Hendo is speaking for the bookies again. Apparently, Hendo is considering running Jonbon in The Bowl at Aintree next week alongside hotpot Jango Baie. Hendo ran Jonbon in The Ryanair at Cheltenham despite indicating the horse would be heading for The Melling Chase post his hard race at Ascot previously. Jonbon is 11/8 for The Melling Chase.
Why does Hendo repeatedly run his charges in the wrong race eg Jonbon (Ryanair) & Lulamba (Arkle). He ruined Altior running him at Ascot on testing ground and a new trip of 2m 4f. |

Imp, I can't fancy either of Henderson's for Aintree - I think they've left their races at Ascot/Cheltenham.

It probably has not occurred to Implausible that JP decides where his horses run

Hey Racingstar aka Ironhoof -why not get yerself some new f&*kin4 material ya boring co0nt?
You're like an annoying tic that you can't shake off ya leg. |

By:
.... Yep, just look at his previous threads as RACINGSTAR, same ol antagonistic Shyte patter.

A tic?!
 More like a CLINKER! One of the those turds that gets stuck in a cats assss that it can’t shake lose while it runs around frantically with it hanging on! |

By:
Impossible I guess that he thinks it’s easy prize money given the likely opponents?
Plus Jonbon isn’t getting any younger. Surprised he’d run Jango after a hard race but Nichols used to go there with his Conti non stayer after the Gold Cup. |
|
By:
First time last year on good at Aintree and he coped fine , best RPR , so a step up this year on same ground at his age might be the right time .

Poor old Grassgow,The Anchor swallower.
It would appear that Leifless/Brainless has learnt little in life other than to love his peace loving Iranian friends |
|
By:
Impossible as three are dual entered Jonbon, Impare, Grey, the races are also likely to cut up.
There just aren’t enough quality horses for the races. |
|
By:
JP insisted Fact To File ran in the King George at Kempton despite Mr Mullins primed Gaelic Warrior for the race. As a result the main prize eluded either.
I think with Jonbon having had two consecutive hard races to go up in trip again is bonkers to me. But, Hendo is being Hendo. Hendo ought to advertise for Confused.com. |

I'd bet a good sum that you're also on Tw4tter, spewing the same racist bile day in day out. FO back there ya pr4ck |

Strangley,Leifless/Brainless thinks that homophobic insults are fie.
The utter cretin. BTW,I have never been a member of Faeces Book or any of the other Nutter outlets |

Point looked shaky 2 out tbh….
|
|
By:
Hendo has done a runner with Jonbon after all despite the horse was doubly entered at Aintree. The statement Hendo made about Jonbon could be up in trip was purely bookie-talking (his sponsor) and utter nonsense. His reason for the horse's absence at Aintree is that the horse has had two consecutive hard races and was a bit flat at Cheltenham.
I hope not many were sucked-in and took a short price for Jonbon in The Melling Chase. |

By:
The point has two good rides tomorrow…..good luck,you’ll need it tbh.
|
|
By:
Jango Baie Should be trading 4/6 imo…..odds against because point is in the plate tbf….
|
|
By:
But,has he actually backed it?
|
|
By:
It is either a bet or not.
If you cannot have the Jockey who is the winning most English riders still riding,state it. Blaming the jockey is acceptable after the race not before |
|
By:
I'm not fond of the Irish basher either. The only positive is he's the stable jockey. And, the trainer could be the reason both the shorties might not be winning today. They both did not have a stroll at Cheltenham.
|
|
By:
Why should Jango be so short? 4/6?
He was beaten by Impaire at the track last year at odds of 6/4. The only doubt about the Mullins horse is the extra distance, as it was for some for Gaelic Warrior in the Gold Cup. That and being pulled up last time, but was he right that day? Don’t forget they had the odds on fav for the Ryan Air in Fact To File. |

Ballymore Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1)
4YO plus | Class 1 | 2m 5f | Soft led turning in, 5 lengths clear when went right at the last, stayed on strongly, easily op 2/1 6 1/2 lengths back to a Gold Cup Winner that day in ‘23 Been waiting for the step up?  |
|
By:
There are 19 fences today, 18 in the KG, will Jango’s jumping hold up?
There were 16 fences when beaten by Impaire last year. Race comments from that day In touch with leaders, mistake and lost position 11th, headway after 2 out, 3 lengths down last, ran on well Comments from the Gold Cup. In touch with leaders, not fluent 3 out Those are the things that I’d consider before diving in at 4/6 but it’s all about opinions. |
|
By:
Impaire Et Passe is a bogey horse for me. He showed potential - delivery was not his forte though. Of course he'd win. However, I think Jango Baie has improved since up in distance to 3m.
|
|
By:
Thanks for your take on it Impossible, agree he’s in and out, but he could improve today for the step up himself as did Gaelic here.
Jango might have improved for the step up but his jumping has still cost him when the taps turn. |
|
By:
Flat and sharp on the snaff…..

By:
Only fear is a bad mistake at the last rider looking awkward to recover…..cover your eyes….
|
|
By:
Would anyone believe I'm only betting to snag a few quid to place on The National? The over-ran shorties from Cheltenham have seldom delivered here.

 Would you take 4/6 with a diff jockey up? No other fancies Impossible? |
|
By:
No, however, I'd take 4/6 if he'd bypassed Cheltenham regardless of jockey. I'm more concerned he'd have left his form at Cheltenham. I think Impaire has a habit of fluffing the odd fences too.
Selma and Lulamba. The former lost her race at the start with the shenanigan that seemed to beset Cheltenham 2026. I think Lulamba had a hard race prior to Cheltenham despite winning handsomely. This distance will play to his potential. Even money (boost) could be a bonus for some, I believe. |
|
By:
Cheers impossible, you’re right he does that too, Townend seems confident in his quote on the post however.
I didn’t see Lulumba’s race. Many are on Brighter today, there wasn’t much between them yet The Lion covered much more ground by going wide. That extra distance covered doesn’t give her that much in hand thought the track will suite her better. Again going up in trip might help the Skelton horse and for me he never really tried all out in the Champion but looked after the horse and made sure that he had a clear round. As soon as Lossie was supp’d I think any idea of trying to win went out the window for that camp and he was ridden with the future in mind. |

By:
I'm not a fan of The New Lion. But for his trainer and new owner (I think the former owner must be chuffed JP came calling) the horse would not be as lauded as he's been. I'm with Elliot's - no bet for me though. As always the end of a season is always a "catching a falling knife scenario".
I think today's card is the best of the 3 day meeting; Saturday's Grand National. |
|
By:
Agree with your take on the owner and being lauded and over rated, unbeaten horses or those with win streaks draw that attention.
She’s now fav so many are of your opinion and backing that up. There was only half a length between them at the line so will be interesting to see how it goes! Enjoy! |

By:
The present 2 highly regarded NH trainers eg Hendo and Skelton are so different to Sir Cecil, Sir Stoute and Mr Cumani about running their very best horse/s. I've never known either to run any in a wrong race eg wrong trip or wrong ground. They'd have everything planned-out - absolute true professional.
|
|
By:
Stoute got Ajdal wrong.
|
|
By:
I can't see how Lulamba can lose this. I keep looking at the form and it should win easily (only the Nico factor worries me!)
|

How's the PTP rider getting on

Taxi.

Ajdal was an exception, I believe. Even then the horse performed amicably.
