    9th in the Kim Muir last year is very good form in the context of this race.
    Happy with that.

    To have Wonderful Charm, Virak, Unioniste and Pacha du Polder running for you at 5/1 is very very good.

    Is Caid du Berlais eligable? I didn't think he was but can see he has been running and winning in points since January including today? Out of all of the Nicholls runners he was one of the ones I would have liked most, 2nd in the Fred Winter, 3rd in the Martin Pipe, won the Paddy Power Gold Cup, 8th in the Pertemps last season

      Is he still with PN jono? Thought I’d heard he had moved? Only heard it from a mate so he may well have been wrong!

          It's blue enough on oddschecker to be eligible, I think it is.
          Any idea whos' been riding it ?

            MORNING ASSEMBLY unseats at fence one at Tinahely and looses his chance to book a last minute ticket to the Foxhunters.
            Nothing lost (NRNB) but that sounds like a complete shambles. If the inexperienced jock gets unseated in a point probably a fair chance that Cheltenham would have been too much for him. I don't remember the horse as a poor jumper.

            • No you guys are right - recently moved to Mrs Loxton. (just saw the replies after posting!) I was going on an interview by Nicholls at the end of January where he was mentioned in his hunter team

              • Honestly think the 5/1 on him winning this race is one of my favourite bets of the week. Could end up having 4 of the first 5 in the betting!

                    Mr Maxwell will be riding Unioniste which is a considerable disadvantage when he's up against Codd, O'Connor etc but can't knock the price.

                      Can’t argue with that FM! Don’t fancy him all that much to be honest, but 33’s surely too big so had a small ew interest.

                        He won't have the fav though

                          Agreed. He's such a good jumper that the jockey might not matter until after last.

                          He could be a horse who'll be a huge price on the exchanges and I'll probably have a few quid on just before the off.

                            Not sure. Think Wonderful Charm could well go off fav myself. But even if he hasn’t it will still be too big.

                              I think its a good bet. They really do fancy this fav. Nearly everyone I talk too mentions BA as the bet of the festival???

                                Just can’t see it myself doctor. He’s got a decent chance clearly, but I just don’t see any reason why he deserves to be a hot fav. Only decent race he’s run in was last time and he came up short. Didn’t look to get home to me either and the extra distance and the Cheltenham hill don’t look ideal for him.

                                More hype than substance for me.
