A very pleasing confirmation for Saturday's Fighting Fifth.

Anyone know if this is just a precaution or something more serious?

I would guess it is just the 5 day entries tbh as I cant see why he'd run both Brampour and Celestial Halo ..

.. but I could be wrong

Gotta wonder who would ride.
Got the impression he wanted to use HD's claim next time up - obviously can't claim in a Grade 1 and HD is riding at Newbury anyway.
With Daryl likely to ride CH I can't see why PN would run Brampour and potentially ruin his handicap mark

I will be amazed if Brampour turns up now.  Ruby, Noel and Harry at Newbury.  Jacob on Celestial Halo.  As suspected, this confirmation was just a precaution Sad

Surely a third big race in such a short space of time for a four-year old is asking for trouble?

Going for the Ladbroke Hurdle on Dec 17 I think.

Bula Hurdle surely a much more likely target than the Ladbroke? Nicholls did the same Greatwood-Bula double with Rigmarole and Brampour must have ruled himself out of handicaps now once mark is revised

He won the Greatwood off 142 when you consider the 7lb claim so i'd not rule out h'caps just yet tbh ..

what else of note would be in the bula.....overturn? grandouet?
Report neill d • November 22, 2011 4:58 PM GMT
Grandouet looks an ideal Christmas Hurdle horse, I don't think he is in the FF.

Sint, he only won the Greatwood off 142 if you regard the apprentice as the equal of the top jocks. I don't, personally.
