    I'm trying to forget day three STH. That didn't happen as far as I'm concerned.

    There are two I'll be backing tomorrow. I've nicked Swordfish at 16/1 from that pod I listen to. Also think Regal Encore is worth a bet at 10/1. Handicaps aren't for me in general but I don't fancy anything in the graded races. Tiger Roll will win if he's not over the top but he could be so I'll swerve. Annie Power should win but Cockney Sparrow will be tougher opposition than most expect.

    I think he will win but I'm not overly bothered. What do you think?

    I think Kingman will win Bob yes although one always must be wary of the best horse Aidan has ever trained also. It looks a decent race and I hope it turns out that way.

    This is a billion times more competitive that the Imperial Cup where he was supposed to hose up.

    Wingtips is interesting in this race .......................

    I know mate but 98% of the UK population were on him and he couldn't lose <laugh>

    Honestly though, he has been a major disappointment this season and I can't see him being anywhere near good enough for this

    I think I told you this before but my info was that he really wasn't ready for Sandown, he hadn't sparkled in his work leading up to the race and suggestions that he would attempt to double up at Cheltenham were laughable.
    My info is that tomorrow he is spot on. If he flops tomorrow I shall never mention him again! :)

    I think the stable were under a right old cloud as well when he ran at Sandown? If he wins this it will be some training performance.
