Exactly that Lee. He wants a strongly run stiff two miles. Perfect for the Supreme, and also for a Champion Hurdle next season.

I do the same and you're correct Maurice. I also had the first two rated particularly highly coming into the Festival, so I see the Supreme as confirming those ratings. They are both smart, but I...
Ignoring the ground I took the opposite view Tanlic. And having done my numbers since the Festival I'm convinced the first two are very smart, and I'll also be watching the next four home with...
Yes I agree DH. I also wonder whether Ruby might ride him rather than Melon if Faugheen didn't turn up.
Spot on Brian. I hear all the critism levelled at Willie or Nicky, or other flavours of the month, but if you want to look at sly or shady you hit the nail on the head.
If I had to guess I think Hobbs is down to limited runners because all's not well in the yard KA
I'm not sure about that DH. I've just watched all three back and I'm even more convinced than before that he's not a bridle merchant, but they do need to teach him to settle. He's tanking through his...
Melon pulled for the entire race and was still only beaten a length. Given the circumstances it was a remarkable performance against two horses that have got the t shirt. Tuesday on the sharper old...
I'd forgotten about Munir and Souede tbh.
It wasn't fees I was referring to, but I'd imagine he'd be between those you mentioned Pauling would the cheapest, Henderson the most expensive, with NTD...
With reference to TNO, he simply doesn't believe he's a three mile horse. That being the case two miles at Cheltenham, followed by two and half at Aintree are his obvious races. He could go to...
Pretty harsh Nick. NTD wouldn't even be in the Premier League of Trainers who talk **** and put punters away. He strikes me as fundamentally honest, he's not afraid to give his horses proper...
Spot on Bear. I think too many are seeing that argument one way.
I also have nothing between them and see more reasons for Buveur D'Air to improve to a higher level than Faugheen may be capable of...
Ruby or Townend?!
Apologies you did indeed. It was the sentiment that had stuck in my head.
As for the fishwives............:D
Grassy commented earlier about Digger and himself observing that Faugheen was as fat as a pig. Not true. I've just looked back at the recording from Sunday, and in the parade ring, you clearly see...
Thanks Brian. I've just logged on to post something very similar. I concur, I've just done the card and the time was very quick, and given it was off the back of such a long lay-off it's all the more...
:lol:
I've got to say, that's the best performance Faugheen had put in on his seasonal debut. He also looked fit first time which he's never done before. It was great to see.
I love him but I'm not...
Sorry, I should have clarified fellas. I meant the Greatwood entries.
Is it me, or does it potentially look like one of the best renewals of recent years? It's always competitive, but there is high percentage of nice prospects and progressive horses in the entries,...
