Well while you flat boys ponder this and that about Longchamp I am Very Very Happy with the Good ground at Aintree all season my horses have been running on soft ground when all my horses want Good or Gd to FM ground and that's why my horse's did so well last week and with Mubaah Keeping the weights up in the National Alicedale will jump around Aintree like a Monkey on a Cupcake and take the National And Give me the Top Trainers by Prize Money Title so Paul Rhodes.

Come on guys, what are your horses clocking in the heavy over 5 at Longchamp in your trials then ????

55 flat

Thanks Paul.... I'll give that a miss then lol.

Mubaah I is going to put both of mine in just about bang on the ten stone mark and Ishtar will love the ground and stay longer than the mother in law

i'm joking mate

You can be so cruel....

Wont be risking my horse as looking at the G1 HCP's over 5 and 6 in the next 2 weeks at Flemington/Randwick got to be fast ground there, trying to google 10yr weather trend so can get an idea what Matt will give us (fast would be nice)

Depends on how the race secs run the race. Can someone please confirm this race should be run as open? Last 5f at Nunthorpe was run at 3+ (probably because there were no 2 year olds) but really these two races should be run as open according to league rules. Therefore the 3 year olds should be carrying 9st10 instead of 9st (+ penalties of course).

Well 5f is quite different from 6.5f. At 5f it's a dash from the gates and I don't know more stamina is better. Of all the sprinters I have Nehebka deals with the heavy ground best so gets the nod.

Qasser is in the 7f race not the 5f race

Andy it was decided as no two year olds was entered to run in the Nunthorpe to run the race as 3up but will run if I get that race to run Sunday as Open.

Gray

At the moment, there is at least one 2 year-old entered in the race, so it will be run as open. Otherwise, I'll run it as 3 year olds up.

imo there should not be any races for 2 year olds up in the league as the youngsters are simply not good enough to compete against their elders especially at Grp 1 level.

Kev.

if that 2yo runs will be interesting to see how it runs well done to the person who had the guts to give it a go

edit
just seen the 2yo trained by follis86

well done for giving it a go

thanks but I only put him in to check his form!
Sorry guys but he won't be running in this race

On second thoughts...

I can't fit him into another race this week so what's the harm in running him!

Will ensure the race is ran as open as well

I don't mind either way but it does make a difference to the race whether it is open or 3 year old +. Something that needs to be sorted for next season.
