Great ride, weight doesn't matter in that race. Best Trainer / Best Jockey - 5/1 for Cheltenham, more of a banker than any other animal
Well done Hully. Ninas better than 99% of the jockeys riding over there I'd say! Nina v STD there, stop the fight LOL
Jesus this guy is boring. Channel 4 are always trying to do something different but how often can they get it wrong before it's blown up and they start again.
I had both Blaklion and Vyta Du Roc in the TTF. Was pretty confident with Blaklion but Vyta Du Roc was very workmanlike, trip almost caught him out today but a pleasing introduction and nice to see Blaklion with a clean round. Great shout on that Aachen, given a terrific ride as well. Let nothing else into the race at all.
Done my conkers on Drumlee Sunset first time out, hope to recoup today in the 3.25. Stiffer course and juicier ground today will show this ex Irish pointer in a better light. Obviously taking on a few 'could be anythings' but Hobbs spoke glowingly of his recruit early season and I think he'll take some beating today.
Lizzy Kelly taken to hospital so had to wait for an ambulance earlier on so has had a knock on effect to rest of card
Can't believe jaunty has been backed in from 12s took it ew but beginning to wish I took it on the nose
Just does not get any better for STD, does not even need to jump to come off his horse. Hope he's ok though.
He's going to put me in the poor house this fella! Surely Hobbsy will step him up to 2m4 the next time, he's not going to win over shorter. Winner done that well, bit of a form boost to Barters Hill?
Only question mark would be today's winner didn't look to get home against BH over a longer trip. Today's trip more to his liking imho. The pieces are starting to fall in place in the novice hurdle form now aren't they. Really, really looking forward to BELLSHILL on Sunday, another with form against Barters Hill!
