    Lots of promise from the ex-French Mail the Beaver. I was thinking Ryanair for him, but don't know if he holds entries at Chelts

    Edit: don't speak French - that's MY translation :)

    Big 10 minutes for Graham Wylie coming up and I think both ***o and Boston Bob will do the business - both backed accordingly <ok>

    I think The Giant Bolster showed his Gold Cup form today and clearly likes a strong gallop. The French horse ran a cracker to make it a true test. Silviniaco Conti must be a contender now for the Gold Cup. Jumps well and travels well and obviously tough to go away in that ground.

    I'd rather back The Giant Bolster each way in the Cheltenham Gold Cup than back Silviniaco Conti to win.

    Just not impressed with the whole performance Stick. Can see Overturn and Simonsig being too good.
