He probably has had a setback.
“I didn’t bring Buveur D’Air, because I just didn’t think he needed to do it,” said Henderson
We know Santini needs it.
Henderson has always said Buveur D'air needed it too, called him a 'stuffy' type continuously, plenty of work required etc... Strange.
Quiet a bit of confidence from Gordon Elliot and Eddie O'Leary (for him) regarding Delta Work last night - "more worried about the 17 or 18 fences" than the other horses.....

Gordon-says Delta Work worked well yesterday but does not do anything too fancy at home. He says that Chris's dream is not good enough but Eddie says that Chris's dream was not running here and going to Aintree.
Eddie- respects Santini but says a sneaky one here is Mortal. He had a great run behind Delta work at Leopardstown but was ridden too forward the last day and would be ridden off the pace here. He seemed fairly sweet on him and reckoned a great each way bet at a big price.
Was the comment about the fences just tongue in cheek? :highly_amused:
I'm adding Mortal 1 pt e/w NRNB at 33/1 regardless![]()

How in the world is Santini the favourite for this. Might be the lay of the festival.
I also have a gut feeling that Santini might not run, just a hunch. OK Corral to be the yards runner here if so.
