  • Hello.

  • I'm delighted to be joined by Ladbrokes Ambassador Dan Skeleton here at large Field stables.

  • It really is beautiful round here.

  • Luckily, the Eben Banks haven't burst too far in this direction.

  • And Children systems really are Go first up.

  • Let's talk about all mankind.

  • Very impressive at Chepstow.

  • Last time out, all roads lead to try infertile.

  • Absolutely.

  • You can see what everyone can see on the race Course is what we see at home every day.

  • You know, easy, easy.

  • I won't call it a tearaway, but he's very strong and loves to get on with it.

  • And I was very happy with checks performance, obviously, and that he settled midway part.

  • The res on Ben took off up the street.

  • If we can get him there in that, that type of form, you know that that run enough would be enough to go close.

  • And if he's improved any in the interim, Well, all the better for us.

  • But I'm happy with him at the moment.

  • No negatives.

  • And, yeah, touch wood.

  • Absolutely.

  • Do you think he's the kind of horse that has to lead, or can you take a lead?

  • And what would you think I think if if somebody wants to go really fast, he'll take the lead Now I have been a bit worried about it, you know, a couple of months ago, but I think now he's he's fine on the end of day.

  • He's developed into a two mile area, understands now that you know where the finishing line is.

  • I think Warrick, we kind of got away with it in his first run that he was just far enough clear that, you know, Harry didn't have to ask him for any extra effort from turning in.

  • I'm not worried about that.

  • That's he takes preliminaries.

  • Well, atmosphere would get to him on Dhe like, say, we just need to get there in one piece after Goshen in the race as well.

  • And that's part our Do anything particularly make you worry, or you pretty happy with what you've got Europe yourself?

  • Yeah, I think the others have obviously got strengths and weaknesses, just like we have, Um, but we can only write out and train around horse and absolutely one other horses had an absolutely brilliant season winning machine is Myra Bandera, who goes for the Arkle.

  • She's actually bull of the horse remember seeing a Stratford recently?

  • And she she was very impressive.

  • Look out on all systems, go for absolutely and, you know, whatever.

  • Whatever chance she's got on on softest ground, chances massively improved by being a bit better ground Hope.

  • We just get a dry week before telling them.

  • You tell them could dry out so quick everyone will be taking bets on soft, heavy star.

  • You get a dry week before then and it drives rapidly.

  • I hope for her that that's what she gets because she is a different animal with a bit of with a bit of a sounder footing.

  • But she's done nothing wrong.

  • We got away with soft around the other day over a little bit further.

  • Huntingdon.

  • She's She's very, very good.

  • She gets £7 being a match.

  • I think the race is open, you know, I think if any of four or 51 you could say, Well, yeah, absolutely.

  • Another mayor whose works he won last season.

  • Great One Cos Rocks honor.

  • How you feeling about her chance?

  • And she has taken on some of the boys recently.

  • She has disgraced us of at all.

  • You have a big chance again this year.

  • I think she's got a chance of defending a crown and we've prepped her specifically for that.

  • You know, since New Year's Day, we said Brooke will stay fresh now.

  • It is a good run in New Year's Day and I wanted to see a good run off the back of a basket where, to be honest with you, I let I let her down a bit.

  • I was frustrated that we got beat up at Aintree and I thought, Just get back out there and see if you can win this good race and they shouldn't have done it.

  • It was too soon, and she did put a good run in at New Year's Day when her opposition didn't have a Class one penalty.

  • The boys, you know there is one or two of the boys out there that can beat her, and we know that.

  • But Your Honor day, she's good.

  • America's there is in England for sure.

  • Obviously, Benny and Honeysuckle we're gonna issue that's gonna say, Give us another, give us another problem, but I'll just have to do the best on the day, you know, on dhe she if she's there to do her best.

  • She'll make the others room absolutely fingers crossed.

  • You can use the business now.

  • Obviously, you've made your mark and handicaps the Children festival over the last couple of seasons.

  • I know you've got a big team headed for the handicaps this year.

  • Spirit of games.

  • Where's he liked to go?

  • I should say You go in the plate and I will just give him an entry in the grand manual, just in case it's really soft, and we could see a faster 12 mile one suiting around that track.

  • It's been frustrating that we haven't landed one with him.

  • Yeah, Azzam.

  • Sure everybody can see.

  • But not quite so many time doesn't exactly.

  • He's actually never won one chase.

  • Really?

  • Yeah, it's amazing.

  • What exactly?

  • The fair?

  • The handicapped didn't put him up for that second on Trials day.

  • So that's they start something.

  • Absolutely, Um, Andi.

  • I think he'll run his race.

  • It's a very competitive race.

  • Will also travel.

  • Whole grains would in the race, went to Tufts as well.

  • Beaks townsmen entered, but it's more like it's run on the Tuesday so I think we could have a think they have a strong hand in that right?

  • Grab an old grave.

  • Would, as you say, is really improved this season.

  • Would you give me a chance of improving yet again?

  • I think I would Yeah, no reason why not He He's one of the track.

  • He stays well, goes on a bit softer ground nowadays.

  • The improvement of that horse when we gave him a breathing operation in the autumn is incredible.

  • And I'm just glad up.

  • Glad I spotted it because he didn't really make a lot of noise.

  • And then one day on the Hill Gallop here.

