Bachasson is far too short for a Grade 3 2m hurdle in the 115. Hes a 2m4f horse.
Coeur Sublime is the value in that one

Winston C an interesting runner in that race, for the Americans

The Mig

Bachasson getting weight off his 3 main market rivals on ground he absolutely loves. Out from the front and won’t be bet IMO regardless of the trip

I thought Bachasson was a good thing also. Race conditions make it hard to beat.

And I thought Hills of Antrim would be a winner wherever she ran next time after running The Stattler close, considering she never jumped. Thought it was a 1/2 shot. Double for me.

Ilikedwayurthinkin is an interesting runner in the 3:45. Will have to go very close to winning this if he's to get into the Plate at Cheltenham. Stepping back up in trip will definitely suit. I'm expecting a big run today.

I was looking at the race last night and thinking CS was the bet. I'm now thinking I'll sit back and watch because I don't think its ludicrous to think they might try go for the county hurdle with this boy and if so theyd like to finish 3rd or 4th here. Near the head of the weights off a strong gallop, Keith be well able to do the weight. He could be interesting in it.
Nr now

Baltimore Bucko, one of the American horses based here for a few months runs in the 2.45 Naas, ran a cracker at Limerick the last day, jumped lovely, travelled a bit keen the only issue so hopefully has learnt from that.
Has jockey claiming another few lbs off today and the form of his xmas run working out pretty well. Hell be trying for sure and is a nice ew price.

I'd say hes a tryer for sure. They have him too well handicapped. I could see him being one the Bha handicapper wouldn't give a single extra pound to just to keep him out of the race if it came to it.

This won't be winning. 4th or 5th place finish will be the order of the day.

Did you see his rating? He keeps going down the weights hell struggle to get into the National down in Ballinrobe. :pac:

Slattsy

They are going balls deep on Persia in the first.

Keeps going down the ratings? He has only got his chase mark. English handicapper will lump 7-10 pounds on top of his Irish rating which would get him into a novice handicap in Cheltenham if they are bothered bringing him.
Fourth or fifth today wouldnt see him getting dropped.

Hayley Turner rides in the first at " Woolie " today. Her only ride today.

Other winners include

Naas
1.15 Grand Roi - won at Christmas when Elliott couldn't buy a winner, more to come.
3.15 Pencilfulloflead - if they raced over 5 miles this thing would win, 3 miles on heavy is his bag.
3.45 Stormy Judge - looks about right at 7/1 if it is trying - small beans win only.
4.15 Stalker Wallace

I meant relative to his hurdles mark. They have the low mark they were looking for. If they've any cop on which they have they'll not want to go down any further or they'll get into nothing in March.

Not shocked as didnt think he'd need to be anything special to win this. Coltor looked seriously one paced last time at Punch and not sure hogan horse that finished ahead of him is much better. Missed bigger prices though so just a watch.

Edit: happy to have sat that one out anyway! Finished in a bit of a heap so hard to know what to make of it, but French Aseel connections be happy enough at least. Halifax maybe the one to note from it.

Ah well, I couldn't have been more wrong. Bachasson very impressive. Interesting to hear his Festival target after that.

Big drift suggest it won't be trying.

Sure anyone with half a brain and any knowledge of how they operate could tell you that!! Trying first time in a handicap? Give me a break.

He might be that well handicapped they there is a chance he will get away on them but Mark Walsh will take a big exaggerated pull at one of the fences to lose a few lengths!!

posturingpat

He wont be running at Cheltenham over fences that's for sure. :pac:
