If he has a clear round he'll be right there no doubt. At 5/1 that's too big an 'if' for me. Good luck with him though.
That Dorking Boy is wonderfully bred, for the NH game. The dam was a multiple winner in the sphere and a half-sister to Ballyandy and Megastar. Meanwhile, I bet old boy Dickie Johnson is fuming that he can’t ride in the rich €100,000 heat (restricted to Corinthian riders).
12 10 Kenilworth - Buffett worth a nibble @ 66/1, no pun intended. Good trainer that often has big priced winners
According to Mullins, Bellshill only lost the National because a "bright object" caught his eye at the last. Even if that jump at the last was caused by fatigue, this trip is 5f shorter.
Punchestown 4.55 BALLYWARD @ 7/1 Followed this one since hacking up in his bumper at Leopardstown by 16l.Stable also run the more fancied Next Destination and the selection also has 6l to make up on Kilbricken Storm on Albert Bartlett running,however he was well held up in rear that day and if ridden much closer to the pace he should get much closer this time.The 6yo has only had four starts under rules and win,lose or draw he looks a cracking chasing prospect for next year.
I like Technological e/w at 40/1, nice horse and think the track will suit him, should outrun those odds.
Smokey Joe Joe 14/1 ew in the first at Punchestown for me. A consistent type who's being running pretty well over hurdles recently and with 6 places on offer with skybet it's definitely worth a dabble.

€30k between Mullins and Elliott now and Willie looks to have a better hand in tomorrow's big pot (Stayers). Elliott must be considering unleashing Samcro in the Champion Hurdle on Friday.
Chucking couple of quid ew at Newsworthy at 66/1 too. 5 places on offer and is good enough if at it's best to grab a place. Rev FC with Demi Sang
Townend off the naughty step at Closutton with a 3 timer this evening. All credit to him. I wasn’t sure he’d even race tonight given that horror show yesterday.
