looked that wau KC. Like most of us AP thought he only had one horse to beat.
That new extension Channel 4 use for their microphone to interview jockeys while mounted is a good idea and one I haven’t actually seen in my limited horse race watching career thus far. Channel 4 have covered sports like cricket and athletics very well before so it is of little surprise to see them as innovators.

Hoping those flat breds wont come up the hill in the bumper…
I am tempted by dare me and megastar in coral. think both are reasonably handicapped.
was looking at finians rainbow for the queen mother. think he might have a good chance.
Horse has no heart in my opinion BB but he is an obvious trend horse.
I think Bobs Worth could go very close to getting the better of Grand Crus tomorrow, he is far better going left handed and the way he ran on in the Reynoldstown after his wind op was very encouraging. I believe that Henderson’s yard are fairly confident about his chances as well
Very disappointed to hear of the loss of Garde Champetre today as well as Scotsirish.
Some criticism regarding the ground.
Have Bobs Worth backed in a single and did a lucky 15 of Bobs Worth, Simonsig, Sizing Europe and Vendor.
Also have a very small e.w acca of Teaforthree, Lambro, Featherbed Lane and Many Clouds
money or Megastar fp,
have have to issue a gnd warning re Grand Crus, rem pipe saying he didnt want it good last year…no waterhing tonight…except i dont know what to take him on with…maybe 10ew on Lambro, I find myself been drawn back to First Lieutenant, esp when you consider RoR win and their battle up the hill last year.
Cinder and Ashes was impressive, didnt realise he was the one who rooted the last, i thought it was montbazon…he was much stronger that last year
Didnt like the way SImonsig emptied v FIngal bay, the bay was 4/1, Simonsig 5/2…nah
Does Barber really train RoR?
Ya as far as I know he does. The stable girl that looks after him is from my home place, and I know that she was based in a satellite yard separate to the main yard.
i hope all those flat bred flop in the bumper
allez garde EW in first…
Will stick with the Lieutenant in the RSA
RTE news headlines “blah blah blah” and in sport " Gerrard inspires Liverpool to Merseyside Derby victory" not a mention of Cheltenham. Cunts.
Correction they did mention it, with the headline “3 horses die on day 1 of the Cheltenham festival” I am seething here. Cunts.
lot of evening money for dare me,prob stable winnings from Balthazar king
1.30 - already on Alfie Spinner @ 12/1
2.05 - gonna take a chance on Make Your Mark @ 9/1 with Boyles. He should appreciate the better ground. Not suited by bottomless ground in Leop last time. Much better than he showed. Happy to side with him rather than others at head of market.
2.40 - already backed Call The Police @ 25/1 and will stick with it
3.20 - really wish Hen had run Somersby in this. Sizing Europe a banker for me but can’t touch him at such a short price. Will probably take a punt on Gauvain or Realt Dubh.
4.00 - Almost impossible to take apart. More thought needed.
4.40 - Difficult race but happy to side with Bat Masterson
5.15 - Already on Moscow Mannon @ 25/1 so sitting on that.
