But beaten twice at Cheltenham on soft by Western Ryder and Slate House. The English form is all a bit muddling and I worry about Kalashnikov having had a hard race in the Betfair. Western Ryder e/w might be a play but the more I look at it, the more solid Getabird looks.

Nothing muddling about the form of the Bailey horse is there?
 
So after all the nonsense, news to no one that Samcro goes Ballymore and Apples Jade goes Mares as they always were going to <whistle>

Hopefully the rain wises up a bit and the grounds not bottomless during the week. Not long now boys <cheers>

Really think Footpad is an amazing price in the Arkle at 11/8. One danger in Petit Mouchoir. Saint Calvados form doesn't stack up to that lofty mark. Brain Power has to turn himself inside out. The rag is there for a day out.
 
Unfortunately, I have been disconnected since Wednesday for reasons of force majeure and when I return I see the large number of casualties that have occurred.

For the first day I have No comment (25/1) for the Hunt Chase, but it has not had good results in heavy, in soft won in Plumpton. Finally I have Coo Star Sivola (15/1) who has not won in heavy but won in soft.

The big news for me is that Samcro (16/1) goes to Ballymore. For Wednesday I also have Croos Peak in the Bumper (25/1) that won in soft to heavy a Listed in Cheltenham and to a lesser extent Bonbon Au Miel (33/1) in RSA that won in Cork and Navan in heavy and Le Breuil (21/1) for the Coral Cup.

Geraghty on Rhinestone rather than the Gifford horse who he rode last time in the bumper is interesting.
