As commented earlier on the Daily Thread thought Russian Hawk was an unlucky loser at Ascot.

He is a big strong horse and for sure a work in progress, but has already shown especially today he has a real engine

Has two entries for the Festival and I have backed him each way for both BOG & NRNB with Bet 365

Ballymore @ 50-1 & Albert Bartlett @ 33-1

Am intrigued to see how Philip Kirby handles the recent big purchase Blaklion

Think the Grand National is the ultimate aim, but saw enough on his hurdle qualifier run a couple of weeks to suggest he would have an each way squeak in the Pertemps on the Thursday.

So have backed him for that race NRNB & BOG at 33-1 with Bet 365

Lol ......fantastic run ...only 2nd run learnt a lot and improved a stone from his 1st run if he improves again even 7lb then I dont see what could beat him and in Henderson's hands I think hes value for more than 7lb ....very very interesting horse ......I think the coral double your winning offer is calling ...lol

It's the supreme and anything can happen ....I hate Mullins in races like this but I've just got a feeling Henderson is gonna do well this year  and hes got a fantastic record of placing in the supreme so he deserves a win I'm thinking an ew double on supreme and another race looks a fair shot at a big prize .....just gotta find a decent priced horse now for 2nd leg lol

That's the thing that annoys me .....you dont know who's running where ....I'm ready to rate every race but with 40 runners declared and some horses entered for 3 or 4 races I cant do nothing .....just hope most have finalised by weekend so I can get going ....... loving the offers on sky and coral though on first races .....money back if lose sky ......and double winnings coral ......shot to nothing in first race every day

yep it’s about time there was a rule that they had to declare a week in advance or some such. 

it’s ridiculous that we’re a week out with no clue who’s running where :rolleyes:

I thought they were supposed to be putting a stop to it especially Mullins ....he changes the day before what chance have you got ........gotta be honest though I like Angel's for supreme double winnings bet with corals and saver on say grand sancy with money back sky only because Nicholls is so bullish that hes so good .....well that's the first race ...only another 20 to go lol

Finished my ratings for supreme ....

AI dancer   305 

Angels breath   300 

Grand sancy   298

Each has got negatives ai dancer ran in a hcap last time and was very impressive but no hcap horse has ever won the supreme ...that's a biggy but was very impressive and is probably the strongest to ever attempt.....

Angel's breath learnt a lot last time and no shame on only 2nd run and giving 5lb negative is only 17 days to come on and most winners of  supreme won last time although he only went down by a small margin 

Grand sancy ticks lots of boxes but 11 starts over hurdles is big negative as usually goes to lightly raced fast improving type ....Nichols has said as good as al ferof  previous supreme winner... .personally I think one of these 3 will definitely win the supreme ....hard to choose. ......no horseover 7 runs has won and no hcap horse ever so strict trends say its angel left on his own ....but who for the saver ??

Speed ratings 

Ai dancer   144

Angel's breath 136

Grand sancy 136 

With the ease of AI dancers 144 and his unbeaten profile this season he has yo be the saver over grand sancy

Sadly the owners are keen to take the handicap route and the horse runs instead tomorrow at Sandown

Finally got ultima weights ...rated race and very interesting 

Flying angel    310  33/1 

Willie boy    309  33/1 

Give me a copper 304  11/2 

 These 3 ahead of rest and I dont like Nicholls give me copper as I think hes ridiculous price and Nicholls record in race is diabolical so top two ew are no brainers for me both with 365 nrnb 10pts ew ...if one of those wins it's all over boooooom

Just adding big river to my ultima duo above 33/1 is overpriced and bottom weights have a good recording race ...

Coral cup ratings 

Highest sun     300

Eragon de Chaney   296

Very tough race as youd expect but there was a lot to like about highest suns latest run overc2mile ....absolutely win on the bit and on a huge upward curve just what you want in race like this  ..20/1 looks vastly overpriced if he gets the distance .....eragon de Chaney is better than recent run where race wasnt run to suit ....still looks fairly hccapped and could run well at big price 

Highest sun 10pts ew 20/1 bet365

Eragon de Chaney 10pts ew 33/1 bet365
