    Hi Everyone

    Only like to back class horses, preferably spotting a potential one early and follow its career with a view to being proved right and maybe make a few £ on the way!

    Footpad

    Trained in Ireland by Willie Mullins

    Made an impressive chasing debut at Navan yesterday, beating a well regarded Gordon Elliott horse [Brelade]

    Footpad is already a grade 1 winner. One he beat which seams like yonks ago is called Campeador. Would have won his last 3(imo) except for falling twice at the last when looking to win. Maybe still under the radar a bit.

    I just changed the word" horses" to "chasers" in the heading. Is that better or would you prefer it as it was?

    Donkey <laugh>. It's going to be very interesting comparing times this week (taking account of going changes). He looked seriously impressive
