    many happy retirements but sandown have basically marketed there jumps finale around cue cards last run, will they give a refund?

    instead of running it will now be parading isnt exactly the same although i think it should of been retired after cheltenham.

    That's Sandown Park's problem, not the connections of Cue Card.
    Anyone that buys a ticket just because one horse is supposed to be running is always taking a risk, as the horse could easily become lame or off-colour at any time leading up to the raceday.

    No inside track on these. Over the jumps I need help but this is proper racing!!

    no of course i was just curious as seems like a silly marketing strategy welfare of the horse is certainly a lot more important. as i think it should of been retired last year.

    Good half of it to start Bob! Have them in a double, and then a L15 including Porth Swtan who just won at 4/1. Here's hoping!

    Two and three-quarter lengths. Haven't seen it either, mind, but that sort of distance sounds fairly comfortable!

    Was sitting quietly in 4th/5th on the outside until the last furlong and a half then just powered past the rest. Looked like a good horse.

    RL Moore should've raced far more prominently. Seemed a little careless and lazy from all the jockeys except the top two - not realising Fortune's Pearl was setting a consistent pace.

    Simply a case of the horse not being able to go that pace and unable to quicken off it, unlike Mildenberger, who sat a few lengths back, just in front of Kew Gardens and then quickened going into the dip.
    Best horse won (I backed Kew Gardens!).

    The Young Master @ 25/1 for Saturday's Scottish GN is very appealing.

    After the Midlands GN I'm absolutely all over Regal Flow (like I was then, woo). Was very taken with his run. A 4lb rise isn't exactly prohibitive.
    Do you know if he's an intended runner Paddy?
    I'd like his chances too, but I'm a bit concerned about the ground drying out too much.

    Can understand why Vicente and Vintage Clouds are both fancied for the Scottish GN on Saturday (though latter won't be helped if ground really dries out) but COGRY looks interesting e/w value at 25s IMHO.
    2lbs worse off with Vicente but was only just reeled in by him last year, just 6 days after he'd finished a close 2nd over 3.5 miles.
    Does blow hot and cold, as last run at the Festival reminds (cheek pieces left off for first time in a while then) but his 2nd, giving weight, to Milansbar (ahead of Missed Approach) in the Warwick National in January was a fine run and Scot Nat often sees repeat good performances.
    If the ground does dry up, I'll likely be pairing him with stablemate BENBENS (twice close 3rd in the race) at 40s e/w.
    Ditto, if he lines up, ALVARADO at 33s (also twice close before on decent ground).
    Progressive young chasers often come to the fore in the Ayr marathon but there's still life, and e/w value, in these old fellas.

    He's in the final field - I didn't have too much of a clue, but I think it was the natural race progression. I'm loving my boosted 30/1 and 25s elsewhere!

    As for today - there's a lot of good racing on, but if you had to be on one horse then surely it's LE BRIVIDO @ 7/4 (3.00 Newmarket) despite the skinny odds.

    I'm also very intrigued by SURYA @ 11/2 (2.25 Newmarket). Same breeding as Cracksman - Frankel x Pivotal - and holds both Dante and Derby entries. Dettori/Gosden combo - looks like a very exciting prospect, even more so than most in that field. Unsurprisingly, both Karaginsky and Military Band are at the top of the market, but yeah. I'm well excited to watch that race.

    Echo your thoughts on the 2.25. Should be intriguing.
