Guinness Gold Cup - Barber Shop

Not even looked at the race but can tell you he is gone for the season, his defeats bey denman and Kauto have finished him for at least this season imo

Barbers shop hasnt chance of beating Denman over 3m at punchestown

But while on the subject Denman may be worth opposing on a right handed track and after a a tough gold cup.

Barber Shop = Bridle Ponce

hes just not good enough and seems tripless .

Non Stayer

Barbers Shop= Another Silverburn imo.

Silverburn :x

Silverburn. Excellent tt. Thats exactly what he is

CV :x

Never let your mum cut your hair.

Barbers Shop reminds me in some ways to Petit Robin, who is just caught on a rating where he cant win much. Admiral horse,though,imo.

Needs to avoid the grade 1 races. Or adopt different tactics over shorter distances. Give front running tactics over 2m4f maybe? Horse travels well at speed as was evidenced in the king george.

I wouldn't back him at 1400-1, but good luck.

barber shop= most over rated horse in training

Joncol e/w spaff job imo

I've never understood the interest round this horse. Average!

Be surprised if Barbers turned up.

Barbers Shop just dosen't jump well enough - always seems to be meeting his fences awkwardly - a bit like Punchestowns.

Racing Demon is another one who falls into this class, decent horses a bit short of top class but campaigned in Grade 1's so overexposed to the handicapper

Spot on OTL, was thinking the same about Racing Demon when I posted. Both horses aimed too high imo.

sure nolan says joncol wants a bog, but i do like joncol

Barbers Shop defo runs next Wednesday!

thanks c o m .....really think track and ground will suit him

denman - fast ground ?
joncol - fast ground?
cooldine - walked over the line in gold cup legless ?
tranquil sea - 3 miles 1f? non stayer
war of attrition - swansong.......?
