this doesnt look the greatest rerun imo and the epsom version may not have been a vintage renewal either but it is what it is i suppose , aiden runs 4 with ryan perhaps suprisingly sticking with epsom fav benito cellini who had excuses at epsom but im not convinced the stalls mix up was responsible for the distance btn at epsom ,the derby looked bang average to my mind and similar to a few derbys the past few years he may still win but short enough imo.
raheeb is unbeaten 2 from 2 and could be anything but also short enough. one who could have been underestimated and who looks to have a similar profile to raheeb ie lightly raced and progressive but can be backed at much bigger odds is the hannons bunyola bay just the 3 runs and progressing as he steps up in trip 2 wins form 3 runs stated out over 6f on debut and winning his last race a biggish field sales race at gowran in good style staying on strongly the step up another 2f could suit and on lines with hardy boy may not be much between him and todays fav but the hannon horse is a much bigger price today .
selection bunyola bay 66/1 ew win places on here.good luck opinions encouraged.

With you on that Foyles as lots of question marks on all of them, also backing James J Braddock as i think the better ground will suit it more than Christmas day. Good luck.

Favourite wins on the snaff imv,good luck tho…..

good luck mr spock and formyace ,as spock said question marks one way or another about most of them i just thought that the hannon horses price was/ is too big .

I'm on Ben. I think he'll improve on his jock's half-hearted effort at Epsom. A reproduction of his Chester form could seal a victory here, I hope. Good luck all!

good luck impossible , no suprise if he does win and i will prob back another as plan b as we know anything can happen as we saw at epsom ,

I put him up on the Epsom Derby equivalent of this thread so sticking with Xmas Day. Not proven on the ground but I believe his sire was,perhaps the dam's sire also. Jimmy Braddock for the r/fc.
Wouldn't it be summat though if the jolly was to go through his 3 Yr old career unbeaten. That would put a good few noses out of joint  |

Camino Vino also has an interesting line to your selection Foyles leads to Thundering On.
Gotta love Tea Leaf taking credit for putting up the Epsom Winner on the Day of the race itself when its price had collapsed!  |
|
By:
I think your selection may have to start at 14.35 if he's going to win Foyles
But GL.We never really know what to expect from AOB's contingent, so i'll throw a couple of shekels the way of Pierre Bonnard with minimal confidence. |

Not betting here but my view is that Ben is a big old boat.
Why? : It needed a very strong gallop set at Chester, it went straight over 1m 4 1/2F first time out unlike the other Derby horses who went 1m 2f then stepped up. I never felt that Epsom would be his track even if the going was good, his sister Giselle flopped there in the Oaks the year before. I see Moore said the quicker going will suit today which makes even more of a mockery of him being a non runner! "Obviously there was a lot of controversy around Benvenuto Cellini being deemed a non-runner at Epsom," said Moore. "He’s going to be back on nicer ground and that will make a significant difference to him. He’s had two disappointing runs in his life and both of them were on slower ground, so hopefully he’ll be a lot happier on the quicker surface." They knew that he’d not like conditions and maybe the track but still supposedly ran him. With his obvious stamina credentials mentioned above, the stiffer Curragh test should be more to his liking than Epsom. I’m not backing Christmas Day but would like to see him confirm form, going into the Derby DD had said that on pedigree he might not like soft. He form on good ground, the first up race where he carried a penalty has been franked, but I’m not going to lose my money won on him in the event of an AOB stitch up there today. Penzance had said that 3’s looked short a while back and his price made no appeal back then and doesn’t today. |

Anyone but Pierre. This "festival" has been shunned by terrestrial tv. I wonder why.

Raaheeb to win and be the next star of racing and beat the Irish mob in their back yard
|
|
By:
I thought Raaheeb was very close to boiling over at Sandown and refusing to go in the stalls. With the bigger crowd today ect I would want to watch him at the start before backing him.A no bet race for me but good luck all.
|
|
By:
I like Raaheeb too. I'd like to see the best horse win without any shenanigan from the Irish mob. Fair and square please, AOB!

I think the Epsom winner will confirm the form. Interesting to see them up the home straight if they go a proper gallop, a serious headwind out there today.

Market keen on Benvenuto Cellini,Moore will have a hoof in mouth if he doesn’t 2in

Backed Joseph's one James J Braddock at Epsom was given plenty to do and looked ill at ease with the Epsom undulations
this much more suitable and he can go close hopefully backed it at 11.00 and 1.82 (4) on here to cover stake gl chaps  |

The result should be of no surprise tbh….

Workman-like.

Fair play to Moore. He had no doubt this was the one to be on, especially after being accused of all sorts of excuses after Epsom.
|
|
By:
Is a big old boat and the Curragh was his track, all correct.

Horse wasn't good enough but Jesus Christ is Rossa Ryan a terrible jockey

Much of a muchness. I'm relieved Pierre was only 3rd.

Delbert not so good pre race,is he.
Big Old Boat,you clown |

The fav loaded last as it was drawn 8. Uneven numbers then the even ones.

Didn't think he'd turn the form around but he did,fair play.
