    Borderline Chatho 33/1 NRNB. One run last year finished 3rd behind Bacardys then came out 4 weeks ago to give 9 pounds and a beating to a decent horse of Gordon Elliot’s after a 399 day absence. If he improves from that I think he’ll be bang there in what doesn’t look a classy renewal.

    Did anyone see that bumper winner on Tuesday in the last race at Taunton?

    If The Cap Fits.

    Was extremely impressive.

    Some potentially useful horses in there too but he destroyed them giving weight away.

    No mention of if he will be given an entry to the Cheltenham bumper but could be a lively each way shout if he was to run.

    25/1

    Backed him

    Not involved.

    Money back so no harm done.

    Same here, any other stable but Harry Fry and you would think he would still be in.

    Nice work, Rocky. Must have taken ages to put that together. Thanks.

    Looks like Daphne Du Clos & Ballyward are doubtful now. This race is going to cut up quite a bit.

    Ok thanks, thought it might’ve been from the trainer’s website or Twitter etc…the exchanges can be volatile as we saw with thistlecrack last week, best to take it with a pinch of salt until it’s confirmed…

    Quick thank you to you boys for your posts yesterday. I hadn’t had a bet in the race but hearing the news,i quickly weighed into Jessie Harringtons Someday at 16s before they took Daphne Du Clos out. Someday was Harringtons dark horse in the early season RP so i’ve taken a chance. Someday now as low as 8s. Many thanks :good:

    Jamie Codd seemed to be suggesting Kate Harrington would ride. Hopefully, that was a joke.

    She’s had the occasional good ride – not many on a racecourse though :whistle:

    Are you a scriptwriter for the Final Furlong team?
