…..been overcast most of the day, no deluge so far today but we’ve had our share of showers, a few quite heavy this afternoon.

Was hoping Cobden might be on Captain Cody but got to be a good chance he's on one of JPs hasn't there.

Spillane’s Tower probably the only other option for him, if he goes. Wouldn’t mind that at all

40's is an insane price imo.

XCC is becoming a top prep race and he has a very lenient looking weight.

Yeah, I went in on him again once Hills went 40's.

Agree about the XC, and whilst it's not had a winner for a few years now they usually run well in it, and for me Final Orders is a prime candidate for a top 4 or 5 finish even if he doesn't win it.

….not sure of his intended runners but Cromwell 14-1 to train the winner with Hills.

….not sure if some have been scratched from IGN, seems a few missing from when I last looked.

Edit; looks like they have.

“The plan is for Now Is The Hour and Final Orders both to go to Aintree, along with Perceval Legallois,” Cromwell said in his William Hill blog.

"We have a few entries across both the Irish and Aintree Grand Nationals, with some horses in both. I’d say our likely team for the Irish National now will be Stumptown, Yeah Man and The Lovely Man, if he gets in.

"He’s just on the border, but if he gets in then he’ll take his chance."

Final Orders is a 33/1 shot with Paddy Power and Sky Bet, with Now Is The Hour 25/1 and Perceval Legallois 33s.

Still a key question. It looks like the shorter price McManus horses have other jockeys set so hope springs eternal.

Yea, Townend usually quite loyal isn't he so I don't see it happening, but if he were to pick Grangeclare instead of Iammaximus then they'd be a very nice looking JP option suddenly.

He'll definitely not jump ship. Casey reckons IAM is Willie's best chance as well.
