I will permit myself a small boom for that. Never in doubt. That crowns a marvellous season for Whittington.
Doubly Clever 50/1 e/w next- sharper track could see him in better light having run really well at Cheltenham. Hope he can do the same here with a bit of luck too.
Shout Chan. Arzal the only horse in the field who didn't run at Cheltenham. All points to Court Minstrel in the Aintree Hurdle
Djakadam at 3.25 in the 14:50 at Aintree Ruler of The Nile at 8.00 in the 15:35 at Southwell Billy Merriott at 4.50 in the 15:55 at Taunton Good luck! http://freebetcalc.com/odds-calculator/patent-calculator?prefill=3.25,8.00,4.50
That is very testing ground. Superb performance from Apples Jade, another quality filly from the Mullins machine.
The others were almost walking after the last Nass - I think she handled the ground far better than the others, but that makes her Triumph run all the more impressive. She'll be going chasing though I'd have thought, plenty of scope about her.
IG cant run on that ground and we all knew footpad was knobbled when Alex Hammond put him up! Very impressive nevertheless.
Little e/w poke on Houblon Des Obeaux .................. will love the ground and keeps the cheekpieces on, comes here fresh
Joking aside. Very impressive performance once again. An absolute different beast since the op, he's got the lot.
