A few of my ante post bets went for a burton though, Five Dream looked lack lustre, Sea of Thunder was desparate and has convinced me the Irish will win most of the novice hurdles this season and maybe the chases too!
GDC,so long as
Boston Bob
goes for the ‘Neptune’ I wouldn’t be put off
Sea of Thunder
winning the ‘Albert Bartlett’ at all on yesterdays performance. This fellow is bred for the flat rather than jumping and the ground was like a bog at Leopardstown,granted good ground and a step back up to 3 miles he is still the one to beat come Cheltenham,his Sire ‘Old Vic’ ran a superb race in the 1990 King George at Ascot being beaten by his stablemate ‘Belmez’ who had only beaten that years Derby winner ‘Quest for Fame’ at Chester and his Grandsire ‘Supreme Leader’ was a proper Guineas horse being placed behind ‘Shadeed’ and ‘Bairn’ in the 1985 race,the best thing about yesterdays result is the fact he’s drifted out to 16/1! Get On!
