    I'm sure someone somewhere will use the "Faugheen Hell" headline - perhaps The Sun tomorrow?

    Blimey, only been away for a day and miss all of this. Antepost pandemonium.

    A real shame for the festival not to have Faugheen there to defend his crown and set the standard for everyone to aim at.

    Could there be any other late entries to this now from people who suddenly fancy their chances?

    Annie Power very short price given her one prep run- think she'd be great for the race if it does indeed end up that way and what a talking race this could now become.

    A wide open race but I guess Mullins holds all the aces still. TNO and MTOY both have to prove they are forces, Annie has to prove she's the real deal. Fascinating.

    You all know how good I think Annie is but 4/1 would be fairer.

    Antepost giveth and antepost taketh. Always the way but Fuuuuuuccckkkkkkk, what a shame for the Festival.

    You TNO brigade just better hope and pray he's not beat by Willie's reserves now the big boys out. That would be very ****ing embarrassing <whistle>

    Can we get Binocular running with THAT MAN on board? If anyone can, then surely only Mr Henderson with his magic hands?

    The New One still hasn't a ****ing prayer not matter what way it's diced up! The whole yard at Closutton would need to be out for that scrubber to get involved <laugh> Sempre Medici at 33/1 in a place looks the each way punt if you were forced to have one.... But it's definitely a play on the day market now. With the bookies already winning and were a month away I can see them being pretty generous in the prices. At LEAST 3/1 the field on the day my guess.

    If Annie runs and Ruby picks her there's no way she'll be 3-1 on the day, can see her being 6/4 or even 5/4

    So Beefy, in one comment the TNO fans face embarrassment if the horse now does not win it this year and in another you say that TNO still has no chance whatsoever. Now I know you probably distraught right now that you have so many losing ante post doubles and trebles but for ****s sake make your mind up man. Is it embarrassing if THE NEW ONE loses or is it inevitable still that he will?

    Paddy Power keen to take on TNO, 12s and as low as 7s elsewhere. Is camping ground a bit of value at 25s?

    Bit scummy to be mocking people losing money to the bookmakers.

    Not at all no, obviously disappointed yeah, huge blow to the Festival missing the best horse in training and yeah a few bets up in smoke, c'est la vie. Happens every day punting. As you say it's just a horse race.

    But I wouldn't come on here gloating if one of your horses was ruled out and acting the prick like you are now <ok>

    What is it about TNO that's so decisive!Couldnt care less where he is trained but to me he just doesn't have the class to win this and will do well to place.He would have a good chance based on his run two years ago but lacks that change of gear which is needed and looks one paced based on his last few runs granted it was on heavy ground.
