Geraghty booked to ride on Wednesday at Newbury over 2m3f.

So Thomas Brown has since won at Cheltenham beating Robinsfirth, with several lengths back to Zeroshadesofgrey (who probably needs further).

Tea For Two is going to now be rated high 140s/150 after the lanzarote, having won twice since. he was ridden badly in the race out sam won however.

foryourinformation has also won since.

cut to 16s for neptune.

Interesting one. Form certainly working out quite well as you say. Not been as hyped as Hendo's usually are unless I've missed it?

taking a line through Thomas brown is a false premise, he is a poor jumper and never lifted a leg at newbury, out sam greatly flattered.

out sam found nil under pressure in his two irish point defeats. he was beaten fair and square by strange ways at dromahane last march and that horse was tailed off in a handicap at thurles last week rated 90.

out sam is a million to win at the festival.

wouldnt worry about that he's clearly a different horse now.

im not saying the form is literal with thomas brown or tea for two but he's beaten 3 subsequent winners.

look at the horse peddlers cross just edged out in his PTP or simonsigs PTP.

and we're talking about a 16/1 shot here, if he wins well next time he could be single figures

Entered over 2m6f at Ascot on Saturday. Maybe the Albert Bartlett is a possibility.

Declared for the 4.05 at Ascot tomorrow and as said above his Newbury win looks hot stuff now with 2nd, 3rd & 4th all winning since.

However, the 4th that day was Foryourinformation beaten 7 1/2L at level weights.  He then went on to finish 2nd to VALUE AT RISK again level weights but was absolutely destroyed by 22L by the eased down winner.  He runs at Cheltenham next week and it will be interesting to see how Out Sam tomorrow and Value At Risk progress.

Value At Risk looked very good watch the replay!!

From reading his comments I don't think Skelton has this season in mind for Value At Risk as I think he views him as a very good prospect for next season. Doesn't mean he won't run in March but I don't think Skelton is too worried about that either way.

I think VAR will def run at the festival, all adds to the trainers profile and especially one with a live chance. As many of the trainers say I'm sure he'll be a nice chaser but if he can take a nice hurdle with him on the way, then they won't be arguing.

its good they're going over 2m6f tomorrow as he needs to prove he stays. he's shown the speed, it was slowly run lto not enough use was made of thomas brown or tea for two and out sam came there going very well. if he stays well tomorrow neptune will be perfect.

hmmm...disappointed with that

Was decent enough giving weight away on testing ground.

But personally i dont think he is as good the 2 he beat at newbury in a muddling race.
Report Wicketd January 17, 2015 4:58 PM GMT
probably not. henderson said he won't go to cheltenham, possibly 3m at aintree.
