Irish have not won this for good while,but impressed by Blood Cotil in 2 runs so far will face toughest task to date Sunday week. If winning this will be vying to be fav in wide open race. Awaiting the unraced Henderson/Nicholls horses still to come out,with winner of Adonis having cracking record.Maybe we havent seen the winner run yet?

rolling star looked very good at cheltenham but if the ground dries up who knows what will prefer faster going
|
|
By:
Rolling Star did look decent,only problem was Henderson mentioned he had few more to run so will wait as bit shot imo.
|
|
By:
Diakali only one ive backed,was very impressed with him the other day.
Needs to settle better,but won despite that very easily. Hopefully by March he will be travelling much better. |

By:
I expect Kashmire Peak to shrink in the Triumph betting when it impresses this Sunday.
|
|
By:
I'll wait until the Adonis :)
|
|
By:
The Adonis will be an important trial with a big bearing on the market. That looked an above average race last week at Cheltenham and I cannot see how the Nicholls horse could reverse the form. I have "invested" a few quid at 20s, the Nicholls, unseen so far, Lac Fontana. Wide open at this stage though

Blood Cotil has impressed me the most of those we've seen
Does anyone know anything about Mullin's unraced entry, something Du Noyer?? |
|
By:
Bluebird Viconte Du Noyer owned by Potts, not entered in next week in Triumph,won 1/3 in France lto win April @ Auteuil Blood Cotil btn approx 5 lenghts,reversing previous run where Blood Cotil finished in front of him. Would need to have un pretty soon id imagine to turn at Cheltenham.

Would need to have Run
|
|
By:
Sounds interesting; any of our Irish friends know anything more about him?
|
|
By:
seen this before with Minsk...very well hyped but came out very late and did not get enough experience to do himself justice....now the horse has gone backwards terribly.....would love to know if there are plans for this horse but the market looks as though a run is not likely
|
|
By:
whats the general feeling behind Swnymor?... it's tentatively on my mind at 16/1 at the moment for this open looking event.... he won't be having another run before the festival.
Favourites:Rolling Star (6), Far West (8), Blood Cotil (12), Diakali (12), Kashmir Peak (16), Our Conor (16), Swnymor (16), Irish Saint (20), LUnique (20), Lac Fontana (20), Caid Du Berlais (25), Hidden Justice (25), Ruacana (25), Sametegal (25), Alexandre Six (33), |

Now got Blood Cotil backed with the VC offer,he runs this weekend and imo will either shorten or become a non runner.
If you aint seen his juvenile run as a 3yr old last year,have a look,cannot remember a more impressive jumping display from a 3yr old hurdler. MTM, Swnymor is another i like and am keeping an eye on him,16 aint a bad price imo. |
|
By:
Hope you are correct Budd has looked good so far,strange went from 10s to 12 with VC.
|
|
By:
Yeh,i was quiet happy with that stevo.
Hes up against Diakali whose also mullins horse,and im thinking that depending what happens one of them wont be running in the Triumph.Ive already backed Diakali with the VC offer,and the plan is to have one running at a shorter price than i took and a free bet with the other. Thats the plan,but we all now what can happen!! |
|
By:
Anyone have any views on Our Conor? Slick over hurdles and has won both starts to date, a good run this weekend and he has to enter the Triumph picture
|
|
By:
Decent on soft going so far like all Irish challengers so far, whoever wins Saturday will be close to the top of market for sure. Personally think Blood Cotil maybe a bit classier.
|
|
By:
As far as I know Diakali goes straight to Cheltenham, I'd say Blood Cotil will go too.
|
|
By:
does the NRFB offer stand in the VDbet offices?
|
|
By:
Bet Victor Nr free bet all races.
|
|
By:
I backed Caid Du Berlais at 33's after his run at Chepstow at Christmas. Got a bit outpaced but I liked the way he finished the race. He runs this week in the Betfair Hurdle, but do get the feeling he won't line up in the Triumph, perhaps the Fred Winter.
|
|
By:
Hidden Justice at a price for me
|
|
By:
Do we think both of these Mullins horses will run tomorrow in the Spring Juvenile?
|
|
By:
Blood Cotil should run with Diakali coming out.
|
|
By:
Gassin Golf w+p NRNB
|
|
By:
Blarney both declared to run at present.
|
|
By:
I see that but would not see the point of running these two against each other this close to the festival.
|
|
By:
yep, seen they're both still booked with no confirmed jockey booking, so figure one will come out.
|
|
By:
*still entered
|
|
By:
interesting one from paul nicholls running tomorrow LAC FONTANA
|
|
By:
Townend is on Diakali, E Mullins Blood Cotil
|
|
By:
Okay, quite fancy the Hughes horse to win in Ireland.
|
|
By:
I was really impressed with Our Conor today. He destroyed decent oppo and has a nice flat pedigree for the better ground. Taken the plunge at 7/1, think he should 2/3 points shorter.

Thats the plan,but we all now what can happen!! Yep,we all know what can happen!!!!  So now what,will i have 2 non runners and 2 free bets?? Think likely Mullins will still run one of them,probably Diakali,but cannot see him reversing with Our Conor on what i saw yesterday. |
|
By:
i agree having backed dalkali yesterday and for the triumph , i think he'll really have his work cut out to turn that form around , our conor was very impressive....
|

By:
Far West matched at 19
 |
|
By:
for £0 strange...
|
|
By:
