Tricky one fact to file.
Being backed for tomorrow right now.
But a good placed effort 2-4th and he'll shorten for ryanair i reckon, or at least stay same.

Aye, he needs to run well but not too well.

Got Jacob's Ladder as well going in the handicap. Who will probably ruin his mark.

Final demand a kick in the bollox,
Lossiemouth and anzadam, to a lesser extent but on the plus side was the majborough performance.
 
wouldn’t surprise me one bit to see Ino win tomorrow all the same, nobody is looking at him because Walsh is on Fact To File.

The cynic in me thinks it’s a ploy to get a nice juicy price, will see if his price gets hammered tomorrow. Cromwells form turned around in last couple of weeks.

he’s going under the radar isn’t he? Can’t believe I’m saying that about the regining GC winner

14/1 …. ?

No Mark Walsh though … you’d imagine Mark would have taken the ride if the horse was primed for a good run

50/1 WTAF
 
Been out doing a foreigner all day but was listening to all the commentary. How's everyone's slips looking for March after today? .

Hit and miss I'd say.

Haven't stuck a diary up this season so won't bore people with the after timing but the two I mentioned for the BANC, Jimmy Du Seuil, obviously disappointing again, and Western Fold @ 33/1 the other week, that one definitely enhanced his claims and possibly the one to take out of it. Is this the year Gordon finally wins the BANC? Maybe!

Got some nice looking E/W doubles and trebles live after today, whether they actually come off on the day is another thing!

Talk The Talk I covered WTAF as he was a hole in my book, that said, despite having him covered for some returns I'm not sure he covers my stakes on the race so still hoping he isn't good enough. Mentioned Ballyfad & King Rasko for the Turners so I'm hoping both go that way now!

Majborough run them ragged. Have him covered but it's not a race I am greatly excited about from a punting perspective anyway.

BDA definitely not one I have covered and because of her Cheltenham record I am reluctant to even bother trying. I think Lossiemouth will reverse the form at Cheltenham if she's allowed to go for the race. Anzadam bitterly disappointing though. Cashed out some bets on him now.

Hopefully tomorrow goes well, although because of having so many covered I'm currently not sure what results I actually want!
 
Anyone on the Nicky day 1 treble ? Ops lulamba and Con Hill . The stars seem to be aligning for a CH comeback….
 
Day 1 was looking mega with Sir Gino in there, but yeah, starting to feel a tad down for Tuesday since his injury

I do think OPS just wins now after seeing the tatts today

Con hill on the other hand….. will they? Won’t they? Not sure whether I want to see him run, my heart will be in my mouth, and if was anything to happen to him…. could ruin the day, if not the fez

Having watched that final demand run

Is anyone else concerned half there antepost slips will be in the bin by 4pm tomorrow lol
Well i was correct

Kopek not running and going to the arkle with 1 run was the start

Final demand, lossie and GDC all running badly

TTT won but a disaster otherwise
 
I knew nothing good could come of Fact to File running in the Irish Gold Cup :LOL:

I've given up trying to work out what the Mullins yard are up to when they have multiple entries in a race save for watching the market close to the off.

I was shocked if I'm honest to see late market support for Fact to File, but there you are.

5 winners apiece at the DRF for Mullins and Elliott. Gordon's fine season continues.
