Shangani will be better placed in the Grand Annual imo, a race where novices have a good record. 2m4f might just find him out here. Nice horse though.

Attaglance is Nick Mordin's Festival banker. A bold selection considering it's a novice handicap chase, but he eulogises about his jumping in his weekly report, and his wins in the Martin Pipe and at Aintree show he's a spring horse ideally suited to 20 furlongs. Jefferson's a trainer I like and knows how to prepare one, so the 12s seemed decent value.

that was mine too cunning man

By:
Attaglance makes the Top 5 shortlist according to my trends analysis too.
|
|
By:
Every winner finished first or second last time out ??

By:
given it's hard to get a novice chaser in on a mark much below its hurdles rating these days, Attaglance is potentially remarkably well-in off 133 compared to a hurdles mark of 155....his jumping seemed fine at Muss last time, notably when the race developed into a sprint over the last 3, the worry is that he had jumped right when racing left-handed over fences prior to that according to formbook (need to watch vid)

02 Mar 13 20:03 Taking a big chance with the Andy. Can't train white mice these days. Oh that he had a fraction of the talent of his late dad Bob. I had been led to believe he wasnt well at all...is this incorrect? |
|
By:
Andy has been unwell. But on the mend now. He has been fully involved in the prep of the Druid and training of other horses.

how often are you at the yard sabolah?
|
|
By:
Try to get down there monthly, bit more frequent at the moment.
A couple of updated, last scope and bloods all good. Jockey change is likely, just firming up plans now. |

By:
Aidan Coleman booked and the market is starting to wake up to this horse's potential now best priced 10-1.
|
|
By:
Shangani is the horse in question
|
|
By:
Attaglance unlikely to be declared due to ground according to Twitter

Handbrake off Colour Squadron and he will bolt up
|
|
By:
Bally I am with you on the softer going this Colour Squadron is one of the bets of the meeting
|
|
By:
At least my 2 bets are running. The Druids Nephew and Arthurs Pass still my choices. The latter was still trading at 40 plus yesterday when the only doubt was whether he would make the cut but only 18 now. Very strange.

By:
Ground against CB.
|
|
By:
with Attaglance out I'm on Colour Squadron
|
|
By:
Bar 1 did special 15/1 CB with 15 days to go, albeit he down to run but I feel I threw a ton away on him now ground against him.
Will have 2nd bet and agree CS, even with a slip saddle he nearly beat module and had handbrake on twice since. Will only get shorter. |
|
By:
My concern about Colour Squadron is his jumping. He was certainly ridden conservatively at Newbury and Exeter but that does not explain some pretty awful jumping despite travelling well. His jumping might fall apart completely if under pressure.
|
|
By:
I didnt think he jumped that badly, just had a rewatch of all his novice races. He might jump better with throttle out and plus we know he goes on soft ground.

Colour Squadron (6), The Druids Nephew (7), Carlito Brigante (8), Shangani (8), Hazy Tom (16), Johns Spirit (16)

slightly dissapointing 4th but still a good profit at 16-1 e.w
