Any fancies for the national today? First year in ages that I haven’t been back there for it.
Hoping to get back tomorrow instead.

Last years 2nd place QuestionsAnswered is back in at the same weight, so can’t be ignored. He was well backed before last years race but the party was spoiled slightly when the stables second string came from nowhere to beat him. The lack of a prep run is a slight concern though.

Muirhead could be a lively outsider off a nice mark, but his age profile doesn’t suit race trends (winners are usually 8 or younger).

uncanny. two runners gone from the Kerry National field. Number 20 gets in.

I am the same mind at Treaty, horses repeatedly run well in this from year to year and QA fits the bill @ 12/1

Serious word for Wise Oscar aka No.20. Cooper is very sweet on him.

Kid_Chocolate · September 18, 2013, 2:51pm

Mac · September 18, 2013, 4:08pm

I’ve backed all 4 of mine posted earlier.

carryharry · September 18, 2013, 4:21pm

Good man @Mac . Any fancy in the next?

JBL · September 18, 2013, 4:25pm

Only heard this fella mentioned once!

dancarter · September 18, 2013, 4:27pm

WSL wasn’t one of em was he? He’s the worst loser in training for me I’d say has cost me a fortune. I’d say Hughes didn’t expect that considering cooper picked WO

TreatyStones · September 18, 2013, 4:27pm

What did Mac do?

Mac · September 18, 2013, 4:32pm

Everything

TreatyStones · September 18, 2013, 4:34pm

I give him two placed horses at double figures and not a word of thanks, yet he sings your praises for picking out half the field.
