    Big style Oddy!...off to N.I. with the boys for the JNCC and then the pub for the BC.

    Good weather forecast as well!

    Nice one Dexter - what will your euros be on in the big one? Really fancy The Nightingale but only if it looks like a butchers dog.

    Oops - is Down Royal in the North? Actually, course it bleeding is with a name like that. Sorry for any offence caused (you can probably bet in Euros as well though can't you?)

    Congrats on the win Beefy but do you not think that it might be a case of neither is good enough, rather than they both are?

    I was personally hoping that one or the other would win impressively. Oscars Well is obviously entitled to improve for the run but he will surely need to significantly to take a hand in the Champion. They might well be the second and third best in Ireland but they still have a mountain to climb to shake a stick at the Hurricane.

    My impression was that it was an excellent race viewing wise, but rather underwhelming in terms of genuine long-term champion hurdle prospects. The fact that there were 3 in a line at the last can never be a good sign. If i was one of the English trainers (ie Henderson with Spirit Son and Nicholls with Zarkandar) i'd have been pleased with what i saw.

    <laugh> Oddy...you can bet in both if memory serves me correct.

    I do like the Nightingale as well and was there last year when,as you mentioned,he hosed up.Very open contest.Gonna wait and see what the ground ends up like.
    As i said the forecast is good.

    I like Linnel in the H'cap Chase...good ew prospect.

    Nice win from Four Commanders...That takes care of some of the expenses!

    Good call on Aland Island Tam.That one looks better than the bare form may suggest.
