    Queens Brook is an interesting one.

    Watched an interview with Barry Gerraghty who rides work for Gordon now. He seemed quite sweet on Queens Brook for the Albert Bartlett. But she’s in here over 2 mile.

    Quilxios. Unstoppable.

    I’m still not entirely convinced by the Champion Bumper form (despite Botox Has and Allmankind doing a fair bit to prop it up last weekend), and will be taking on Queens Brook today with Henry’s Brave Way, who was impressive in her maiden first time up.

    She will almost certainly want further in time, but she travelled great through the race at Kilbeggan, and is worth chancing at 100/30.

    Lockdown clearly having an effect on you Nick, Botox and Allmankind ran in the Triumph. I do however agree she is worth taking on over the minimum trip just havent found the answer yet

    Ah......well now......this could be an inadvertant proper fu*ck-up on my part, as I think the Bumper form was really quite strong!

    Agreed. My concern is how fit they have him with the season in mind

    GE can surely improve him 5lbs

    Jumping cost her in the end. We will see QB go down the Albert Bartlett route.

    Willie didn’t enter our mare Shewearsitwell, we go to the Royal Bond, but if he did I’d like to think we’d gave been well in front there.
