What a bounce back win from Matt Fitzpatrick after last week. Bogey free weekend 👏

@MaddocksDave @RoadCheltenham Inthepocket might be his for this. Won the 2 mile novice hurdle grade one here. Was going well in the Grand Annual.

@RoadCheltenham Between that and Downmexicoway! Henry has won it and a close 2nd with Dancing on my own. Won it off 144. Downmexicoway been dropped 2lb after finishing 4th at Cheltenham. Fancy it

👍 SANS BRUIT in the Red Rum Handicap Chase: 2024: Rated 134 when joining the yard, down to 130 for Aintree. Wins, up to 140. 2025: Drops 10lbs in 7 runs, down to 130. Wins, up to 139. Win again, up to 144. 2026: Drops 11lbs in 5 runs, now 133. Wins?

@NHRacingGuide @RoadCheltenham @GrahamClark85 Yeah I’d be suprised if Banbridge went for the national. Bowl would be his ideal trip on good ground. Won the manifesto there as a novice over 2 and half. Ran ok in the Ryanair but probably too short of a trip for him now. JB & GD had a tougher race in the GC also.

@peterathbone13 @RoadCheltenham @GrahamClark85 I see Banbridge is entered in the national. He wouldn't stay that trip surely? I hope they take him out I like Joseph's other horse at a price for it off a low weight, Jordans. Looks to have been laid out for it just needs 2 to come out

🔴⚪️ Nicky Henderson on JANGO BAIE, per @GrahamClark85: "We missed the Denman Chase because of the ground so I'd like to think he could run again. "I would like to go to Aintree if we can and he deserves to get his head in front in a Grade One again."

@NHRacingGuide @RoadCheltenham @GrahamClark85 Impaire Et Passe I would have thought if he sends Majborough or FTF to the melling. I’d have thought Banbridge will go the Bowl too. Heartwood another possibility for a race at Aintree.

@RoadCheltenham @GrahamClark85 Him and Grey Dawning be in it. Can't any of Willie's or Gordon's 1st string coming over

@StuartAkister @nickluck Kabral Du Mathan will probably line up in the Jack Richards off 140.

@nickluck Him to the Champion Hurdle, Kabral Du Mathan to the Arkle. Sorted

“I did say Arkle… but there’s no point in having a mind unless you change it now and again.” Dan Skelton says MYDADDYPADDY could stay over hurdles next season, rather than go chasing — with the Champion Hurdle in mind... 👀 open.spotify.com/episode/0ZuuxU…

To hit that bomb on that hole under those circumstances — wow. One of the best drives I’ve ever seen.

@ouijaboard00 @ykpaihi Can’t see them wanting to step up to 2 and a half miles at Aintree. Scottish Champion hurdle would probably be the next play and is more prize money. Might even be dropped a lb or 2 from yesterday!

@ykpaihi Didn’t look off a yard to me lol Aintree the plan maybe

Kielan Woods on tellherthename, you’ve got to laugh

@CliveWinward Hoping so. His 2 winners this week are horses he got from other stables so hoping the same today. Horse is dependent on good ground. The bleeding last time out is a concern. If gets near the novice form with Jango Baie then is very well weighted. Fingers crossed!

@peterathbone13 Timeform top rated, first run for new stable. Powder kept dry for ‘plot run’?🤔 #tellherthename

Dan Skelton getting Tellherthename in the county off 133 😂. 👏

@ouijaboard00 @Oliver1878 @tayz2017 Yes Kielan Woods will ride. If they have the horse over the issues and he retains even a little bit of the novice hurdle form with Jango Baie and Lucky Place, he’s very handy off 133. I would like to know how long they have had him at the yard though. Couldn’t find that out.

@peterathbone13 @Oliver1878 @tayz2017 Regardless of who they think has a better chance i’d have thought Kielan Woods would ride due to his association with the Megsons and then Harry on Sinnatra

Gonna have to find a new county horse as Khrisma as expected has no chance getting in 🤣

@ouijaboard00 @Oliver1878 @tayz2017 If he lines up, he’ll be the first string and be a single figure SP I would have thought.

@Oliver1878 @tayz2017 Big big chance off 133 with the nice ground Just wonder whether BSP could be higher on the day, if taking a price now. Skelton 2nd strings have won this at big BSPs before although they were more exposed

Patrick Mullins getting told he won’t be riding Gaelic Warrior
