    Mala Beach would have won half the track there.

    Well done RV, nice work fella LOL. Having a dabble on TERENZIUM in the first at Catterick. Has dropped some way to here and if anywhere near his best would surely go close.

    Monksland/Zaidpour/VLV rematch coming up shortly.

    I cant believe that in all of the big build up today, none of us have mentioned that WEAPONS AMNESTY is returning to the track, albeit over hurdles.


    Lets hope he gets round safely and stays fit and well.

    Good point TC, no mention for PANDORAMA either who I like a lot. Hope he comes back safely today but surely asking too much for him to win this again after so long on the sidelines!

    Emmm Stickwise

    I will be stunned if Flemenstar wins tomorrow if I was still on the exchanges he would be a huge lay. Really don't think he is going to be a superstar over 3m. I have SDC reversing form comfortably. Pandroama is my idea of value at 25/1

    SDC win - Pandorama E.W and the RFC

    He's had that many comeback attempts over the last 18 months, I wanted to wait until he actually ran to mention it <ok>

    Well done Monksland backers. None of them are winning the World Hurdle.

    How on earth has it taken this long to see Monksland over 3m! He shaped as if he'd stay all day long!

    <cracker> MONKSLAND BOOOOOOOOOOOOM <cracker>


    What a storming horse this is when he gets into top gear. Noel Meade said he would not run in the World Hurdle because there was no point taking on Big Bucks. Might have to change his opinion now!


    Another boost to the Simonsig form too- always fear the Neptune first 3 home!!

    Cheers guys.

    Nice price there Master as he was touching 7/2 near the off I think?


    In a way you saw glimpses of why I mentioned him as Champion Hurdle outsider because of the way he will fly off a strong pace. I was obviously extremely worried when he was being ridden because he's made a bit of an error at one or two hurdles prior to that (usually he is very slick) but we saw what an engine he has- he is a bit of a lazy horse and he has bucketloads of ability. They rate him very highly at the Meade yard and remember, they prefer better ground for him so he might yet improve.


    I should think he will go the World Hurdle route now.
