Aintree

Becher Chase

13,30 Give Me A Copper 12/1 e/w (four places)

Form after break 111UR41

 

NR.

 

Thinking of throwing a few quid at Politologue tomorrow. Can't really see why Altior is so short, there isn't that much between them is there?

 

Having a virtual celebration tonight. My virtual balance just went over £5,000, starting with £1,000 last November

 

That's virtually brilliant.

 

who knows is the answer isn’t it? Altior on his day is well above this field, but who knows how much of that he has left. The price looks generous enough but I’ve been on Politilogue since entry stage and happy to remain in that camp.

 

Henderson says Altior is spot on, so excuses I would say. I think he wins.

 

what's the boys and girls at the hendo yard saying about Mite Bite ? been backed and nearly
blue across the boards.
Unibet
delighted with first run, needed the run fitness wise, improvement after that and quietly confident
over a trip which will be ideal 16/1

 

Non runner

 

Bugger, I was going to have Greaneteen in the comp but couldn't go against Altior

 

Ffs, though with the way they finished today you cant blame them, it was a hell of a slog for them.

 

the horse has a good record on soft, they’ve said he wants a stamina test now. Henderson is losing the plot.

 

Hi all,

Aintree 3.15pm

Swift Crusador 28/1 each way 5 places. Horse has been working very well at home, seems well in himself and yard are expecting a good run. Slight caveat is whether he takes to the Aintree fences but at a decent price, with only 10 stone and with the yard in splendid form it is worth the punt...

 

Rouge Vif in the Tingle Creek

 

Strange isn't it. Henderson saying all week that all systems are go and Nico interviewed at Sandown yesterday saying he can't wait to ride him. No mention of ground worries whatsoever. Its a blantant disregard for anyone thats had an antepost bet on Altior for the race.

 

Afraid to say that the old chap has lost the plot and from rumours I’ve heard he’s losing quite a few owners and staff turnover is making it much harder for him.

I don’t know why he is wrapping Altior up, he just finds any excuse not to run him!!
