Mullins will garner enough place money in the Bet365 Cup to win the title even if he doesnt win the race itself. I reckon the 70K gap would be bridged in this race regardless.
And he will probably have the winner anyway to seal it.

The 2m6f chase (or is it nearly 2m7f)
Gaelic Warrior will probably win, but throws in enough lack lustre displays to ne a bet
Pic Dorrhy has an iffy record at Sandown and may just run out of stamina
Gentleman du mee - 1 poorish run at the track, stamina also debatable

hitman and appreciate it were pointlessly sent to the National and left fresh would have place claims
this race isnt for me

2m5.5f hurdle
Kitzbuhel for Mullins was poor at Aintree in a bad race
too short here
Skeltons Gwennie May Boy will be closer last than 1st
The rest have claims especially Lucky Place
no bet for me

the 2m chase
Jonbons favourite track, he wins this
Edwardstone is past his best
Energumene will not act on the ground, shouldnt be running

Il Etait Temps is a smashing horse but first time out is tough
be interesting to see how he runs

with doubts about the above 3, i would not be place laying Master Chewy who has been very consistent all season
Unexpected Party, the same

Harpers Brook is there to pick up pieces and has no chance
Pause Switch to Standard View Sandown - end of season 2025

Wouldn't touch Gaelic Warrior with a barge pole because of reliability issues,can't see past Jonbon in the Grade 1 Chase.


The big Handicap chase is a complete lottery with despite all the entries WPM might still not have the winner.

The real Gaelic Warrior showed up today but the second fav pulling up helped a bit,don't think Mark Walsh did anything wrong on Jonbon and was beaten by a better horse on the day.

Agree, Mark Walsh did nothing wrong and neither did Jonbon
Fresh horse ran well and hats off to him.

Interesting to see how Jonbon improves for having a proper jockey instead of Nick
dont think he will win but expecting better jumping

Big blow to Nico as well as to Mark Walsh losing those plum rides for Henderson...btw I think he's a very poor jockey (NDB)

Thought subersub Bowen gave Jonbon a good ride
Jumping was still hit and miss though

Il Etait Temps didnt handle the ground and that affected his jumping even prior to the fall
Looked beat to me, but not everyone i spoke to agreed

Thistle Ask ran by far the best race and was only ground down in the closing stages by a horse rated a good few pounds superior

Very odd run by the fav,plenty of form on easy ground but never travelled an inch,I suppose they ain't machines at the end of the day.

Thought Nico was ok on Jonbon today. Jumped better than normal without being foot perfect. Stayed the 2m 5f. Rated 4lb than Pic Dorhy, thought it would be more, handicapper was right.
