A few quotes for the QE backers

Josies Orders, on whom Nina Carberry will be seeking a third win in the race, finished well when second in the Cross-County Chase at the Cheltenham Festival last month and, although he has to shoulder 12st 7lb, Bolger is optimistic.
The trainer said yesterday: “He has a big burden to carry but I think he’s capable of doing it. Stamina is his forte and he has plenty of cross-country experience. He appears to be in very good form.
“Quantitativeeasing was only touched off in the race a year ago. He ran a good race when fourth at Cheltenham last time and is in mighty order. We’re expecting a big run from him.
“Cantlow hasn’t won for a long time and is relatively new to cross-country races having run second over three miles over the course on his only previous attempt. We’re hoping he might be able to pick up a bit of prize-money.”

Ok cheers LR.
Cantlow was very well fancied for Chelt XC but lacked expeirence, he could go well here.
So does Nina take over on Quant or are they sticking with Walsh ?
 
Hate my bet now, lumpy e/w at a shade bigger than 2/1....

Nina now on Cantlow.
 
Unlucky Rockys.

The Bank of Ista keeps on paying out :encouragement:
 
Cheers Gents, I think Quant would've beaten the fav today, jumped great and dictated the pace of the race well, there 8 in a heap 2 out and he's won 3l and 8l.

Shaneshill confirming an ugly week for Mullins.

I'm The Game Changer 3 places in 6.40 at around 4/6
 
Paint The Clouds eye catching finish cannot be ignored tomorrow.

Yeah, surprisingly strong race for a small pot.
Key to this horse has always been ground so if the rain stays away he has a huge chance, if this years Punchestown has taught us anything it's that doing Chelt, Aintree and Punch is tough and given it took On The Fringe longer to get ready for this season I wonder whether he can cope with his 4th race in 10 weeks or so.

I'd love to know why Paint the Clouds was pulled from last weeks B365 especially after a plunge two days before the race, good ground and I think this is the one to be on, but there are a few credible challengers...
