Jesus the money is coming for Black Hercules in spades. Personally, I just don't see it. He ran well but not brilliantly plenty of times last year and has been good but largely untested round Cork this year. The last race does look good in context of Douvan's run in the Supreme but sweet jesus it's a hell of a stretch to go from what he's done thus far to being 5/2 fav for the AB.
I don't lay on BF lads. I'll stick with them 3 just. If NMH comes in happy days, if the other 2 do that's OK and if none win c'est la vie I've already had plenty of luck this week bar Annie, I know you can't win them all! Shall be interesting viewing anyway now lol
What about Townend's ride in the Albert Bartlett, Arbre De Vie? A couple of straightforward victories for Mullins and before that finished 3rd to Coral Cup winner Aux Ptits Soins in France. Not bad form. Backed him e/w at 14s
Carningli has this sewn up, remember this when you are ogling the lovely Rebecca in the winners enclosure Thomas Brown second and Tea for Two third. Job done
Brilliant however I had him at 8/1 earlier, you win some and you lose some. First winner of the day though!
Unlucky Beefy. Not sure why Cooper felt like her needed to go up the inside though. Seems like a pretty daft decision by the jock who's usually excellent.
**** me my bookies only paying first 3 places. Twats. Well done on the winner lads - really attritional. That is testing ground
Well done Martello winners. Another crap race though. The mid and long distance novice hurdles have been a bit disappointing this year.
Not very cloudy here in North London. Hope that's not a omen, as I'm counting on Many Clouds in about 25 mins.
