Ground at Ayr now on the quick side. First 2m chase 6 seconds fast of standard.
Consequently have supplemented my team with Silsol at 25s.
Only chase runs on soft or heavy to date, where jumping has come unstuck at times. When it hasn't, has shown plenty of stamina by creditable 5th and 4th in Welsh and Midlands Nationals with plenty of weight in both.
Lower mark and 10.13 today (puts him effectively level with Regal Flow at the weights) but quicker ground could see him at his best - defeated Native River at levels on quick ground over 3m hurdles last season.
A worry that without Bryony on board his jumping may let him down in the hurly burly that typifies a Scottish GN - pros and cons about jumping on better ground - but if he handles them OK he could well be there or thereabouts.0 -
Blimey - that was a seriously hot pace set by Gold Present and Vintage Clouds - 1.5secs fast of standard

anyone on here heading to sandown next Saturday or fancy as i have 2 tickets going to bomb it off to go the charlton game, paid £50 for the pair of tickets, happy to let someone have them for nothing, chuck a score to the upbeats would suffice.

Persuaded to have one last fling before packing the bucket and spade. At the price (40/1) I shall have a bob or two e/w on RELENTLESS DREAMER (aren't we all on CL?)
Level at the weights on paper with 7/1 Missed Approach (based on Edinburgh National). MA had immediate wind op (and then of course won the Kim Muir) but IMHO RD should be relatively better off at a trip on Saturday's better ground. Stable seemingly in better form.
Good luck all.2 -
the punchestown festival kicks off today cant wait to see douvan/min/uds going for it.
skybet current offer of douvan/getabird double at 4/1 i think that has a v good chance of landing. although my max stake was £19 on it.0 -
The 6:05 at Punchestown, Design Matters has moved from 100/1 into 6/1!!!
Race been won by the same trainer the last two years.0 -

Should clarify, was put on to it by someone. Thought might go off 33s....never thought it'd get to single figures0

Un De Sceaux at 13/2 means I'm freerolling the rest of the day (including recouping on the first couple of races). Lovely.0

Design Matters finished 4th, which id imagine isn’t good enough for a place with most bookie.0
