I don't think it will affect the Irish lot that much, they've been running in heavy, but at best soft, the past 2-3 months anyway.

Agreed, all of my good ground ones I have are are english horses and normally wait for better ground, as you said most of the irish one will be fine in soft/heavy

Yeah I have a few 'good' ground merchants unfortunately, we couldn't have forseen the weather, that's the extra gamble of ante post!
 
One of my biggest worries is Mite Bite, I could see Hend pulling him out if it is soft and keeping him for Aintree, hope not I'm on at 9s and 4s
