More concerned by the pre race for Potter than the actual race itself
 
FJs, give me some reassurance… Mighty Potter just wins doesn’t he?

Hes a big winner for me, so the way this week is going - no
 
Will win enough on Mighty Potter but the more I think about this race I think Appreciate It is the way to go.
 
I’m on various doubles and trebles with Mighty Potter, but I think Appreciate It is a big threat, thought he ran well against the Arkle winner at Dublin, and have backed him as cover at bigger prices. Going to back AI again as I’m very wary. Price may get shorter if Banbridge comes out. Be gutted if MP loses mind.

Is there talk of Banbridge not running?

I'd be very surprised, fresh ground tomorrow, still plenty waiting to back him on the exchange. Don't see him winning myself but the drift makes him backable as cover for MP positions.
 
Potter way too short now

Starting to have flash back of GDC and Envoi Allen, bankers for the punters. Both fell, and its not as-if Mighty Potter is the slickest of jumpers, he's a horse that appears to lose a bit of concentration

As a result, he's starting to become a lay bet for me or at least, a lay bet in-play as they approach the last 2-3 fences.
Apologies to anyone who's waiting for a big return on Mighty Potter, or have him to kick off today's accas. He is the horse in the race... but at that price now... I want to expose other betting options

Just watched Stage Star's last run again. I really like him.... Potter would be a much bigger winner for me but I might have a tenner on SS. MP should win but I, too, have a niggling doubt about his jumping.
 
I cans see Stage Star running a career best and still being a 10l third being honest about it.
 
MP looking fine in the pre-parade and parade ring so far
