Yes - Tuesday is basically 2nd confirmation stage Trainers have until noon to forfeit entries or else they will be confirmed. Supplementary entries can also be made by noon for the Grade 1 and 2 races. Final declarations at the 48 hour stage as normal

Doesn’t look like appreciate it will take on honeysuckle according to Patrick! 1/2 for honeysuckle still!….. must be a license to print money that surely!!??
 
That's made it even more confusing to be honest...

'Doesn't look like appreciate it won't take on honeysuckle' :apathy:

Think you should've stuck with the first one.

Did they say why AI won't run? ​​​​​​​​​​​

The interview is on sporting life twitter. PM mentioned the Red Mills hurdle as a prep for AI.

Am I crazy for thinking Heaven Help Us is a decent EW bet at 66/1? (Bet365)

Only 2 places but last I read it's far from certain Appreciate It runs here, so you'd basically be hoping she can finish ahead of Zanahiyr, Saint Roi and Echoes In Rain. Maybe I just like the horse too much, but she seems way overpriced to me.
 
….I have posted DRF/Festival doubles in ‘win today’ thread.
 
2:45 leop

Cobblers way 28/1 e/w 7 places

Taking a swing at this one because of the back class

Finished 2nd in the Nathaniel lacy a couple of years ago to latest exhibition and ahead of longhouse poet and fury road

has clearly had his problems since but off 142 with a claimer on board think its more than worth taking the risk on him

Might finish last might have a stone in hand, il happily take 28s to find out

can see this being a commander of fleet esque cliff horse hahaha
 
Bayoffreedom 33/1 seems a bit rude for your lad on Saturday...

Funny you should say that. It's a good race on paper but a number of form lines could be blown apart on Saturday. He was not well after his run at Limerick so we are hopeful he will run better on Saturday; certainly he will be a lot closer to Eric Bloodaxe. I think we beat at least two of Willie's. I am very hopeful he will surprise a few people (a lot of people, it would seem)

I've backed today, for Saturday, or tomorrow will be awkward :highly_amused:
