Wasn't this beast supposed to be "The" superstar - 6/4 in the Neptune to beat "the New One" (when that was really good!) Well, after 990 days off the track, the beast has 2 entries in novice chases coming up at the weekend! Will be interesting as to persevere after such a long layoff (admittadley only a 7 yr old now) Very Interesting and one that I will be watching with interest for sure! Come on the beast !!! :)

If something wants to go faster and take them on, no problem they will sit behind but if any of the others try taking him on they will stop as if shot with half mile to go!

The idea that a horse that takes on a Mullins runner will stop as if shot is pure speculation as it doesn't happen. I would have thought the theory is worth testing out occasionally, particularly if a horse is making a chasing or hurdling debut?

I couldn't back this horse ante post for Cheltenham even though clearly a highly rated animal. Even the jockey and trainer seem concerned if he can stay fit. It's a real shame but that's racing.
