I'm hoping Brelade might do a Windsor Park - come back from a 3 length defeat in the Deloitte and win the Neptune, overcoming his previous conquerer (well you can only hope!) - Brelade is 5 times the price of Bacardys - I do think Bacardys would be better in the Bartlett myself.

Assuming he doesn't run in a handicap obviously!

By:
Yeh,I'm still not sure myself Chief.....Neptune or AB,had similar odds on both races,so not bothered in that regard. But which race is best chance for horse?
I do think though that Death Duty is a solid fav and will prove hard to beat, maybe Mullins thinks the same? |

Bit of a head scratcher, the Deloitte. Bacardys looked quite a bit outpaced at some points, but came into his own down the home straight. I'm not sure whether that was because Bunk off Early was green and weak on only his second hurdles start or Bacardys is a strong stayer - probably a bit of both.
I suppose my only issue with Bacardys in the Neptune is that it might happen a bit too quick for him on good ground if he looked a bit outpaced over 18f on soft ground. However, that could just be his running style and he always finds more? We'll soon find out! |

Bacardys would be my bet if the race was tomorrow, already backed Oscars. A horse that Usually wins the neptune has enough speed to win over 2 miles at cheltenham, get the impression tha Bacardys would struggle to do that but then again its down to the pace of the race. Personally i think Bacardys would win the albert but with the delloite form he has a decent enough chance in the neptune odds wise.
Anyone know the last time a Rossington trial winner won at Cheltenham and the one before that ? |

Another one bites the dust. Now my worst antepost book (for non-runners) ever.
|

By:
Brelade taken out of all handicaps and only left in this, so assume he's an intended runner, so topped up a little more at 25 nrnb.
|
|
By:
wellchief - I am with you on Brelade at the prices he is great value for money. Ran within 3 lengths of both Bacardys and Bunk Off Early in G1 recently and previously was beaten 2 lengths by a very well fancied Saturnas as a 4 year old in a G1. Prior to that won a 30 runner maiden which included Battleford. As a 5 year old he could have significant improvement to come.

Neon Wolf now "more than likely" to run in Neptune with ground drying and Finian's Oscar out according to Harry Fry. From Matt Chapman

shattered love has every chance in it with mares allowance and all

I have a feeling NW won't run in the Neptune. It will be either the supreme or skip Cheltenham. Ground will be too quick for him on Wednesday.
Just my view. Forty |
