Holloway Queen received properly at Lingfield in November and she or he jumped soundly however Kelya Wooden might have been known as the winner a great distance from dwelling when profitable at Uttoxeter. She regarded superb and she or he appeared simple to deal with. There was extra within the tank and I can see her bettering for that run.
I like Iroko as a horse. He was at all times going to be favorite for this race.
However I went again to have a look at the Gold Cup once more and see if Jungle Boogie was flattered by the place he completed and he wasn’t in any respect. He was the third finest horse within the race for me, he simply did a bit an excessive amount of desirous to get nearer and simply bought a bit drained from the third final.
I’d have him as a most likely non-stayer past 3m anyway, so the actual fact he was nonetheless on the bridle after the third final fence says an terrible lot as there weren’t an entire lot in that race who had been.
He traveled higher than Bravemansgame and loads of others however simply ran out of stamina. The drop again to 2m5f will go well with him on good-ish floor. I’d very almost make him favorite for this race.
Well-known Bridge is the one they need to beat. He’s bought loads of weight on his again however he’s constructed to hold hit. He’s very dependable and he’s 2lb decrease than shaping higher than the end result advised within the Ultima at Cheltenham. There’s lots to love about him and the Nicky Richards yard are ticking alongside very properly.
I’d wish to be sure on the bottom. Good-to-soft will likely be completely positive for Robust Chief. Whether it is genuinely good-to-soft he’s arduous to beat right here. He improved stepping as much as 3m final season, operating very effectively within the Ascot Hurdle and bought higher at Aintree when he received.
Olly Murphy’s has a very good begin to the season too. He hasn’t at all times completed season’s as strongly, however he did final yr with Robust Chief’s performances being typical of the types of horses he’s producing.
Robust Chief has been a barely “guessy” jumper previously however along with his stamina confirmed he may nonetheless be getting higher on the age of seven, so whereas it’s not the best race on this planet, he’s bought robust credentials and is effectively value backing.
Victtorino is the blindingly apparent one given how effectively he completed at Newbury final time and that he’s nonetheless very well-handicapped.
He doesn’t deal with very deep floor and his chances are high elevated if the going isn’t any worse than the official description. Like Robust Chief, he can take his probabilities with fences at instances, and he’s the proper favorite right here.
Nevertheless, I’m inclined to take an opportunity on The Altering Man. He’s a horse I’ve preferred for a very long time. He has been held again by his leaping too, however Ascot may go well with him.
He ran very well within the Rehearsal Chase at Newcastle, trying the winner all the best way up the straight however not leaping the final two fences in addition to Frero Banbou, ending second. That type could be very stable. He’s up 5lbs within the weights, however he has proven quite a lot of instances over fences that he’s doubtlessly higher than that.
I’ll give him another probability at a much bigger worth than Victtorino.
I used to be with Dysart Enos at Cheltenham however I’m towards her as I’m not satisfied by the type of the Fergal O’Brien yard in the meanwhile. I like Black Hawk Eagle as an each-way shout.
I’ve preferred him for some time and he had a few respectable wins final season. His two runs this season have proven he nonetheless holds loads of potential.
He ran an honest second final day trip and the Kerry Lee yard are normally very constant. Her yard is getting again on observe after a barely gradual begin. Black Hawk Eagle is effectively handicapped off a mark of 122 and he can go effectively.
