    It looks rock solid form regardless of who would have won. Some bookies might have missed a trick in leaving AK at 7/1 for the Limini hurdle.

    Looks a true stayer my eyes. Albert Bartlett looks a penalty kick to me. Gordon Elliot was convinced he was an AB horse after Navan.

    This bumper at Naas looks pretty hot, some lovely types on breeding and this Debuchet has been absolutely smashed into all day - from 11s early doors into no bigger than 5s now and 7/2 in places

    Well you don't see that very often. Last race at Chepstow, Jonjo has one on handicap debut off a mark of 109 after 3 poor runs in maidens and he goes and wins at 16/1 <laugh>

    Albert Bartlett a penalty kick.

    I've heard that many times now and seen a lot of good horses come unstuck.

    Having said that, DD does look smart and not too dissimilar from Weapons Amnesty from a few years ago.

    He just looks a dour stayer to me. I was a bit worried to see him off the pace today but he showed enough class to get the job done.

    The way he made all at Navan suggested to me he would be better over futher. He just ran the finish out of good horses.

    I just cant see him being pegged back going up the hill at Cheltenham over three miles. If it came up anyway quick I think he would get caught for pace

    There's nothing around to worry Death Duty in the Albert Bartlett and the books aren't stupid having him in at 9/4. In saying that quickish ground would be a slight concern to me, and I wouldn't be backing him at anything under 5/2 until closer to the day when we've an idea on underfoot conditions. Definitely a no bet race for me now having missed all the prices on the jolly.

    A good portion of my likes come from him after a horse I put up loses so it's definitely not paranoia! It's just cowardice mate, thats what it is, be different if you at least give your opinions pre race but he doesn't even do that anymore. I recall stick had another poster at the same nonsense with him and I think he's now banned. It's just a bit silly but then he is a WUM who only comes on here to start bickering typically. Cant recall him putting up too much on here for months can you?

    Fair enough , there is a pattern then you are being targeted , but in sticks case the guy was proper nuts --at least with Boris there is a method to his madness ! I think he finds the national hunt scene not stimulating enough .........he's a flat horse afficionado , but it's a while since he did put one up --in a serious mannerthat is .........
