Captain Redbeard and Hoblon Des Obeaux. Its going to be a real slog today in that ground and both of these look tailor made for it

Matt Chapman really degrades the event by hosting coverage on ITV, that fella should be in a cage in a circus

I heard a few minutes of an interview with Davy Russell as I nipped out to the shop at half-time in the Real Madrid-Juventus robbery the other night and was very impressed with his genuine passion for horseys and his frustration that horsey racing is so intertwined with the gambling industry.

I think Davy and Tiger Roll will do the business today and I’ll be backing up that opinion with a modest cash outlay.

I’ve also stuck a few quid on Maggio.

It would be very poignant if James Bowen could win aboard Shantou Flyer, following the death of Jim Bowen last month.

I’d have my doubts about Tiger Roll’s jumping

I don’t want to see him rolling around on the ground.

Got 550 on an English trained winner @ 10/11 with Tully & 500 on an Irish trained winner @ 6/5 with Harcourt. Cant take out any more cash at the atm :frowning_face_with_open_mouth:

Vieux lion rouge in the office sweep

Backed gaslineboy & u conti

I backed tenor because I prefer tenor to alto. That’s science so it is.

Sound quality of the commentary is very poor.

Being drowned out by the crowd.

Wouldn’t happen on the BBC.

We did it. :clap:

Oh my God. The first six horses all Irish trained.

Up the RA.
