    I've heard a rumour that At Fishers Cross is even money to win this race. Unbelievable price if you can get it.

    Add My Tent Or Yours for a big fat double that'll pay around 3.44

    Reve De Sivola e/w at 9/2 with Stan James - can't see him not placing so you have a free win bet to nothing. AFC may have won his novice races well enough but I can't be having him an EVS shot against Reve De Sivola.

    Wont be TNO v MTOY in Saturday's Fighting Fifth Wooly as TNO ain't in it. He's Bula Hurdle bound.

    I can't fathom Melodic Rendevous beating the Tent but Hendo's big guns first time out are steer clears are they not? Melodic Rendevous's form over Far West took a bad knock at the weekend though. Disappointing Grade One race IMO looking at the other entries in it. Bygones of Brid having it's usual day out <doh>

    With regards to the Long Walk I don't know whose in it but At Fishers Cross is a superb animal and will be incredibly hard to beat over staying races this season at least until Big Bucks shows up...

    The older horses would struggle to even keep up with AFC at level weights yet they have to give him 4lbs

    Bizarre that McCoy wont be riding at Fishers Cross but that tells you all of what he thinks of My Tent or Yours. I can see MTOY winning by a couple of lengths .. Melodic Rendezvous is good but MTOY has speed to burn baby!!

    At Fishers Cross will win this race...

    Backed MTOY @ 2/1 for this a few weeks ago knowing that TNO would not run and this would not be the strongest race! Also doubled MTOY and At Fishers Cross this Saturday :emoticon-0100-smile

    He&#8217;s opting to go up to Newcastle for one reason and one reason only &#8211; the money! The &#8216;Fighting Fifth&#8217; is worth more than double what the &#8216;Long Distance Hurdle&#8217; is. £100,000 compared to £40,000.

    In recent terms McCoy has done the exact same thing and gone &#8216;oooooooooop North&#8217; to ride Binocular in the same race.

    Already on the TENT and FISHERS win double, come on.
    Can't see either of them not winning, even looking at Henderson's current form.
