    Join Together's form has been given a nice boost by Tea For Three in the first. I'm not sure he can beat Grands Crus though - I actually thought we might see him in the 4-miler

    If Last Instalment hadn't of got injured I would be very much with you George.

    This race has cut up badly with defections and injuries(Invictus as well.)

    Still totally gutted by Sir Des Champs' defection in this. I think Call The Police might run well, only beaten a length and half by Last Instalment last time. Needs to prove he stays though.

    Before I forget - very impressive ride from Paul Townend in the last on Felix Yonger to finish second - a horse that clearly appreciated the better ground.

    Graham Wylie... why did you waste so much time and money when you could have had Willie buying your horses for you.

    First Lieutenant's form so far this season isn't good enough to win this, but he just might beat Grands Crus - remains to be seen how the latter jumps round Cheltenham.

    For ****s sake. First Lieutenant wins that if he wasn't so bloody free in the first 2 miles! Raging. So close to the big pay day.

    Ive got 2 truisms:


    1) breathing ops always take a run or two to get over

    2) horses that finish close to big bucks in the world hurdle are overrated



    It wasn't Join Together, but we got the fav beat <ok>

    Great victory for Bobs Worth... great race to watch... good battle but i think Grand Crus just didnt have the battle in him today... Bobs Worth and First L just had more...

    Well done all you Bobs Worth backers...<applause>
