    I’ll be cheering on The New One. A class apart and i can see his stamina coming into play in the ground. Got 16’s last night and will just love to see him show he’s still a class act!

    I quite fancy Old Guard at a price too. Not badly treated and the jockey is on some roll!

    Have shifted some of my london prize bet now as a precaution and added elgin in

    London prize 20/1 e/w
    Flying tiger 16/1 e/w
    Elgin 16/1 e/w

    London prize just turning up has gave me a great position on the race, has been pretty lucky considering he done me a turn last saturday

    Happy with the result

    Absolutely gutted for london prize, that didnt look a good fall atall, put a dampner on the result

    Backed Elgin last time out. Probably should’ve stuck with him. Oh well.

    Well done winners.

    Looked a terrible injury to London Prize. Wish the horse well but I fear the worst.

    Well done Chivers and ham. Tried to go through to see who else picked the winner but the site is so desperately slow this weather that it would have taken me 10 minutes. Well done all Elgin backers.

    Nice winner thanks but the news on London Prize is a dampener. Lovely, versatile horse. I believe his owner was on holiday so that’s a real bummer for her.

    That spoiled the day for me. Poor London Prize.

    The New One plodded on but was simply outpaced at the finish.

    I lost a bit on Elgin last season, so was a bit galled to have lost faith in him. Well done to his backers.

    At least I got a run from The New One at 20/1. As always, getting good odds is the easy part of the equation. I had Gosden’s Utmost at 14/1, he went off 4/1 but never looked like collecting.

    A message to JP McManus:-

    If you want to win the race, run your best hope, rather than all the dross. They got what they deserved today ie SFA

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    It’ll be particularly tough for LP connections as the inclination after Wincanton was to miss this race. I think they decided only on Friday to go ahead.

    Tough loss but hes ran twice in 6 days before, he looked to be bang there 2 out, definitly wasnt a tired fall,

    A sad loss, he still had alot to give over hurdles!

    WELL DONE BOZ CHIVERS and HAM :good: :good:

    Top stuff guys. I have said it through gritted teeth a little though.
    Was on Misterton big at 14/1 and 12/1 and to make matters worse Mrsraymo backed the winner at 16/1 but only after she found out Flying Tiger was a non runner!!

    Hell of a shame about London Prize :cry: :cry:

    Oh and by the way did anyone think William H Bonney would have gone very close with a prep run??
    I was on five places for that though””

    Just want to give a mention to the new one who ran a mighty race giving weight on that going . also to bet365 for paying 4 places with only 13 runners

    Aye, Raymo. King said afterwards:

    “My other horse (William H Bonney, who finished fifth) ran a mighty race and I thought he probably travelled the better of the two. He’s probably got a bit tired in this ground on his first run back”
