 champion Sprinter Sacre (168).

Back from an even longer absence than Sire de Grugy, it would be unfair to expect Sprinter Sacre to ever match his record-breaking achievements (and rating of 188) of two years ago.

But with that Ascot race under his belt, the Henderson star is the bookmakers’ favourite to emulate the mighty Moscow Flyer (2003 and 2005) by regaining the 2m chase crown in four weeks’ time in what promises to be a captivating showdown.

The atmosphere at chelt might just blow his mind! Certainly a fascinating renewal
