I have backed Diego Du Charmil but haven't heard Nicholls give any indication he is going to run. In contrast he has been talking up Dolos. That surprises me.

No Luke Harvey. Shall we estimate how many people have switched off?
 
On a train with poor signal could some post some cliffs at the end please
 
DJ - Dave Jennings
PK - Paul Kealy
NL - Nick Luck

Missed Supreme, but Arkle.

DJ - Brain Power superb workhorse & wind-op

PK - What a load of rubbish, and you lot will never get those 2mins back. Footpad only beaten one horse, who was PM, and that first run since October.

SC Best horse on soft ground, he thinks, and not sure Footpad will be allowed a lead this time. FP wasn't a star at 4, or 5, and thinks Sceau Royal will have the race run to suit. Deffo in first 3.

Champion Hurdle

DJ - BD wins, but thinks that 100% Faugheen might beat him, can't see him coming back though. Plenty of e/w alternatives, and e/w w/o BD. Mick Jazz one of those @ 12/1 3 places w/o BD.

PK - BD Most likely winner, but had to be shaken up to beat John Constable last time. Better race this time, and he needs a bit of winding, but then does it easily. Has backed Wicklow Brave e/w w/o BD, and e/w. MTOY will run his normal race, but WB the value for him.

NL - Verdana Blue if good ground e/w w/o BD

Someone in audience mentions Yorkhill.

DJ - Yorkhill an enigma, and thinks that he most likely turns up here. Horrible horse to figure out, who could pop up and win, but one you have to just let it win.
 
Mares Hurdle

PK - Apples Jade as long as ground not really fast, which it can't be on Tues. La Bague Au Roi is one he likes, but WG wants to go stayers he thinks. Apples Jade proper mare, and she'll win.

DJ - Apples Jade, and only negative is the break. BDD very talented, but if she runs here, worried won't see her over fences again, and she's great over a fence.

Lets Dance going to run Stayers. Thinks BDD will be grade 1 chaser in time. Jers Girl forgotten horse of the race, but thinks she is coming back to herself, and will be overpriced. Could run well.
 
Supreme

Jennings put up Paloma Blue as an alternative to Getabird

Kealy - Kalashnikov, anti-Getabird. Clearly had viewed Getabird's point and thinks going left-handed is a real issue (quoted Elliott and Russell as thinking similar).
 
Ballymore

PK - Might lay Samcro... 4 of last 7 favourites been beaten here. Might be a superstar, part of me wants him to be, but he got shortened after winning a race that took no winning. Fell apart last time, and there were good horses that didn't run their races. 2secs slower than Farclas race, and slower at every section.

He's right fave, but doesn't get excited about short prices. Likes Black Op, traded 1.04 in running, and got beat by Santini, who Henderson thinks will be a Gold Cup horse.

NL - Likes Black Op, and wonders if OTBS is still sparking like he was.

PK - Worrying when you see a horse not handle coming downhill, and that was a small race. Not gonna be better in a big race.

DJ - Samcro, thinks what PK said enhances Samcro. If he can win a slow 2mile hurdle, when he wants further, shows how good he is. Thinks he is the best young horse in training. Spoke to guy who bought Vinndication for owners, and its best horse Kim Bailey has. He has some good ones this year, and this is going for Ballymore.
