Yep I think he’s quite interesting . Forgive the pedantry but it’s tomorrow he is running. I think he’ll run a big race in the Savills ...should he win and overturn the current fav it would be tricky to predict what price he’d be....Sky are offering 125 savills gc double.

Yep looking through the Savill's Janidil looks like the one most likely to turn over APT - I think the Durkan form is going to work out really well. Mullins is in form. With a field of 8 Franco de Port might run into a place at a big price.

Yep that was like benn versus Eubank .... the street fighter versus the maverick...although probably more appropriate to say holyfield versus Tyson

My man Hollyfield was a badder man then tyson! And native river was a badder man then might bite that day
 
….Hills win today & GC;

APT 10/3 (10/3 Sky)
Galvin 80-1 (40-1 Sky)
Janidil 100-1 (125-1 Sky)
Delta 100-1
Kemboy 200-1
Franco 500-1
 
Hard not to take a nibble on the 125/1 for janidil, was great in the Durkan and hopefully challenges a plus tard today
 
Galvin - what a star!!!!

Win or lose in March I love him to bits - what a warrior.

Galvin has to be one of my favourite horses, that extra 2 furlongs in the gold Cup is going to play to his strengths as well.

A Plus Tard at 10s and Galvin at 33s in the book, what an exciting Friday afternoon that will be if they both get there

Thought Galvin was too high a price for this one (as per another thread) - no iffy start here. APT still a contender for the GC of course.
This race also re-establishes the quality of the Down Royal race.
 
….Galvin a best price 8-1 for this, this mornings 80-1 for him to win today & GC looks decent now.

What a horse.

Well I have Galvin at decent odds and Minella at 10s, Will have to get A Plus Tard onside, at this point I can’t see any other winner. Anyone have any view on any other contender?
 
He's some horse. Probably my favourite horse in training right now. It's easy to see him powering up the hill in March as I think he has all the attributes needed for a GC

Riding plans should be:

Galvin - Davy
APT - Rachael
Minella - Jack.

The 10/1 on Minella Indo looks too big to me.
