Although he's been invincible round the Colwck Park track, i still find it impossible to back Ballymac Eske at 11/8. Farloe Tango has a verdict over him and think Eske will find it harder to pick some of these up as he did Bridge Honcho in the Olympic. Would have had to have been about a 2/1 shot to interest me, but too late now, bets already struck.

Mainly gone for 18.5 and 18.0 Farloe Ironman on here, Betfair. The Derby runner-up clocked 28.16 (only +10 fast), when winning in the semis and judged on his disposal of Bridge Ruth in a calc 29.54 over 515m Hove, a time which isnt too far behind Eske's runs at the seaside track, looks back to his peak. He'll do for me at the prices.

Had to have a go on Mags Gamble, won 7 of his last 8 races and got 10.5 on here. He excelled himself at Newcastle and if converting that form to Nottingham will surely give Eske a harder target than usual to pass.

One last little play, 19.5 Holdem Spy. Bit concerned about his hot opening heat coz he's not the quickest early but possesses tremendous gears and could go all the way, with the rub of the green.

Think Lister could be out of luck on this occasion. Dont really fancy Taylors Sky or Boher Paddy and Farloe Tango may need to gain racing room during qualification.

Good luck!

Personally Addy, think youve got every chance of a qualifying place Saturday. Wouldnt be surprised to see any of the 6 in the final, so you could say youve got a 50/50 shot? Good thing is she's in winning form, usually counts for a lot.

Good luck!

thanks woody - i just dont see her leading this. i think there is definite trouble at the bend i just hope she is brave and skips clear of it rather than holding back or being on the end of it - would be delighted if she caused it cutting the bend.

Ghost, the races (BAGS/BEGS)will be shown in betting shops in the high street. You should be able to get commentary, only, on William Hill radio.

imo, this competitition is like a mini-Derby such is the class of some of the protagonists. Excited and really looking forward to it.

Got Ironman, Mags and Spy antepost but of tonight's races, fancy:

5/2 Boher Paddy. Loathe to back against antepost bet Ironman but Paddy looks the value to me at the odds, on this occasion.

6/1 Hather George, trained by the Master Charlie Lister, his Sheffield form on a par with Head Iton Hayesy, imo and that's only a 2/1 shot. Teejays Bluehawk beat the smart Lemon Pluto in the Northern Puppy Derby. A fine win of 28.58s calc, considering Mags Gamble won the All England Cup in a 28.40s calc. Only trouble is convinced Pluto has improved since then, Bluehawk does it the hard way and may need modicum of luck finding a way through.

7/2 Mags Gamble. If he can run Nottingham as well as he does Newcastle, sure Eske will have a race on his hands catching Mags, then needs to get by also. Wont be as easy as many think, imo

Good Luck!

This thread became the Wonder/PF show last night! Laugh Wink.

Very pleased with 5/2 Paddy 7/2 Mags and aftertiming, the nearly 15/1 double.

Thought i was unlucky with 6/1 Hather George, didnt get the rub of the green but only narrowly beaten. Hayesy ran a very disappointing race again

At the start of the thread, said didnt fancy Paddy and Sky, still dont, but that's referring to the outright win.

Fatty, the way Bertie closed down Paddy run-in, dont think Paddy would make a proper six-bend dog. Feel the same Sky.

Very disappointing antepost with Spy and Ironman both out, thought they would have done much better than that.

Farloe Tango only chasing intermitently, penny not dropping and has his own ideas about the game. Had my doubts about Bluehawk, seems i was right in thinking Pluto big improver since Newcastle. Longwood Fantasy showing some consistency now, see how long it lasts.

Disagree with you about Eske, PF. Now is the ideal time to go to Shelbourne. Couldnt have worked out better, if you ask me. Eske broke well, bang there, but murdered at the bend. Knocked all over the place and any lesser dog would have been beaten miles, not a thereabouts fourth. Only concern for me, this was his most competitive race and could be a sign of things to come in top-quality all-aged company. His gears are still absolute though and personally think he would take plenty of beating at Shelbourne

Don't worry about it, i've done the same and read things wrong before. Blush

I think Grand Crus is too short now, Long Run got beat in this race off a similar mark the year he won the King George and Gold Cup although he usually needs a run to bring him on. He looks ridicolously well in considering what Silviniaco Conti did in the Charlie Hall but it's still a tough race. Most likely winner and could well hack up but at the prices i'd rather not play.

I bet Forpadydeplasterer @ 33/1 e/w the other day, think he's on a very good mark, still retains plenty of ability and likes Cheltenham. Just wanted the rain to stay away which it hasn't so confidence has gone down a fair bit, hopefully he can still run a place for me.

Despite nightmares of Cheltenham, still a big Grand Crus fan. Hills were going priority odds 4/1 but not accepting and when i phoned, told it was a limited offer, waste of time in other words. Just this instant saw 5/2 with James, but it was Scotch mist. Had to go with 9/4. Saw money back if your horse 2nd to Grand Crus betting with the Racing Post app, but dunno what that is, thought it was short for appointment!

No strong views but rooting for Mags Gamble at 10.5 antepost on here, Betfair.

Three great and intersting semis, with all runners well known.

Mags faces some worthy rivals in Sawpit, Bluehawk and Whittle. Sky has Fantasy and Paddy to beat and who knows what Tango will do?

From a selfish point of view could do with Mags qualifying and going for the big win in the final, with Sky and Tango out, but no malice intended

I know Pairs. Didnt seem to be in the form to win this at the start. I said Lister could be out of luck too and just look at his finalists! Laugh. Saw Taylors Sky eliminated in the semis at Zoo and deffo not Eclipse winning form. Lister seems to have got them all back on song though, not called "The Master" for nothing and think Paddy can lead and although almost most by Bertie in the first round, usually extremely hard to catch on the bunny. Inside of Sky clinches it for me as wouldnt trust Tango. Saw Sawpit narrowly beat Paddy not so long ago at Sheffield but Sawpit pinged on that occasion, but rarely does. Dunno how 365 can make them 5/1 apiece. Much prefer Paddy and gone in again at 5/1, bidding to win some ammunition for Saturday. Talking of which, got a new City baseball cap now Pairs.
