I mentioned on the Sky Bet thread, that I wanted to see Long House Hall in the entries for this, but he's not there, so that's that.
However, I desperately want the winner of this race!
I've looked at the handicap; no disrespect to the top weights who are pretty damn good, but I've decided I want something progressing, in good form, at the bottom of the weights.
I've noticed Dr Richard Newland is in excellent form recently, knocking in winners left, right and centre which is a good sign. He trains Catamaran Du Seuil.
He was second at Haydock in December to Captain Redbeard, who's a good horse and rated in the mid 140's, (also holds a Grand National entry). This makes Catamaran Du Seuil look well-handicapped.
He beat Clan Legend, (who's entered in Wetherby's 3:35 Tuesday, so could frank the form).
The third horse... Caraline..is also entered in the same race, so both could frank the form with Catamaran Du Seuil.
Catamaran is presently number 29 on the list for Saturday, so could be touch-and-go whether he makes the cut. I live in hope.
This being the U.K's top racing forum, I'm trying to spout as little-shite as possible these days, although I believe I'm onto something here, so couldn't resist!
