It may be Closutton tinted spectacles but I pay him a good sum every month because I trust him to do the best by all his owners and horses. If I'm touchy on the subject it's because I resent the...
And a marked lack of any further action on that front. Suggest you get back to me when he's charged with doping the Queen's horses.
I can guarantee you that he always says the truth as he sees it on the day that a question is asked. Any owner with him knows that he makes up his mind at the last minute based on the latest gallops...
I suspect that you are grossly underestimating Wylie's knowledge and input. I don't have a problem with BDA being a worthy favourite but in terms of crap/mouth relationships I'd have to say that...
Willie has said since September that he saw Yorkhill as a CH horse and Ruby wanted him in the Gold Cup. He told us that Wylie hadn't yet voiced an opinion but I'd say that the campaign was done with...
Samcro the only withdrawal from the ICH at declaration stage.
I'd have thought you'd go for lethal injection given your fan-boy status with Nicky the Needle.:cool:
Mullins said yesterday 2 tests to get through which presumably would be work today and Friday....
Faugheen declared along with Cilaos Emery and 3 from Gordon.
Faugheen one of six left in the Ryanair at the forfeit stage

As it stands, of the 15 top bookies, six have BDA favourite,...
Likewise, no worries.
I do beg your pardon. It was Double J on the Champion Chase thread rather than your good self. Apologies and complete withdrawal.

Still more of the proper bookies have Faugheen as favourite but don't let facts get in...
According to your earlier theory, shouldn't Betbright be leading the (tiny) drift rather than resisting it?
Ryanair Hurdle forfeits and supplementary entries tomorrow. Should nail it one way or the other.
The 5/2 is a firm that no-one's heard of. Betbright and Paddy are rock solid at 13/8 and the only 'major' firm that has BDA shorter than Faugheen is Stan James.
If TNO is a solid 163, Melon ran to 162 on his 5th run over hurdles. At the same stage of his career, Buveur D'Air was rated 157.
The objective (?) atr formscan is mediocre but I'm not sure that objectivity has much of a place on this thread.
:lol:
I tried to make a nod to that with the final sentence.
As I said earlier, I've got Faugheen at 4/1 NRNB, Buveur D'Air at 5/1 and Melon (who is by a long way the most likely 'other') at...
I'm the second to vote 'other'. This is my reasoning.
It's still over 3 months to the race and past experience says that one or even both the principles won't line up but 'other', of course, will....
OR/Most recent RPR/Best RPR/Timeform:
Buveur D'Air 169/159/171/170
Faugheen 172/171/177/176
F 4 BDA 0
On this season's form, I'd say Melon is a much better chance than DDS.
I'm on BDA at 5/1, Faugheen at 4/1 NRNB and Melon ew at 16/1. Boxed it off for now and probably until raceday.

Interesting mini stat. The last two 10yos to win the CH went on to win it as 11yos as well.
Do you really think it was an honest change of mind?
By the way, I've not had a penny on so I've no financial interest.
