    Back already…. the more I look at the tatts the more I want to leave the race, and divert my hard earned cash onto OPS ☺️

    I’ve been on King Rasko for 1-2 weeks now for today, so obviously pleased to see him declared and with Paul on him But would have thought he’s be shorter in the betting today. Looked at the race again, and starting to think something else at a much bigger price could win this race today...

    Think Found A Fifty is too big here, may back with Maj Love soft ground, the softer the better and will be one of those willing to leave their season at the course - whilst others like Marine could be saved for the fez 12/1

    Sold out tomorrow aswell. I can’t see hurdles running tomorrow, they’ll try and protect it for Sunday and move some of the grade 1’s hurdles from sat to sun But…. surely they won have a Saturday card with just 3 chases? And I can’t see them moving Sundays chases to Saturday. Think it’s more...

    I’ve gone off El Cairos, he would fit the profile of a Ballymore horse - travels well, turn of foot, needs a bit more time over hurdles. This isn’t the most ideal prep for El Cairos El Cairos is one of those horses that’s looking at any excuse to throw away a race So although I have him...

    Re: Mighty Park, I just can’t get a handle on him? Need to see him again against stronger opposition This does feel like a Con Hill / Shishkin year to me. Not been massively impressed by the Irish and don’t think much will come out of the DRF this weekend OPS to win?

    My gut feel right now.. is that Willie will one decent horse and that will go to the Turners Both Henderson and Elliott appear to have good horses in Old Park Star and El Carios in th supreme. I don’t think Willie has a top class 2 mile novice, but i do think he has a decent on with King...

    Rasko into 3/1 across the board Rev out to 8/1 Suggests Paul has picked us ride and/or The Rev isn’t running I think he’s more of a turners horse but with the ground likely to be soft to testing this weekend, I like his chances Let’s see

    Think most are hoping I watched that race back, not sure if Patrick could control the horse after he bolted but did notice they were hugging the rail where the ground had been heavily beaten up Townend, Walsh and Jack where riding wider on fresher ground I’m still struggling to see Anzadam...
