    Absolutely no opinion (not like me!) on the bumper...completely insoluble to my mind and only further complicated by the ground drying up.

    Good luck anyone having a go.

    He's the danger Bob but I absolutely love Cue Card don't think he's ever lost a race he should have won, don't buy the view that he needs small fields and he goes with a huge chance. Got a hell of a lot closer to Sprinter Sacre last year than Sizing Europe did today which is food for thought. I appreciate two different races but his form is rock solid, Joe Tizz was confident he had Capt. Chris held at Ascot and Dickie Johnson was said to be unsure (ie not confident) as to whether he could have won had he stayed up. That is a KG 2nd. Fantastic form and I'll be screaming him home. FL will be in the three if he stands up.

    Regal encore is last - AP is a terrible jockey.

    From the preview night

    GGW: A few years back I went to a Cheltenham preview and one of the panel said your optimum strategy in this race is to pick one of the Willie Mullins horses (any one you like, regardless of jockey) and back it. I couldn&#8217;t believe it as Cousin Vinny duly scooted in with me holding a ticket for 16s. An outsider to watch is Yes Sir Brian who gave Aiden O&#8217;Brien&#8217;s charge Shield 7lbs and a hands and heels battering on both of their debuts. Shield no doubt improved a great deal when winning his second run but perhaps 40/1 Yes Sir Brian can do the same. Conclusion, watch Willie Mullins win the race.


    It's BOMBPROOF lads <rofl>

    Impressive.

    Glad I left that alone.

    I don't follow trends per se but surely an Irish trained runner was the first starting place.
