This is why bookmakers love antepost punters, it's a mugs game. Even if he does line up, which looks unlikely, you wouldnt touch him with a scare this close to the festival:biggrin:
 
Mrs Hobbs has just said live on RUK that he has pulled a hamstring and, in an ideal world, he needs 10-14 days to get back to normal. It's going to cut it very close for Cheltenham.
 
I was gutted to hear of Fingal Bay's injury scare. Looking very unlikely he will be lining up though...

I thought the Neptune was a two horse race with him and Boston Bob. Looks a cakewalk for the Willie Mullins horse now unless Simonsig is unleashed but Im getting the feeling they will run him in the Supreme
 
This race is still a bit of a potential minefield. Both BB and Simonsig might not even turn up. It might go from being one of the races of the festival to a damp squib. Then again I'm on Monksland at 16/1 so that would ease my disappointment. As for ante post, swings and roundabouts. I'll always have a 66/1 Newmill as a happy memory.
