I spoke briefly to a trainer last night and asked what he thought of Smoking Aces for the Pertemps. He said you need a stable to be in form and he felt Tom's horses were not. Its shortened in the betting today and I had really fancied it, but his opinion has but me of a bit. Anyone know anything about this horse's wellbeing?

He tipped it up ew at the preview night in Maynooth on Wednesday for the Pertemps. Big move this morning, dunno if he's been tipped up?

I heard he tipped it, but concerned about what the other guy said.

It would be, but the horse won lto - last month, has good form all the way through. TT's overall form is gash, but he doesn't have many good horses imv.

Agree DAS . He has a pretty good record at the festival though.

21 runners : 3 winners - and another 5 horses placed.

Paddy flood does not train it expect to see a lot of improvement with the application of first time cheekpieces

It would have a much better chance if Paddy Flood did actually train it.Smoking Aces with the maestro trainer is a no hoper in Cheltenham.

Messing with FOTP alright but plenty more at it. Song of songs ?

In compliance on better ground ?

Tom Mullins was way out of form also and then up pops Some Slam on Wednesday. Trainer form is of course relevant but not that relevant if the horse you want to back is a price. Different story of course if its a short price fav.

trainer form totally irrelevant with Tom - FOTP will win the plate - mark my words

Stable form was nothing special prior to 90th minutes Coral cup win last year. I was at last two Maynooth preview nights and he is equally as bullish about Smoking Aces as he was when tipping 90th minute last year.

The man knows how to train a festival winner. Get on.
