    What took you so long
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Capitaine out today anyway

    Apple's jade would be an interesting recruit of the less likely ones to switch to fences

    Looks like a straightforward enough task for Capitaine.

    The 7.50 at Roscommom tonight could be informative with Townsend, Potters Point, Peregrine Run and a couple from O'Brien/JP all going

    and at the prices will take a chance on Peregrine Run at 15/2 getting weight from Townsend. Landofhopeandglory must also have decent chance off only 10-3, but's short enough at 9/4

    Landofhopeandglory could win this by 20 lengths hard held.

    And I thought he might be tapped for toe at 2 miles (cue the 20 length win)

    wouldn’t be a surprise if any of them won by 20l, but have to be against the top 2 at the prices

    Hot enough little event, I reckon, and LOHAG will need to be pretty-handy, to be beating this lot 20L hard-held. There's not a great deal in it on hurdles marks, and it's a fair-enough test, for a maiden-outing over fences.

    Hopefully he'll get declared for something and his presence will mean there's value to be had elsewhere

    Probably wouldn't have him in that category myself, PJ.

    I suspect he probably hasn't trained-on/is no longer much cop.
