Equinties - Tingle Creek weekend

Equinties

Gm Equinauts

We typed up this newsletter last night assuming Nicky Henderson’s horses were all running but in classic Hendo fashion, CONSTITUTION HILL, SHISHKIN and WILLMOUNT are all non-runners owed to the deep ground on the hurdles course.

We are furiously changing some text but apologies if some write up’s read as if Hendo’s monsters are still in it!

What a damp squib of a Saturday!

Now, let’s dive in.

You’ve all heard of Viagra. The one time, pump and dump pill. Lasts what - 30 minutes? Rubbish.

For the first time ever, Cialis is available without prescription. And boy it’s an absolute game changer.

Approved for medical use only in 2003, the French call it ‘le weekend’ because basically this thing lasts in your system for 3 day.

Boner’s on demand, for 3 three days!

Perfect for a weekend away when you know you’re going to need a little help.

Try it through UK MEDS, use discount code EQUINTIES10 and thank us later.

p.s none of this is medical advice but we’ve tried it…

HEADLINE ROUND UP

BROWN ADVISORY CLUES

Yesterday, STAY AWAY FAY was cut in from 8/1 for 11/2 for the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase due to his gritty success in the Grade 2 Esher Novices’ Chase at Sandown.

For the more immediate future, Paul Nicholls has highlighted the Grade 2 Reynoldstown Novices’ Chase at Ascot in February as a potential target, though a step out of novice company for the Grade 2 Cotswold Chase on Cheltenham Trials Day was also suggested.

Looking past these races, how does Paul Nicholls’ exciting novice shape up for something like Brown Advisory?

Nicholls doesn’t have an illustrious history with the Brown Advisory as he has only won one of the last 16 renewals, though DENMAN and STAR DE MOHAISON provided the boss of Ditcheat with a 2006-2007 double.

Much like DENMAN, the Albert Bartlett-winning six-year-old is a brilliant jumper, and, above all else, he has a mighty engine. Just look at yesterday’s contest against the smart GIOVINCO; he looked like a loser coming down the Sandown straight, though he jumped with accuracy and flew up the tough Sandown hill.

At this early stage, it looks as if GAELIC WARRIOR will stay at two-and-a-half miles for the Turners Novices’ Chase, as is the same STAY AWAY FAY’s stablemate HERMES ALLEN, and it looks as if CORBETTS CROSS might head down this route too.

The last time these two met was in the Albert Bartlett, a race that saw STAY AWAY FAY do it the hard way from the front. Who knows what would have happened if CORBETTS CROSS stayed within the track, but our guess is he ducked out when things got tough coming. Plus, it doesn’t exactly look like STAY AWAY FAY was going to be passed.

One may argue that because he isn’t an Irish horse he is still slightly underrated because, which is wrong because on the face of it, he looks like a proper horse.

Do you want one to keep an eye on at a price? AMERICAN MIKE might be kept to two-and-a-half miles this season, but what he did over fences at Navan in November was impressive and could be even better if stepped up to three miles.

He has three Christmas entries over two, two-and-a-half, and three miles, so more information will be revealed in time.

Now, for this weeks action - LFG!
