Coneygree did a really pleasing gallop this AM so Hennessy should be on agenda again.

He would of course added extra spice to the KG field but I'm happy if he makes it to Newbury. Will test the metal of SDR and tell us where he potentially fits in the Gold Cup picture, if at all.
All comers, all grounds, all beaten!
This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.
I want him to win this as much as the next man but I can see Coneygree shortening in the betting and leaving some e/w value on Smad Place, who is a horse that hasn't carried under 11 stone over fences before but should appreciate having no weight on his back.
Smad Place always comes on leaps and bounds for his first seasonal start, so to win last time tells me he must be in rude health. I could see myself doing a reverse forecast on Coneygree and Smad Place.

21 entries include Coneygree, but Vroum Vroum Mag, Don Poli and Sausalito Sunrise all missing.
It's a pretty uninspiring line-up tbh. The top 3 deserve to be at the head of the market which makes me think Valseur Lido is the value.
Mullins will decide on his after working tomorrow. Vroum Vroum Mag goes to Carlisle on Sunday.
The older I get the better I was.

Doubt he will be over
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Coneygree out. Real shame.
Blast
Hopefully he gets to Kempton instaed
Wonder what price SDR goes off now
So much for the pleasing gallop!
Considering his level of form is lights years behind what Bob's Worth and Denman achieved when they won it as second season chasers he's gonna be incredibly short.
Today was a schooling issue
Gallop was fine but he jumped badly during this morning's schooling session.
Bugger. Was the main reason for going Saturday. Hopefully we'll see an impressive performance from Saphir to make up for it
Suffered an overreach which he has never done before, suggesting something is wrong. Sara Bradstock is on Racing UK at 11.50am.
Shame. Hopefully they can get him fit for Xmas
Bobs worth off a mark 7lbs lower than when tearing Tidal Bay a new one in this race a few years ago, having proven himself in decent form with a spin over hurdles, is a knocking good bet here.
Ned Stark for me now...
He didn't prove much imo. He went out like a light in all his chase runs last season and that run over hurdles was more akin to a gallop than a proper race. Like SDR, even more so really, he has massive questions to answer when he put under pressure in a big race. ]
I've added The Druids Nephew to my position on Houblon. I think the front three in the market are all too short - recency bias works both ways.
