Oh dear.

I got that one so wrong, i didnt think Sizing Europe would be winning.

Disappointing run from The Captain.

Cee Bee hit every fence

The Captain burst a blood vessel, apparently.

Two seconds, fuxake.

Ogee 10/1 E/W in the next

I fancy The Package

Not doing so well so far.

Bensalem in the next.

Ahead of the handicapper, needs to jump better, but should do.

Bookies made a killing already the tvvats

Placepot is still on for me.

1 - Get Me Out Of Here (place)
2 - Somersby (place)
3 - The Package
4 - Solwhit
5 - Sizing Australia
6 - Quevega

Sizing Europe

. Only on my Lucky 15 but a win's a win. A Starluck win in the 3.20 will set me up nicely for the x-country.

5 places with Hills in the next.

Really like The Package but wouldn't put anyone off Theatrical Moment or Nenuphar Collonges (done them as each-way savers).

Bensalem was going the best in that field then and his jumping was brilliant until he fell 2 out.

Thought Ogee had it coming up the hill

bensalem going best of all before falling...

had that and the package

Celestial Halo and Solwhit

What exactly do you think the jockey should have done during that race? Front ran? Ignored the orders from the trainer to hold the horse up and give him plenty of room to jump the hurdles? There has been nothing to say that Dunguib would respond to pressure when coming off the bridle - and he didn't find anything, not the jockey's fault, I would expect Walsh, McCoy etc to do exactly the same. I suppose you will be slagging off any jockey on a holdup ride that doesn't win. Watch how Russell rides Solwhit later, you'll get a hernia.

This is going well...

Same here. Thought Bensalem was going great when it fell. Didnt think the Package was getting anywhere near 2 out. 2nd year running ive lost that race on the nod.

Has anyone had a finish go their way yet?

Bookies are laughing i think

Who are you trying to kid lol....placepot knackered in the first and a swinger shot to bits in the Arkle...

Fingers crossed for a better result on my swinger in the Champion Hurdle (Binocular, Go Native, Khyber Kim and Celestial Halo)

Richard Johnson copped a ban for his ride on Menorah in the opener.

No - second in the opener and the third.

Laughing, mine said, he's booked a round the world trip, but is going to take mickey a little more and stay for this race.



I'm sticking with Zaynor in this race.

Jumbo Rio has gone down to 50/1. Maybe a possible E/W?