  • I just heard it.

  • I remember ringing up.

  • Chris Giles is owned a straight away and saying, I think I might have found what's been bugging us wherever we went to the last two entries on really fancied him for the three mile the race before the Grand National on Dhe.

  • He's been third.

  • Think twice, and we're all like, Oh yeah, great run.

  • You know, that's fine, but where's the extra comments?

  • We found it.

  • Good, Great.

  • Also, when you go to protect her out for John Hale's to be great, to get to see him get a winner He's like, It's for the county hurdles.

  • That right?

  • Always.

  • Carl.

  • Carl.

  • Yeah, he's got entries in a couple of the grade ones as well, but I I'm definitely going down the coral cut route at the moment, which I think he's prominent in the betting for.

  • I've left him in the other aces, just in case opposition deflector.

  • Don't make it or whatever.

  • You know, I just thought we'd better give ourselves the option.

  • But realistically, he's heading for the The Coral Company.

  • Brings in good novice form.

  • Good round the track.

  • Um, faster on race will definitely suit him.

  • Um, and he is one of those horses that I could see a little bit like William Henry last year.

  • You know, Probably 12 to out.

  • Yeah, it's flying home.

  • Yeah, Yeah, he's that type.

  • Of course, he isn't the one that will turn in in front of Andi, you know, pick three lengths on him and off he's gone.

  • It won't be like that.

  • He could be a typical flying at the end type of type of winter if if he was able to do so.

  • Excellent.

  • One horseshoes quite impressed me.

  • Actually, this season in nervous Chase's night in Dubai was you found sound Brown a bit too hot to handle last time out, but he's like its head for the novice Handicap.

  • Getting day, isn't it?

  • Yeah, you're definitely go there on DDE.

  • He's I've always really liked this horse.

  • Um, he led the Coral Cup turned in last year.

  • He run okay, Aintree over hurdles.

  • He's got his act together offenses, and I just got to get in there right on the day.

  • And if he is, he's, he's he's got some sort of chance for sure.

  • It's funny that the owners that one brief a year is going to tell on last year he led the letter.

  • And in the Carl Crawford, I think they have the thrill of a lifetime.

  • It wasn't quite to be at the end of the race, but I think for those 15 or so seconds leading down the hill, it was is he could be a player good.

  • He could be a player looking marketing.

  • It gets you in the race now.

  • I was like, Yeah, yeah, I mean, no point trying be too clever and you sneak in under the radar.

  • You just don't get in unless you've got a Plutarch, your short.

  • So how are we going?

  • And it was remarkable.

  • U Unless you've got one like that, then really, it's a novice.

  • It's near enough level.

  • Wait, novice Chase.

  • Andi, I think you know any standard week.

  • They never chase not 245.

  • He has got to be a player in, so there's no reason to think he won't be there.

  • Yes, the county heard has been a racist had huge success for you in the last couple years.

  • Who've you got lined up for that?

  • Um, I'll enter Chigi Bellow again, but he could go to Kempton or font.

  • Well, miss, tell them, Go to entry.

  • I've got a few other entries from hired.

  • He's always a stand in addition in that race.

  • Good old boy.

  • Happy with him.

  • It's handicapped.

  • Market seems to have been very highly waits for far too long is you started to come down a bit.

  • Now what you think is fair enough.

  • Handicap.

  • Now he's getting somewhere close, but he did a remarkable thing.

  • Um, obviously not last year's.

  • The year before he won two big handicaps in one calendar year, which is isn't really it's incredibly hard to dio.

  • Andi won say he won two of them, so he was always gonna pay a bit of a price for that on.

  • We had a go at, you know, the Champion Hurdle trial, and we proved that we're not open grade.

  • We we proved that were handicapped.

  • Israeli and Onda, very hide handicapper, oversee one more prize money than most open on Thursday.

  • So getting back to mark where it's potentially possible.

  • But, you know, he was a bit of surprise that they wanted to help them.

  • You could do again.

  • I'm sure he hasn't won his last race.

  • Excellent.

  • And you got a hard lesson for the national hunt Chase 50 50 on him.

  • He'll also get entry into Kim Yuna Kim.

  • You could suit him better, but his owner is quite relaxed and because to tell them to go to tell him if he doesn't, he doesn't, you know, And I think with a bit of luck, he's the type of horse that you could hear hair off for four.

  • So seasons going forward.

  • Midland's nationals and Welsh nationals, maybe even a grand national runner one day, you know, is that type of horse So, um, whether he goes or not, I don't know if the ground was supposedly turned up with fancy.

  • So if he turns up probably a little tip.

  • Yeah, well, fingers crossed to Mork unexposed horses of yours.

  • Langer, Langer down and Sham Blue.

  • What?

  • The plans for them actually both run on Wednesday.

  • Sham Blue.

  • I should imagine all running the Ballymore.

  • Andi, it's gonna be hard in that race.

  • And for obvious reasons, I think he improved from Warrick Toe Huntingdon Officer, we took on Shishkin Huntingdon, which is a hard, hard task.

  • But I think he improved on DDE.

  • I think he will outrun himself in the Alamo.

  • He's a good or excellent place to look forward to our Channel festival.

  • Hopefully you can build on your two winners you had last year down.

  • Thank you very much indeed.

  • A pleasure on best of luck.

  • No, I love it.
