I like the horse, but imo he's been campaigned wrongly this year. Exeter was the wrong way round, the Relkeel was too far. Fences on a left hand track will see him to best effect and at a price I'd be interested in him in the QM w/o Douvan market.

Had just read that. Interesting to hear & thankfully something came to light. That run at Kempton was way too bad to be true & the way he hung up the home straight, it was obvious something was causing him pain. I hope they can get it sorted and get another run into him before March. He could still have a hand to play in the Supreme yet.

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

Shades of An Capall after a few snifters !
It's someone at Stan James I'm led to believe but presumably they have some sort of discussion with the yard first.
Sounds like Kotkikova is still bring considered for Stayers Hurdle, which is good - though she could probably have done with Ascot being on today.

Charli Parcs gone from 2/5 to 4/6 for Triumph trial at Musselburgh Saturday. Hendersons other horse Soldier in Action into 11/4 from 10/1 for same race!!
A sea of Blue for CP on oddschecker for the Supreme into 5/1 in places. Looks like he's going to miss Musselburgh Saturday & possibly head back to Kempton for the Dovecote before a crack at the supreme!!

I will be fu*cking delighted if that's how it pans out with CP.
JP has some right good juvenile hurdlers on his hands at present. If Defi and CP head for the main events, I wouldn't be surprised if one of his 4yos did some damage, in one of the open handicap hurdles at the Festival.

Charli drift because of the rain forecast for Sat/Sunday....I got some evens so praying the rain don't come in time...Soldiers in Action who acts on soft is in as a precaution

Didn't he win on very soft ground in France on debut which would be fairly testing?

Yes he did, KA, and the going this weekend certainly wouldn't account for the shortening of the Supreme price.
It's slowly-dawning on Tanlic that he is on the right horses, but in the wrong races, and it's making him a bit dribbly in the cerebellum. He also thinks Douvan will win the Arkle apparently.
More powerful meds are needed, I reckon.

As for where he will go come Cheltenham if it were left to Nicky he would go Triumph make no mistake about that (or maybe the Arkle) but as always THEY Nicky PH Frank and JP won't make a decision until March. when all the cards are laid on the table.
A classic example is John Quinn's horse is in 3 races at Musselburgh and John didn't have a clue yesterday where he was running. He is also entered in the Triumph and the Supreme plays the Fred Winter was mentioned a couple of weeks ago. So in the Triumph Trial JP has 2 entries, Nicky has 2, then in the Supreme John Quinn where he may be told to run has JP's plus a Highfield Camacho owned horse Master of Irony but wants to keep them apart so Master of Irony may end up taking on the fav in the County which by pure coincidence belongs to JP............Just too many good juveniles and novices going about this season to keep up.
Guess we'll know a lot more in 3 hours time

Nicky on CP last week before Cheltenham from his blog.
"I really don’t know whether he’ll go for the Triumph or the Supreme and the whole point in coming here is for us to learn about him as I’ve always said I wanted to get some experience into him around the track. The ground shouldn’t be an issue as he won on good ground at Kempton (where it’s always good!!) but has plenty of form on soft in France so he’s very versatile"
Wouldn't imagine soft ground at Musselburgh if it came up that way would be an issue so if he's that versatile. But there's really not that much rain forecast for the area.
Another thing, Nico De Boinnville's name appears beside Soldier in Action but CP remains blank. Geraghty is declared for mounts in Sandown and with Nico riding all Hendersons in Musselburgh it certainly looks as tho CP wont run here at all. You generally see who's riding what from Thursday!!
