    Well done Oli. Congrats. Glad you won a sum off Limegrove. She's a talented young horse.

    Today's bumper is interesting. Grand Jesture won at the festival last season and may have been laid out for today and the Mullins and Henderson horses have got to be respected but Apache Jack has some very good form in the book and ran well at last years festival. I think this has been the plan for a while and he has performed well on softer ground several times. 14/1 looks overpriced to me and I'm keen each way.

    If anyone backed Quevega with william hill, they originally settled my bet with a rule 4 on the total return, i.e my stake as well!! After a live chat explaining how rule 4 works to them they have amended my settlement at the correct terms. make sure you check!! if you need help just post. rancid bookies.

    Oddy I think he will put in a improved performance but in the conditions and if it becomes a battle, I'd prefer Alderwood in a straight fight, so I took that logic to my approach.

    Alderwood is one of those chasers going the right way, which is more than most here.

    Really like Benefficient- lovely likeable animal but not in this ground.

    Arvika - tank - why did they balls about with the Arkle? Go 2.5m, jump,a little slower, smash the field to pieces.

    Crikey Arvika jumped well there.

    That horse is 10x better right handed I am convinced.

    They did exactly the same with me as well, i got straight on the live chat thing and told them, same as you, how a rule 4 actually works, i hate when bookies do that cause alot of people wont realise

    Upsie is one to keep a real eye on next season. If she learns to jump she will be dangerous!

    She has a proper engine. I need to confirm this but I believe Mullins bought her from the same connections as Quevega.
