is that bad luck or folly for running horses on unsuitable ground ?

Comfortably beaten on every visit to Chelt, Newbury, Aintree etc, not a top table performer for me, but that won't stop the 'capper hitting RTW with a few lb extra....

The Game Changer
He'll go for the Arkle all being well and the better the ground the better chance he'd have. Douvan will be very hard to beat, but if the ground dries out he'd have an each-way chance. He's had a wind operation since the last day and we're really looking forward to it. He was bleeding, so we moved him outside and he lives there now. He seems to be a different horse since we moved him outside. The ground is the key to him, if it came up softish on the first day we wouldn't go with him and we'd wait for Fairyhouse or Aintree.

Not sure what Venetia plans for Zamdy Man but he's a horse who's had plenty of problems but on his day he can be very good.
He pops up occasionally and whilst he's disappointed in his 2 runs this season they he was off the track for a long time and I'm not convinced the deep ground helped him, at 100s if he was to stand his ground for this he could run into a place but like so many entered in this they could end up elsewhere or nowhere at all...

Sizing John
and not sure what else looking at betfair
Skybet are 4/1 Sizing John without Douvan. That looks like a bet to nothing.
