Good luck - i considered the same bets but wanted all my stake to go On the Gullinbursti and two shorties trixie. Regretting it... Final Approach hasn't been mentioned - why's Willie bothered sending him over if he's not well handicapped? Small saver each way with Bet365 who pay five places - to go with my Raya Star each way.
Desert Cry for a place. A distance winner and 40/1 seems to be woth a punt with Maguire in the saddle
ahhh Zarkandar is all class isn't he - but he isn't going to win at Cheltenham hope AP and Darlan ok that was nasty
I am going to say it, more County than Champion. Still forming the queue at the window. Darlan was very taking until he went.
No pace would have been a nightmare for Zarkandar. He has done well to win that I think AP was going very well on Darlan
Well done to Zarkander backers,good ride by Ruby and nice run for such an inexperienced horse.How tough is AP!the man is as hard as nails
Good to see AP up on his feet! Zarkandar looked impressive enough, considering the pace. Not sure he's going to have the speed for Hurricane Fly though
Chuffed for all you boys on Zarkandar. Thats a very competitive handicap he won there. Happy enough with the run I git from Sir de Grugy and NASS belting run from GMOOH. Chuffed to see The Trainer doing his nuts again! Hope Darlan and AP are ok.
Horrible fall for AP and Darlan, thank goodness neither horse or jockey was seriously injured. Darlan looked the likely winner entering the home straight but I wouldn't back him in the Supreme Novices, very sketchy jumper. Zarkandar will improve for the run but I doubt he'll beat Hurricane Fly in the Champion.
GMOOH will be short at the festival after that "unlucky" run. Seems to be running big races without getting his head in front.
