:encouragement: thanks mayo.

Where are people going to be looking first? I will be drawn to Mall Dini's mark just because he has been talked about so much
 
Diamond King received a rather positive report from Olly Murphy (asst to Elliott) in Cheltenham preview tonight in "as confident as last year"

Price has become blue across the board. Best price 10-1 now.

Did they mention what race for him? The JLT or Festival Plate handicap?

I believe that one is the Festival Plate over 2m 5f. Damn sponsorship deals make it hard to remember all the races. Same trip as the Coral Cup last year and he only carries a pound more....
 
Sad to see Cause of Causes not in any!
 
Cause of Causes - I feared the worst in recent days but that is a proper kick in the bollocks. The same prep as Silver Birch got before winning the national.

Pleased Velvet Maker is in a couple of them be interested on the day if he turns up. Run a ok race other week in Ireland.
 
Charbel entered in the county hurdle is a strange one. Not in Grand Annual!
