1-50 aintree tomorrow
should be a lot shorter, maybe 6/4
Really like the look of Imperial Alcazar in the first
O'Brien is in cracking form at the moment. Had 3 winners at Chelt today
Came 2nd in a good bumper at Ascot. Around a length back from Eden du Houx. Glancing Queen behind in 3rd. Enrilo also 4th who Nichols likes a lot.
3rd in next run but 2nd that day (Nobby) is a decent bumper horse himself and had Chelt bumper entry
Stayed on in all his bumper runs. Probably just lacked a bit of pace. 2m4 should really suit over hurdles
Paddy Brennan loves him too...
He showed a lot of promise in his three bumpers and he is a horse that I think an awful lot of. I love him. He is the horse that I am looking most forward to riding this season, as I think he has it all. The 2m4f trip with cut in the ground is just what he wants at the moment and, although this looks a very competitive maiden hurdle, I expect a big run.
Under 4L 2nd behind Beakstown (140) in January
3rd behind Lisnagar Oscar (141)
PU in albert bartlett
Think he's fairly decent
And going for Frodon to defy the weight. Though the fact a fair few of Nicholls horses have not quite finished off their races (Getaway Trump, Southfield Stone) would be a worry. He's used to running with that weight on his back and his Cheltenham handicap exploits over the last couple of years has showed him defy top weight.

Also fancy Stoney Mountain. Won on the card last year over same distance. Think he's certainly better than 134.

Yes, he's not won as many recently but runs well here, and this is weaker race than some of his recent runs, in terms of potential improvers anyway. Burtons well would be a worry and i might have a point on him.
6/4 was probably a bit short really, but i thought after a good recent run, off bottom weight at anitree that 7/2 was attractive.
Going with Kalashnikov myself, just usually prefer the improving types and he has to go close with the weight advantage if he's any good at all.
Never looked properly at first race yesterday, looks like value gone from fergal's
But did back Stoney Mountain at 7/2, and doubled with Kalashnikov also.
Good luck, apart from with Frodon obviously.
