Nice selection F_M. I like the top 3, though I don't think PP will beat VVM unless the track gets the better of the later. VVM thumped The Govaness a couple months back where PP only just held on. Just my opinion. :)
 
Thanks FM.

All backed 22 turned into 24K :encouragement:

we live in hope.

Oh, sorry F_M, I didn't realise this ws the final selection. I will back them first thing.:encouragement:
 
I found it harder than I thought and had plenty of others on the shortlist.
 
£1 ew on the Yankee - £22 stake pays £22k if this comes in.

Killer Crow didnt make the cut :mad:
 
I'm moving away from Holywell a little, the reported ground is still soft/good to soft and I'm not he can win on that ground, when he won 2 years ago it was genuinely good ground
 
Should we not just replace Killer Crow with McKinley. Eithers someone in bigger Giggy team mucked up or they could have taken McKinley out and got Killer Crow in ?
 
Can't believe he missed the cut. Aloomomo is the one i like now but the price is average.

Almost at Cheltenham but had to come on and apologise.

Its hardly your fault Faugheen.

I hope those lads with you arent too fresh - you need stamina for the Festival :very_drunk:
 
Yeehaa, that's a very good point. I think we have to assume Gigginstown know what they're doing and this could be a tip at a bigger price.
 
Ruby mentioned him in his column


I expect to have at least four rides on the opening day, and that could become five if Bryan Cooper chooses to ride Killer Crow in the novices’ handicap chase.

If that happens, I could get the leg up on McKinley. He’s a quirky character but is a Grade One winner over hurdles.

I schooled him yesterday morning, he jumped well and is in great form. He could be each-way value.
