    Doesn't want to potentially empty the tank chasing home the GC winner in his first race out of novice company. Dec and March the aims for now
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    The Gold Cup winner will think he is in against Douvan again, when he meets the Biter for the first time.

    Not sure it's hugely significant, archie. All those runs came at less than 2m4f, which is clearly too short for him......which makes his starting-point this season, all the more bizarre!

    The race on Sunday is 3 miles?

    Ah. Serves me right for not looking and talking boll*ocks. Was convinced that race was always over 2m4f.

    I am putting myself on ignore until December 24th!

    Wants to keep him right off the radar and send him to the 3m handicap chase on Day One. Can't have him for the Gold Cup.

    Not any more DG. They now reckon he is already showing more than enough to look higher than Hunters. 66/1 for Gold Cup.

    More likely sending him there to get the freshness out of him to stop him pulling like a train at Haydock.

    If the Biter doesn’t go, you’d be disappointed if he didn’t.

    If the Might Bite goes I'd say him and BDM for the forecast.

    K Vic back with Mullins and rumoured plans for Foxhunters stalled in favour of more ambitious targets according to RP.

    PS. Sorry Granger. Just seen your earlier post.

    Haven't looked at this thread so far and can't be arsed to read through 12 pages (no offence to anyone intended) but I've got two ante-post.

    Un Temps Pour Tout 50/1
    Might Bite (twice at 14/1, once at 12/1)

    Singlefarmpayment should give UTPT a big boost in the Hennessy and Go Conquer already did so last Saturday. I can't believe it isn't a contender but they might keep it for the National.

    Unless Haringtons stable shows a serious uptake in form in the next couple of weeks you couldn't back any of hers with any confidence, stable is horribly out of form.

    You probably were out shopping yesterday She fired in a double yesterday with both hacking up by 5 and 6 lengths.

    Bristol wouldn't blow wind up his backside if he were only half fit fully fit he'd hack up in what looks a very weak renewal
