Any early thoughts...

Early darts for me are

Macktoad

Crackerjacque

Salver

Kelce

Hoping Caolin Quinn has a good day.

Early picks but could well change my mind price dependant.

I’ll be there for the two days. Personally think Nicholls might have a very Good Friday. Lots of his have needed the run, especially Quebecois who is my fancy in the 2.20. Think he’ll have 3 or 4 winners.

only the hurdles course I suspect HT. Always much faster on the steeplechase course.

Took 18/1 each way with Wills about Enziya in the first.....only the price appealed in fairness but will hopefully be value.

A good Card but no bets for me Horatio.
No drama this end is a proper horse but is priced accordingly.
Best of luck

Hope nobody took the 11/8 on Doyen Quest early this week.7/1 currently Crazy

Still think Quebecois is the one. A bit of a boat on previous evidence, but can’t see many horses sprinting up the run in. Steady and relentless is the order of the day.
Report sageform December 5, 2025 8:29 AM GMT
Very strange market for the novice chase. Different ground from Exeter of course but Doyen Quest won 10 lengths and is 2lb better off with Quebecois who does prefer soft. Salver has not won for nearly 2 years and 7 runs admittedly in good races. Laurens Bay won a 2 horse race on his only chase start so might find this a bit more of a test of his jumping. I would make Doyen Quest and Quebecois joint favs. Don't forget how far Western Knight was behind them at Exeter.

Good effort Horatio hope you didn’t change your mind,enjoyed watching on tv yesterday it sounded like there was a really good atmosphere at sandown .
Report HoratioNelson December 6, 2025 9:55 AM GMT
Well, I will never lie on here as it's pointless.

They were my night before selections, I sometimes play the night before if I think the price is right but I decided to wait and play on course.
Macktoad was roughly 15/2 biggest the night before. Opened way shorter on track...NO BET....Bolts in Sad
Salver was roughly 7/2 the night before. Opened 11/5 if I remember rightly, and was well backed into 6/4...Missed it again so NO BET...Bolts in Sad
Across Earth was approx 5/1 the night before, Opened 3/1 and didn't drift.Bolts In...Sad
So, 3 winners selected but none backed.

My plays were Enziya in the first, Krak in the second, Tormund Giantsbane in the third, Ind'Or in the fifth and Oceans Conquest in the last.

Should have been a good punting day but ended up winnerless.

Grabbed a picture with Nicky Henderson though so not all bad and was a nice day with a decent atmosphere. My mate mentioned it kicked off inside by the bar with approx 12 lads, I must have missed it. Did anyone see anything. 

Also, note to self...do not get the train back from Esher next time unless you are a fan of having your face shoved up some unknowns armpit for most of the journey. It was feckin rammo.
