If Boston Bob runs in the Albert Bartlett it'll be a travesty. It's the Carling Cup of the juvenile hurdles. Willie, if you're reading this, do the right thing. Run him in the Neptune then go and win the RSA next year.
Sea of Thunder will be a massive player here, scoop up the remaining 16s before it all disappears lads His tumble at the 2nd last at Cheltenham proved he loves the place and i was extremely surprised that they dropped him back in trip LTO and also the ground was heavy and he loves good ground!! Of course he may have Boston Bob who will win wherever he goes but this lad will storm up the hill and make them all go
IPSOS DU BERLAIS will be interesting to see which one Davy Russell will ride. Sea Of Thunder 10s with PP GDC well supported
mount benbulben looked like a galloper who'd suit this longer distance. haven't looked at prices and don't know if this is the target but i'd be interested for a few quid.
Quelesprit, I agree about Mount Benbulben will like the 3 miles, but the way Boston Bob beat him, quel esprit does he have?Or more to the point, quel espoir?
touche tam. boston bob will run in the neptune. I know it's daft but there's no way Willie runs his best juvenile in the Albert Bartlett when all he has to beat in the Neptune is Fingal Bay.
Maybe, Quelesprit, but with likely dry ground at Cheltenham, he may want to step him up to three miles- and what a stayer he looks!

I think Fingal Bay was always Neptune bound but I'd like to see Boston Bob follow - I have a fairly lumpy voucher on Rocky Creek...
