King George/Stephens Day 2018

piplip87

I'm giving Thistlecrack one last chance. Will split my bet with Bristol too. I fancy Bague Au Roi  for the Kauto Star.

In Lepordstown I've done coco beach in the juvenile won well in France and could be one to watch going forward.

Also have Bel Aml Sivola done.

Getabird, Didtheyleaveyououttoo, and Bouvir D'air in a treble too

Don't believe he's a "Haydock" horse?

Fragile that’s all. We all thought he was a heavy ground horse too before his last run so I’m willing to take a punt he’s just hard to keep right , this being his 2nd run, hopefully he’s still ok.

Thought I'd pop the head in to wish everyone a Happy Christmas! All is well with me and will try post more in the New Year!

Huge, huge fan of Waiting Patiently in the King George and think he'll take the step up to 3m in his stride. Think he'll drift out to about 6/1 at one point tomorrow given the less fashionable trainer and although its not a lump bet for me certainly will be a backer (against two horses I really like in Native River & Might Bite)

Handicaps have always been where I've made my dough and 3.20 Wetherby Lester Kris 12/1 looks really interesting to me on handicap debut. Running for the in form Micky Hammond yard, it's very interesting to see Joe Colliver dash from riding an odds on shot at Sedgefield at 1.30 to make the last here when surely he could have picked up a ride at Sedgefield with this trainer having other runners there (most shorter prices). Lester Kris very much caught the eye on his stable debut at Catterick last month under this pilot when he didn't look too knocked about in 3rd and with the from looking decent I think his opening mark underestimates him. Micky Hammond like a winner on Stephens Day and had 2 on the card at Wetherby last year and I think this one should hopefully land the spoils.

Caraline 6/1 bolted in in the same 1.35 Wetherby contest last year off a stone lower mark and I think she's been aimed at this race again. Despite being pulled up on her reappearance, she had a similar run on her return last year when tailed off and I think she should be spot on for this. She's only 4lb below the mark she signed off with victory last season and hopefully Micky can repeat his feat of achieving a double on the cards with these two this year.

Any trainers horses in really good form at the moment? Ones to stay away from?

jimjamcos

Lads, Waiting Patiently races in his sleep so would be absolutely amazed if he doesn't stay a soft 3m.

If he doesn't win it'll be because he's not good enough but I've rarely been as confident in how a race will pan out - Native River pushes pace, Mite Bite tracks, Waiting Patiently is produced at the last, with rest not good enough.

We're going to see a star tomorrow.

Welcome back Rossom.


King George. If there is a young pretender that is set to dominate over the next few years, it may be Waiting Patiently and his connections clearly have been very patient with the limited runs this horse has made in recent years. Still think he may have to wait til next year. Why is Native River such a massive price ? There are so many questions against the rest.

For me its Native River, Waiting Patiently, Politologue in the first three.

Thought it interesting that Ruby is going to Limerick with Townend at Leop.

Ruby is going where the winners are. Willie’s horses won’t like the ground in Leopardstown. Ruby would go anywhere for a winner and he’ll get one in Limerick.

ready4liftoff

Latest conditions at Leopardstown suggest it is Good to Yielding on the hurdle track and Good on the chase course.

Will officials at the Foxrock venue start watering the track? I know watering on racecourses in the winter is virtually unheard off. But if they leave the ground as it is, there will definitely be some firm in the going description come tomorrow!

My best bet of the day is - Wait for me who runs in the 1:25 in Wincanton. Had recent wind surgery and will like the going for this once class horse, who is well handicapped if he returns to his best.

Wincanton 2:35

Dicosimo ran well last time in a much better race than this, after being too free early one. Some of his past form is easily good enough here and i fancy him to never see another horse. 16/1 is certainly value

1 Point win 16/1 hill/vc 14/1 gen

longshotvalue

1:20 Kempton
@sevenbarrows doesn't have too many 122 rated horses and I wondered why. His first race over jumps was a shambles and i think with a normal passage here that rating could be made to look silly.
2 Points win 7/1 Generally

3rd in this race last year. 5lbs higher today but only the 3 runs since last year's race and ran a cracker fto this campaign which should put him bang on for today

The Big Bite for me here in Kempton

Mr Fisher impressive

Faugheen

Coure Sublime was going to win that before falling at the last. Devastated. Hope horse and jockey are ok most importantly.

Serious guts from the mare in Kempton

The conspiracy theorists will have enjoyed that one from Ruby

Johnson deserves a lot of credit too,brilliant ride

Santini still wins the RSA. Jock kept taking the horse off his rhythm. Few extra furlongs and possibly softer ground will suit more. Kempton was never going to suit him.

Money for Ellie Mac in the next, steaming in since last night

Shanee.

Le Richebourg... WOW

Angliru

Woops

You were told he is no superstar

Few fingers burned there

DDC1990

Jay's. BD beaten on the line it looks like.

Made a shocking error at the 3rd last.

Itziger

Oh dear, oh dear. Some big bets gone south there I'd say. The mistake probably didn't help but shouldn't have lost that.

Thought Nico gave up way too early given Santini would get home and the front too putting in sketchy jumps near the end.
