‘Constitution Hill could have run in the Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton last Saturday which would have been infinitely more informative with a view to his future.’

THREE WEEKS UNTIL THE CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL 🎉

@bathb0y @Moray_Smith Hi Justin, where was article from JP team regarding their preferred choice? Thanks

@Moray_Smith Hiya. I have to go against the grain and say Ryanair. Two reasons. If the ground is on the quick side he could be in trouble. But more Important than my nonsense, after what I read this morning from the JP team, they were very much looking at The Ryanair as their preferred choice

Fact To File. Leave aside your pockets....I know that's not easy, but where would you run him at the Fez if he was yours?

@Moray_Smith Impressive

@ScottyMike9 We'll know more soon enough but I'd peg him a good bit higher than that one Mike.

@Moray_Smith thoughts on Old Park Star?

@Moray_Smith He reminds me a bit of Jeriko Du Reponet as a novice, think he was fav for supreme at one point, looks flashy and smart against lesser opposition but up in grade he was found out.

@ScottyMike9 I think he's definitely Nicky's best chance but he's one of many that have another stone to find. I much prefer Talk The Talk at a slightly bigger price. Would have won a Gr. 1 but for falling last time. Surely a better bet? I take it you like OPS, Mike?

@Moray_Smith Agree on Talk the Talk. OPS was visually good lto but don’t think the form is up to much. Horse 2nd that day was out with the washing in the Formby. I guess will learn more on Sat when he takes on Hurricane Pat who beat him in a bumper

Wayne marble saying here fishy fishy for the big fish is absolutely peak commentary

@Moray_Smith I enjoyed the majority of your book until you had to mention Allegorie de vassy with 2 pages to go. Don’t think I’ll ever have a bet like this again! 3000/1 into 1/3 jumping the last, before you ask, yes I did lay some off 🤦🏻

@ScottyMike9 Thanks Mike. 12/1 is a great price. A few shrewdies got on at those prices...not me though!

Lossiemouth is a very consistent and commendable mare. I think she's run to near enough the same figure as her two Mares Hurdle and Aintree wins. It's good enough to win a moderate Champion Hurdle but Sir Gino looks like he will have way too much speed for her to me.

@Moray_Smith Don’t think he’s quick enough over 2m. Can see him running at the DRF over 2m5f and being very competitive, probs his best trip for now. Would’ve been perfect for the mid trip novice race but it doesn’t exist anymore.

Just seen Romeo Coolio is available at 22 for the Arkle on Betfair. Really? I clearly don't see it as cut and dried as some do that he'll run elsewhere.

@NoseInFront Imagine he had a full knee ligament

@NoseInFront 25 lengths quicker than Con Hill’s time last year when he beat Lossiemouth on the same going description… think she should be mind

If you’re backing Sir Gino for the Champion Hurdle you may as well back Constitution Hill for the Champion Chase. Honestly, some people…

@NoseInFront @NoseInFront ….

@NoseInFront Will come back to this around Xmas time

🟡⚫️ He's back! SIR GINO has been declared to run in the Grade 1 Christmas Hurdle at Kempton Park on Boxing Day.

The greatest England batter to ever do it finally did it ⏯️ espncricinfo.com/story/joe-root… #Ashes

Just inexcusable Ashes coverage from TNT. The biggest cricket series in the world and you employ 2 non-cricket commentators as your 2 main guys, who aren't even in Australia. Genuinely astonished how they ever thought it would go down well. #Ashes2025

@RoadCheltenham @SportingLife She’ll be sound

🚨 Willie Mullins on LOSSIEMOUTH, per @SportingLife: "I think starting her out over this trip will answer a few questions for further into the season, including whether it can be a stepping stone to the Christmas Hurdle. "We just need to know about her in two-mile Grade Ones."
