GRAND NATIONAL: WEIGHT FOR IT! Cheltenham declaration stages today and Grand National weights are announced this afternoon. Look out for Daqman’s ante-post reactions and his verdict on the weights.
SIR GINO OUT FOR THE SEASON
❌ CHELTENHAM UPDATE: The first odds-on ‘defeat’ at this year’s Cheltenham Festival is for Sir Gino (pictured below).
In a ‘dreadful blow’ to the owners and trainer Nicky Henderson, the hot Arkle favourite has succumbed to infection in a leg wound and is out for the season.
The Fighting Fifth hurdle winner was sent chasing, once the stable’s Constitution Hill had returned to form, but now faces a second successive festival on the sidelines, having missed the Triumph Hurdle when favourite last year.
Henderson blanked out at the entire 2024 meeting but is still the main man to take top prizes from Willie Mullins in March with Constitution Hill (Champion Hurdle, Tuesday, March 11) and Jonbon (Champion Chase, Wednesday).
⚠️ Daqman’s Cheltenham countdown starts next week
🔢 GRAND NATIONAL: Home hopes will be pinned on a can-do mark for Kandoo Kid (Paul Nicholls) and Irish eyes will be on last year’s winner I Am Maximus (Willie Mullins), when the weights are announced this afternoon.
Controversy – like the Tiger Roll debate – often surrounds the weight given to previous winners.
Noble Yeats won with 147 in 2022 and ran with 166 (4th) and 165 (19th) in the next two seasons.
I Am Maximus (159 was a winning weight last April) can expect 8lb more today, despite flopping at Leopardstown since in the Savills and the Irish Gold Cup.
Kandoo Kid won the Topham over the National fences last Spring, so his 7lb rise for taking the marathon Autumn Gold Cup at Newbury (off 145) in November might not seem adequate to the handicapper.
⚠️ Daqman’s National-weights verdict tomorrow
ONWARD AND UPWARD PROGRESS
⭕ 2.55 Lingfield This class-3 chase is like an oasis in a desert of donkeys. Five of the runners were winners in their last six starts; 10 paid you 18 profit on BETDAQ this morning.
Aworkinprogress has landed four in a row for an overall rise of two stone but is still on a handy mark for this. Getting 11lb from the top spot.
Nick Gifford training for J P McManus, who has had 11 winners in February so far for seven different trainers.
⭕ 4.30 Wolverhampton Success for Sovereign Sea in this one would complete a hat-trick for Roger Varian after winners at Lingfield and Wolverhampton in the last 11 days.
A 50,000gns yearling, Sovereign Sea made €200,000 as a two-year-old. An easy Newcastle winner in November, had a break before being beaten on the same course in a photo last month. Around 2-1.
PUT BETDAQ 7.1 IN THE KITTY..
⭕ 6.30 Wolverhampton Path To Dubai is the only four-year-old, like last year’s winner; and is drawn three, like last year’s winner.
But he’s up in trip against two CD scorers, both five-year-olds (Optician and Kitty Foyle), giving them both 6lb.
Kitty Foyle is the progressive one, not disgraced in three novices Listed hurdles, since getting off the mark over the sticks in September.
She won a class 6 here at Wolver in the Spring of 2024 but stepped up two grades to score at Goodwood in August. Tough and versatile; Betdaq Betting Exchange 7.1 taken.
⭕ 8.00 Wolverhampton Spanish Angel is a stone lower than his last winning mark on this course and could bounce back. In from 16-1 to 11-1 with bookies but 14.5 offers on the BETDAQ exchange at 10 a.m.
