    Not one for giving out about jockeys but Joey went far to early there, he did far too much going around the final bend..

    First time poster here lads enjoy the threads on racing,they are a lot more uplifting than the Waterford GAA thread at the minute. Think Roalco Des Farges might outrun his odds in the 3.45 at Cheltenham.The trip is more suitabe than his last two runs

    great first post, well done

    Absolutely. He really is a game game horse. Got me out of a hole there had Al Kazeem each way too, 25/1 how on earth was he that big.

    They'd never meet on that ground. He beat the 2nd here 6 3/4 l in the Irish Champion.


    The winner is an improver, bit surprised ( not really ) he had the stamina to hold on when he got caught.

    Regarding Chicquita, that is the first time in a post race description I've seen 'threw it away'. Though she did run into a bush when about to win a Chantilly maiden last year

    I have no fewer than four horses from my tracker running today. Le Bec could prove a cut above these despite his mark of 149 and can take this before going on to better things.

    Badly out of own, Ask Dad is extremely well handicapped based on some form in England but even on Irish form earlier in the year. He's worth a small chance at Cork over his preferred trip and a good draw at 25/1

    Leading Light was disappointing I knew I was giving too much credit to a heavy ground maiden win. Ask Dad placed at 25:1 he could strike soon one to watch

    To be fair to Al Kazeem he has improved a good few pounds since Leopardstown.

    And he's probably better going right-handed.

    It's very soft ground form not to be taken as anything else. Al Kazeem is a notably big strong horse that ploughs through the soft ground and Noble Mission to my eyes on his physical appearance today looks to NOW be even more muscular than Al Kazeem.

    Noble Mission's barely lasting home ahead of the 100 rated Euphresia ( a horse who's been thrashed twice on similar ground since ) in the Tattersalls and a few other of his good but not great GP1 wins in the mud make it hard to rate him too highly. Which is why it's surprising that Al Kazeem didn't outstay him to the line.

    In fairness, it was a fast time on the ground compared to the other races.

    Quite fancy Avidly in the 8:45. Way down in the ratings after going very close in a few maidens. Switched over to Wolverhampton tapeta, this may very well go close today. 12/1 e/w shot.
