        Just reading through Gault stats and was somewhat surprised to see that if you include Any Currency (and not Josies Orders), Enda Bolger has not won this for 7 years !! Was Garde Champetre really that long ago ? seems like yesterday

          "Only Any Currency of all the March winners had run in more than 6 cross country races" is quite a surprising stat too! It almost seems contradictory as the same horses do tend to keep coming back?

            Astonishing given that GC won this twice

                  Actually confirmed? You're kidding?!

                  As a national prep?

                    Can't see it
                    Think Elliott was trying to get a handicap mark by entering him because the previous CC race was a handicap
                    Much the same as jj o Neil was doing with more of that
                    Seems to have worked with more of that,nice weight in national

                      I heard it from Gordon Elliott's mouth when he was interviewed after the national weights so as near confirmed as you can get.

                        This race then onto the national was what he said - it was only recorded on Thursday

                          In the cold light of day, you can see why?

                          If the national is the target, a nice run around over the banks won't take much out of him?

                          Can't imagine winning this race is anywhere near a priority though. I almost feel like I HAVE to back CoC though

                            Although I can't see him winning - I know I will find a reason to back him for this too. I've started chipping away at the 40/1 for the national.

                              Glad I'm not the only one. I'd be sick if he won the XC without me being on. If anyone gives me a free bet I might waste it on that... I'm sure I'll pick a few up by day two.
