I'd not realised Lulamba and Salvator Mundi shared the same owner. But, I was impressed with East India Dock. I think he'll give Lulamba a proper race come March. I believe the former will have the edge over Palladium even if Palladium improves a lot.

When i tried to do some "googling" earlier, it said Binocular was never intended for the Triumph that year.
Maybe because of JPs other horse. I would be shocked if Henderson did not run Lulamba in the juvenile race. |

The last 4 year old to win the Supreme was Hors La Loi in 1999, beating the ill fated Joe Mac and the well backed Cardinal Hill who came down 2 out.
Binocular as a 4 year old in 2008 finished 2nd to Captain Cee Bee, of the same ownership of the winner. I will now look for other 4 year olds who have since tried! |

By:
Since 2008 only FOUR 4 year olds have run in the Supreme Novices.
2009 Torpichen 2011 Marsh Warbler 2018 Knudsen 2019 Fakir D’oudariies |

Surely East India Dock should be fav, especially after the run on Saturday. Lulamba's price seems to be based on reputation rather than form. It would not surprise me if Lulamba ducked East India Dock altogether and runs in the Supreme.

The Donnelley's already have the favourite for the Supreme (at least until the DRF). Surely they'll split them up.

True enough, but Henderson does not like to run his "star" horses, unless he is sure they will win.
|
|
By:
No reason Henderson will not run his star horses at the festival.
Can't remember him ducking the meeting in previous seasons. But agree with East India Dock. His form on the track should have him as favourite for the Triumph. People who have backed Lulamba and Palladium on rumours have a decent opponent. |

Hendo had Peace..and another one year in the same year. I can still remember backing the wrong one.

Had 1st 3 Top Notch & Hargam.

My main bet of the festival is East India Dock, can’t really see much else this year 5/2 is ok I have him 15/8 fav on the day assuming no key withdrawals.

By:
Lulamba and Palladium are both 100% ok, according to Hendo. Hendo: "I do not need to do anything with them in terms of racing and they will go straight to Cheltenham. They do not need a run at this time, and in all probability they'll have a racecourse gallop under our own terms".
Really? Both horses are so inexperienced over hurdles. I just hope they truly are 100% in every sense. |

By:
He's been replaced as the fav by East India Dock. I think the swerving of the Adonis, and the defeat of Mondo Man at Kempton today were probable reasons why.

Could be a money-back opportunity in the Juvenile Hurdle on thursday. He's best price 6/4.
