It does. I have 20s about the RSA, worries me slightly that the trainer will over think it and go for the JLT.
Pity WPM has so many mares
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Members at Cheltenham will have been used to receiving the Open Magazine and the Festival magazine in previous years, these days they receive a quarterly edition of Kalendar. Also viewable online, using the controls at the top of each page with facilities for turning the page and zooming in and out. Must have a PDF viewer such as Adobe Acrobat

Anyone who wants accommodation for any Cheltenham meetings ? Just giving you the heads up there's a new Premier Inn opening in The Brewery complex this weekend in the town centre and they are taking future bookings from today.

Anyone coming to the Festival, if you don't mind being based outside town you could do worse than this £385 for six

I remember Sutton Place winning a Ccoronation Stakes for DK Weld; an RSA would make some double.
Let that be the last flat mention on this thread

Any (mis)information from Jonjo on likely target(s) for Minella Rocco?
BJG had this to say
He got the hang of jumping fences last season, his jumping improved as the season went on, as he gained in experience. It took him a little while, but he put it all together in the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in March under a superb ride from Derek O’Connor.
Minella Rocco is a staying chaser to look forward to for the season, and it will be interesting to see how he progresses.

After a dreadful unintentional start Minella Rocco's jumping came good on his Cheltenham run prior to Ascot.
It was pretty obvious the way barry road him winning was out of the question and by the 10th Fence he was goosed clipped the 11th fence and Barry let him come home in his own time.
Up until then he had made sure he got a good look at every fence and he jumped like a stag.........Job done...roll on March.
Ascot would be a possibility this coming season but The Hennessy is apparently on the agenda but then the good old British weather will probably decide for them. Welsh Grand National would also on Jonjo's mind later on
Long term it has to be the National. There's a lot better 3m2f horses than him around and the further he goes the better he looks to be.
Someone is bound to tell me he's too young or will be at 7 years old....Better tell Jonjo that because if he's tough enough to win the 4 miler he's tough enough to take on Aintree
Any takers on Hennessy? Welsh Grand National? Grand National?

Formely Fist of Fury
Don't back him AP for the Hennessy Fist as read that was definitely not a target. However, he's a Jonjo horse, so you never know...
Ticket prices for The Open and The Festival go up this Saturday 22nd.
