wholestone - cleeve hurdle

Basically agree - I read somewhere a suggestion that he was not right physically at Newbury, course form of 121131 is none to shabby either - I can see Agrapart chasing him home as in the Relkeel...

I still have faith in The Worlds End but the spring might be the right time to catch him...

Will wait until w/e to be though...

Agree regarding Relkeel. Good chance of the same 1-2 here again.

I think it will be a very interesting race.

Although I'm a fan of Wholestone, I'm not really sure he really stays 3 miles fully. He's impressive over two and half and two three quarter but seems to flatten out when running over three. It may be the pace of the race but he was outstayed at Wetherby by Colin's Sister and struggled at Newbury.

Beer Goggles for me. He is good price and still improving, assuming he runs post news of his trainer.

Giving Thomas Campbell another chance given his liking for Cheltenham.

Backed Colins Sister each way.

gone off Wholestone  now based on stable form (Ballyandy ran a shocker) - think Fergal O'Brien's horses share the yard and they're not running great either.

Will just watch and cheer on Beer Goggles.

NTD will probably have a treble now, of course...

Ballyhill also ran like a drain.

With the going becoming desperate I have added Ex Patriot @ 27

bit gutted really,

knew my fate when when itv cut to ruby mid race

Confirmed my thoughts that he doesn't stay 3 miles. He was bolting up but ran out of puff in the last 250 yards.

Aintree hurdle over 2.5 would be my plan for the horse if he was mine. Swerve Cheltenham...

Yep, along with Finian's Oscar if connections were sufficiently intelligent to perceive that would be the best race for him this season, and bin whatever aspiration they might have for him in next month's Cheltenham Festival.
