April 12, 20241 yr Author Sarah 27 The Goffer (Ire) 7 10-8 Gordon Elliott IRE Sean Bowen 66/1 About: Best form when fourth in major handicaps at Cheltenham (3m1f) and Sandown (3m4f) last spring, albeit not seeing those races out nearly as well as those ahead; underperforming this term, capitulating badly from the home turn when a 34-length fifth back at Cheltenham (heavy) latest, so he probably does not have what it takes in this.
April 12, 20241 yr Author Houdini 2 Nassalam (Fra) 7 11-8 Gary Moore Caoilin Quinn 20/1 About: Revelation with two wins in refitted blinkers on heavy ground at Chepstow this winter, notably in tremendous style in the Welsh National (3m6f); has a 16lb higher mark here and never seriously figured when he had a tilt at the Cheltenham Gold Cup (33-1) but deep ground would boost his chance.
April 12, 20241 yr Author King Rollo 15 Eldorado Allen (Fra) 10 11-0 Joe Tizzard Brendan Powell 100/1 About: Won a maiden hurdle on heavy; recorded his best ratings in 2022; began this campaign in respectable fashion but last two outings were poor, given wind surgery in between but a respiratory noise was reported on latest start; stays 3m2f but this trip is major unknown territory.
April 12, 20241 yr Author Mart!n 12 Foxy Jacks (Ire) 10 11-4 Mouse Morris IRE Gavin Brouder 66/1 About: Best of his runs on heavy was his win in a maiden hurdle in 2020; fell in the 2022 Topham over these fences; won a Cheltenham cross-country race (3m5f, good to soft) in November, having come a cropper on two earlier attempts at that course, but this 8lb higher mark seems to demand another major career best.
April 12, 20241 yr Author Anita Hanjaab 7 Corach Rambler (Ire) 10 11-6 Lucinda Russell Derek Fox 5/1f About: Sole run on heavy was a win on rules debut; tasted success at two Cheltenham Festivals, coming from well off the pace, before the even sweeter prize of this race last year when he was never far away and had zero alarms before some idling in front after grabbing total control at the final fence (much earlier than usual); last month's Cheltenham Gold Cup (soft) seemed to show the ceiling of his ability, when it looked exceedingly hard work for him from the final fence, but that was while finishing an excellent third with career-best form; 13lb higher than last year but still well in and should go well if the Gold Cup did not make him dig too deep.
April 12, 20241 yr Author 8 Janidil (Fra) 10 11-6 Willie Mullins IRE Jody McGarvey 100/1 9 Stattler (Ire) 9 11-5 Willie Mullins IRE Patrick Mullins 50/1 14 Farouk D'Alene (Fra) 9 11-1 Gordon Elliott IRE Donagh Meyler 80/1 16 Ain't That A Shame (Ire) 10 10-13 Henry de Bromhead IRE David Maxwell 66/1 21 Minella Crooner (Ire) 8 10-10 Gordon Elliott IRE Kevin Sexton 80/1 23 Mac Tottie 11 10-9 Peter Bowen James Bowen 66/1 24 Chemical Energy (Ire) 8 10-9 Gordon Elliott IRE Danny Gilligan 50/1 34 Kitty's Light 8 10-7 Christian Williams Jack Tudor 14/1- Eight horses left Four spaces left. Anyone else interested??
April 13, 20241 yr Author 33 Chambard (Fra) 12 10-7 Venetia Williams Lucy Turner 66/1- AaronTM is a non-runner. So: AaronTM 16 Ain't That A Shame (Ire) 10 10-13 Henry de Bromhead IRE David Maxwell 66/1 About: The 18-runner Thyestes at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy) in January was a deserved big-race win, since which he's been bought by sporting amateur rider (same stable); has not had much racing for a ten-year-old but disappointed when both 6-1 at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival and just 10-1 in last year's National, in the latter weakening badly on the turn for home.
April 13, 20241 yr Author 19 Run Wild Fred (Ire) 10 10-10 Gordon Elliott IRE Tom Hamilton 80/1- Dobbo is a non-runner So: Dobbo 34 Kitty's Light 8 10-7 Christian Williams Jack Tudor 14/1 About: Stormed home in major staying chases on good/good to soft last February/April, winning the Eider (4m1f), Scottish National (4m) and at Sandown (3m4f); wore cheekpieces with tongue-tie last two occasions; uncompetitive this term, for which the handicapper has dropped him back just the 1lb; the ground is a bigger question (not often seen on soft or heavy) but he's reportedly blossomed since Cheltenham and there's no doubt he'll be suited by every yard of this race if he's back to form.
