    Dunno what Mick Channon's doing at Punches. Thought he'd be at Newcastle to watch El Che take the opener...

    Just got in a discovered Equitable was last. Very disappointing especially as, on form, he had the beating of the second. No idea what happened there.

    I agree london_man. Asking him to go again next year seems a bit much after all he's won them.

    With Djakadam not running (anyone know why) I have taken the 2/1 about Morning Assembly. He holds a lot of this field based on the RSA. If it becomes attritional I think he'll out battle the field.

    Bad jump at the end when looking beaten. Set up for CL the way it was run. Decent ride by McCoy.

    A last small each way play on Fine Theatre in the final race at 18/1. Purely because Noël Hayes said Nolan believes this is the best horse he's ever had. Nolan rarely wins bumpers though so whatever happens here is basically just to give the animal experience.

    Whoops. Going off what Weld just said, the fav will walk this.

    And it may actually be Fine Article that is Nolan's best horse. Running later this week.
