    Can't wait for it. I'll miss the first 2 races on Thursday due to Physio appointment (although I might have to cancel that ****er, don't want to be missing Douvan) then flying to England Friday morning so will watch Friday and Saturday with the family. I really hope Willie send the full battalion over, love to see Douvan, Vautour, Annie, UDS, et al strutting their stuff again. Highlight will be Thistlecrack though. If I were Tizzard I'd put him in the Aintree Hurdle, give Annie a proper race <ok> <laugh>

    Re that mares bumper, be interesting to see which one of Wazza's two Sheehan chooses (if they both run) - that La Bague Au Roi looked very impressive. Also like Longsdon's Snow Leopardess in that - maybe Stick can give us a clue to her chances?

    I hope so too. The vibes here are that he is taking the trainer championship very seriously and if they are in good knick then they run, so that's positive. I had initially booked the Cheltenham fest off but due to circumstances ended up working and missing it all <doh> I'm gaining my consolation this week though with Aintree <ok> so really looking forward to putting the feet up and watching.

    Thistlecrack and Annie would certainly ad some spice to the affair, I have to say as much as I like Annie Power, Thistlecrack looks as good as anything about at the moment, who knows how good he can be, she'd certainly ask a question of him though.

    Zidane's first El Classico as manager tonight. Could get messi.

    Messi first and last goal scorer are both 7-2 bets. Got to be worth a bet on each I think.

    Good headache to have isn't it. My one concern for the Nipper is that Sandown run was pretty hard work overall, a tough experience for both horse and jockey. She's clearly highly talented but something was possibly annoying her that day for her to do what she did. Hopefully she has recovered well and is 100% match fit.

    It is difficult to get winners at Aintree though - so often the Cheltenham form doesn't hold up. I've self-excluded from my betting account for 6 months so will need to pop into the local Ladbrookes where my folks live to place a bet. Bound to get best value prices <doh> <laugh>

    Certainly is. The flatter track also favours the speedier types there, if all the leading names turn up though you may see some results go to plan. I'd be happy to lose a few during the week then back the National winner at 66/1...that will do <laugh>

    Ladbrokes bound to be top price all runners throughout the week for sure <laugh>

    Totally agree, this will be a one sided affair with Barca winning. Can see a 3-0, 4-0 home win. Sure Suarez will score too.

    I expect and hope Barca to win tonight but very tricky from a betting perspective as these games are fiercely competitive.In saying that I like 7/2 0n Barca to win by two goals.Could well be a sending off in this one as well!!

    Can you bet on the specific player to be sent off? Ramos.

    Impressed with Madrid tonight,Zidane had them well set up.Not often you see Messi not getting a sniff.Had a feeling there would be a red card and inevitably it was Ramos.Barca can be got at If you get stuck Into them!
