I knew Tidal Bay would get the trip but the going and top weight put me off - he's the class horse in the race.
Really nice to see China Rock winning a big race. Follow The Plan showed his Aintree run was no fluke
Wigan winning....Bolton winning......my horse SECOND in the big race..........can this day get any worse!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 from 3 in Cycs so far with a 2nd for Somersby being the only disappointment. Shame I didn't back Colombian mind.
I've backed Darroun e/w in the big juvenile race at Punchy - I think he is a bit of value on this ground
Of course it can get worse......your big bet of the day could unseat at the first hurdle.....for ****s sake
concerned about balder success' jumping. He doesnt look like he likes being pressured in bigger fields. Didnt stop me backing him mind!
I think Hisabaat's early season form might be down to that he hadn't fully developed. I didn't back him today because I thought it was the ground but having seen that maybe he's just massively improved. I think that both he and Countrywide Flame have been somewhat underrated both are very good horses in their own rights.
Stewards Enquiry at Punchestown - I hope they chuck one of the first 3 out as Darroun was 4th (but I doubt it)
