    15th December, the last time he ran over 2m4f. He's looked unbeatable over the distance, but if Geraghty has jumped ship to Grandouet it means one of two things; either 1) OW is, as you say, showing signs of decline, or 2) Grandouet is catching pigeons at home. You decide.

    Joe,
    I am not a big punter. Its fun for me to solve the riddle thats all. Its even greater fun to pass things on that are successful. It ceases to be fun when people deliberately stir things up. If this forum descends into the bbc style farce I shall be off.
    Obviously drever doesn't rate what I do. His perogative!
    He is right that I had a pop at weasel recently but when you post on a seperate thread that somethi g "will not lose" then you are there to be shot at. Imo.

    Line drawn under from me too and thanks for the positive comment.

    Spurs -1 at evens is bet of the night. They will hammer these at home. Spurs form looks bad when you say it like that but they got beat by my team (liverpool) away plus 4-1 at the san siro and qualified anyway. Their only bad game was losing at home to fullham but I expect them to put that behind them and win this easily. Ill be backing Bale first goalscorer on betfred and hope he bags a hattrick!

    Basel are a very good side, and do get overlooked abit by the bookies cause there Swiss. I remember them drawing with us at Old Trafford and then beating us in Basel last season.

    I agree with SBC that there overpriced, should probably be around 11/2 rather than 9s:biggrin:

    2:00 irish saint
    2:30 SC and the giant bolster ew for value at 10s
    3:00 the new one.

    Double SC and TNO.
    Singles on Irish and TNO.
    Treble on all 3.

    The rest of the day will depend on how these first 3 go!

    Like the look of Silver Roque at 11s ew in the 4.15.

    I think I'm going to have a bet on Irish Saint in the first race, having just gone through the form again. Looks worth a bet at 7/2 :biggrin:

    Interested to see how he goes today aftet a shocker at Chelt, I believe he's better than that and he could be difficult to beat today excusing his last run. Goodluck RV

    tbf take out Our Conor and he wasn't beaten all that far (around 7 lengths I think) and he was never travelling at all so can't be having that as his true form. I expect him to bounce back today but even on that form he will not be far away and Gerraghty obviously expecting a reversal with VDR who is 4th fav.

    With the triumph, your either of the opinion that Our Conor is an absolute machine, or the rest of them are aload of dross!

    My opinion is somewhere in the middle, I think Our Conor is a talent, but I'm not completely convinced that the opposition were up to much.

    That's why I've chose Irish Saint, who bypassed the festival. Not to mention he should be fresher than most of his rivals :biggrin:

    Like ruacana e/w @12/1 in the first , got within 9l of our conor 2 runs back and finished well in the Fred winter considering tried to force the pace, with his flat breeding believe Aintree will suit much more than Cheltenham

    I was wrong when I said Grandouet was the main rival to The New One in the Aintree Hurdle, Countrywide Flame's stamina is more assured over 2m4f.
