Thought they might have tried getting Rachael on, as she rode Sir Gerhard for Willie and also rode one of Ricci's last season in the race.

Seeing Rachael on Western Diego rather implies he's below him in the pecking order.

Favour and fortune is what's required to pick the winner out of this minefield.
Luckily, there is a horse running called Favour and Fortune who'll make it a nice double for Alan King on the day.

In all seriousness, connections are hopeful of a big run but have no idea how his form stacks up against the Irish - last bit taken from Mark Howard's Cheltenham update.
 
Fact To File as short at 4/1 now with PP!

13/2 available still.... with Sky, oddly.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if he placed
 
Has No Time To Wait got any chance in this? Davy on board & will have no problem with the ground however soft it gets. Easy to pick holes in a 40/1 shot, but got to be capable of outrunning those odds?
 
Chosen Witness out to 66’s. Ate up the Xmas ground at Limerick over 2,2.

If the rain comes he could be good value for a place.
