Very strong hand this year compared to the last few years!
Nichols Canyon looks the biggest threat to Faugheen in the Champion Hurdle.
Shaneshill prominent in the ante post betting for the JLT.
Black Hercules prominent in the ante post betting for the RSA and 4 miler.
Bellshill looks to have a great chance in one of the novice hurdles.
Yorkhill also has a good chance in one of the novice hurdles.
Felix Yonger can't be ignored wherever he turns up either.
No doubt they'll have a couple for the bumper again along with the usual handicap runners. They also partly own Augusta Kate who I would love to see at Cheltenham!

Do you think Augusta Kate will be aimed over hurdles with a view of a crack at the new mares race or will she stick to bumpers?

By:
Aintree bumper according to the owner and trainer

Don't think Felix Yonger will go anywhere near Cheltenham myself. If Augusta Kate keeps progressing I think they will struggle to resist the temptation to run at the Festival. Wylie loves the race. You can probably take out Willie's Gigginstown horses because they hate the race.

If Felix was my horse, I couldn't resist the temptation to run in the Champion Chase. Place claims at the very least given the lack of depth to the race. Just my opinion though.

9 years old with absolutely nothing to lose. In good form, has form on all ground, can't see why not.

Nichols really interested what he does next week, I think he'll end up in WH if he fails to live to what Mullins done to an unfit Faugheen by racing him at Curragh only 4 days before Morgiana and Ruby tactics failing him by overconfidence. Arctic and Identity might both beat him in the Ryanair so Mullins could end up instead with a strong contender in the WH.
out of rest I only like Bellshill. Felix Yonger exposed. Yorkhill overrated. Shaneshill and Black Hercules both below top class but depends on what they'll have against them on the day. Black Hercules also fails to deliver on big days, maybe a training issue who knows. Bellshill the only one really promising at this stage, I can't wait to see him again. |

Bellshill gets his chance to put down a marker tomorrow and Shaneshill meets a meaningful rival in Kitten Rock. I thought Yorkhill looked alright today to be fair but I don't have a clue where he'll end up running. There's a rumour here that all Wylie's might dodge Min in the Supreme, so we could see more than one of his in one of the longer races. Of all of them, I really like the look of Up For Review. Looks like a real chaser and it would be nice to think he might line up in the RSA in 2017 after taking this year's Albert.

Have just backed with Bet365 Felix Yonger Each Way @ 33/1 NRNB & BOG for the QMCC. Un De Sceaux apart I think it's pretty average with Sprinter and SDG looking past their best. Think the 33/1 is pretty generous and money back if he doesn't show.

Surprised many people are playing down sprinter.. Chelt performance was v good, kempton not so good but clearly chelt better track for him. If hendo gets the prep right I think he has an excellent chance particularly vs UDS which can easily fall and which didn't exactly put away gods own in the arkle and which hasn't been tested by serious senior horses yet..

Sprinter was amazing and he may well have 1 last hurrah, but it now looks hard work for him. UDS may fall but I'm looking a bit outside the box. As far as I'm concerned Felix Yonger should have run in the Arkle the year before last and may well have won it. He is now winning on Heavy when it's well documented he's much better on good and has won 5 of his last 6. Yes he is 10 which maybe a bit old, however UDS apart, the novices of last year don't appear to be that good so he might not have to improve to place. I just think 33/1 NRNB is way too big IMO.

Where's the 33/1??
|
|
By:
Hendo won't get Sprinter any better than he his now but other horses may improve,I would expect a QM winner to smash a horse like Vibro Valtat.
33/1 is big for Felix,he is underrated imo and no reason why he couldn't place. |

By:
33/1 NRNB at Bet365 for Felix Younger. BOG too
|

By:
Got it. Thanks Shockster! I think that's a great call.

Up For Review is short price for Ab

By:
yep,good call indeed.
33 nrnb E/W,lot worse bets than that around. Race could well carve up to a few runners. |
