at fishers cross

well lads I thought at fishers cross ran a cracker today has to have a big chance in world hurdle now

Panrich

His record around Cheltenham is very good and he has redeemed his reputation a good bit today but there's a couple of negatives still hanging over him. His jumping is still a worry and he has not been tested on anything better than good to soft. If the ground comes up quick at the festival it will put his suspect jumping under more scrutiny.

Who knows though. He might be all the better in a faster run race.

Have never been convinced by him and it didn't change today. He was beaten by Knockara Beau at the end of the day

And only 3/4 of a length ahead of a horse coming back from a long injury enforced lay off receiving 4lbs who he'll meet on level weights in March

If I had a racehorse I would put it with Becky Curtis - she is a rising star. Such attention to detail to get the horse right again. Listening to her before the race, you'd have thought the sky was going to fall in, so cautious!! Great ride by AP too in a fantastic race.

Don't think ground is an issue with AFC. But Big Bucks will come on for that run too….or may be not, time is not on his side.

"Fly in the ointment" of this form is Knockara Beau!! Really well done, is all I can say. The price reflects the market confidence. I just hope that someone backed it!

Anyone seen Boston Bob? Weather's pretty bad, have they sent out a search party? Probably all Barry's fault…or a plot for a decent mark in the coral cup.

The answer is very simple...zarkandar at 16's or, mala beach at over 20's or more of that.....

Only one reason you'd send a horse to Rebecca Curtis and it aint her training!!

Hmmm…..whatever. Boston Bob turned up yet?

Still some juice in the 16's about Rule The World imo. Super record going left-handed, will be better for better ground and no better man than Mouse to have them right for one day in March.

Will Salubrious run in the World Hurdle lads?? Would be all over him to place behind Big Bucks.

The way Nicholls was talking on The Morning Line, Zarkander will definitely run n it. Would he run 3 in it?

Celestial Halo too.

Zarkandar at 16's ridiculous

More of that at 7's completely unexposed currently sitting on an nice rating.

There the only 2 that interest me after yesterday's affairs
I'd consider doing a max ew bet on both

At fishers cross form has collapsed like a match stick building...sad given i thought he'd be the next superstar

More Of That was a very big price on Betfair last night. 14 to back but was 25 to lay

tipptom

Ran well but still thought his jumping was horrific,couldnt back him on his jumping no matter how impoved.

I just watched the race again. STD went for it way to far out on BB. What was the story with the ride on Boston bob...very peculiar

michael thomas

At Fishers Cross is a serious contender. He is on his way back to form at the right time. Has won on good ground but defo would rather a bog. Be great to see him win the world hurdle!! Big bucks will improve for that run as i agree with the fact that it was a public schooling session and why not do it that way? they got a competitive race into him and some prize money. win win situation.

Just watched it again and he just didn't want to go and Barry pulled him up. It could be a fair statement to say Cheltenham may not be a track to his liking.

Wouldnt have said that at all and see no reasoning behind why it wouldnt suit, he has finished second to an incredibly impressive winner in the Alber Barlett and was all over the winner of the RSA last year untill that blunder at the last and they were his only two previous runs there.

Yeah Agree on the RSA. I think he is a better chaser myself but still happy with the money I have on him. Hope that was just a bit of an off day.
