    Victory took TNOs earnings to just under 200 grand for the season, at least he's paying his way in the yard

    Very emotional build up to the great one's return. Please let him come home safe and sound.

    Great to see the Black Aeroplane back on the track - looks a million dollars. Hope he gets round safe and sound and excites us once again

    OH MY GOD was that a huge performance or did SS under perform/unfit?

    Look how far they came clear of the other 2...

    By the look on Hendo's face he was fairly disappointed with that from SS.

    No complaints about the ride Barry gave Sprinter Sacre. I do hope he's somewhere near back to his best in the Champion Chase, likewise Sire De Grugy.

    McCoy killed any chance Sprinter had on Somersby.

    Those backing him into 4/6 today though, madness.

    Only one conclusion can be comfortably made - Dodging bullets is a bloody good horse.

    if he improves for the run and comes out injury/set back free, you'd have to expect he will improve past Dodging Bullets. I don't think it was a school but certainly was bleeding obvious that they would not participate in a battle. Why would they? No need. Today was just prep. 5/2 looks fair enough to my eye.

    Why didnt Dodging Bullets do that in the Arkle :( i wouldnt be in a rush to back him for the Champion Chase as i would expect Sprinter to come on a ton and still have SDG to appear shortly also.

    Sprinter Sacre at Evens was an alarm bell enough to me today. Same as Big Bucks last year. O'Sullivan getting destroyed too, bad day for odds-on backers looking to buy money!

    Fair play to Dodging Bullets too. We'll hear plenty about the second but don't forget the winner, DB looks a reformed animal this year.
