Don’t fancy anything here so will risk a small bet on Father Edward. The horse has some ability – how much he has and when he’ll choose to use it is another matter but at around 200 on Betfair I’m happy to take a wee chance.
Good luck all
I find this very tricky. Might be temped to back Alvarado because lower weights have a very good record in the race. Not that many winners carried more than 11 stone. However there’s no obvious reason why he won’t be outpaced again and might again stay on too late.
Premier Bond also the type I back although I agree with the comments about his form being nothing special.

Are you feeling ok Joe? The Game Changer last week and Father Edward this time. Will be legendary if you pull it off though!
Funny that it’s actually a race for lower weighted horses, because I think of it as a race for top weights. I guess that’s because the top weight ones really stick in my mind. Especially Grey Abbey and Belmont King whose owner if my memory isn’t playing up again) purchased him as a horse to watch on the telly on Saturday afternoons (feel free to correct me if wrong!).
I have went for Vivaldi Collonges each way at 33-1, I just think this is the perfect meeting for him and I went for 5 places.
With 6 places and both at 40-1, Dancing Shadow based on his Musselburgh run, andcwith all the talk of Henri Parry, could the trainer sneak a win here for Al Co right under the radar?
I would be happy for one of them to place

:)
Indeed. I’ve an awful record in this race anyway, and on top of that don’t fancy anything.
Missed Approach 25/1 Premier Bond 14/1 were my two.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
Sorry guys I would of posted the winner for you
but selfishly I didn’t want to jinx it…..

Well done RacingOrchid and anyone else who had the winner.
Was Nico d B OK? We had visitors over so I had to stop watching after the race.Well done RacingOrchid and anyone else who had the winner.
Was Nico d B OK? We had visitors over so I had to stop watching after the race.Taken to hospital for assessment according to this report, don’t think they had any updates on him on TV. Hope he is ok.
(Posted the above before going out for the evening but it seems he has since left hospital, that’s great news.)
Congrats to those who had Vicente.
Quelle Farce, your horse Cogry ran a mighty race – hard luck.
Racing Orchid – well done.
Nathan – a silver medal for you for not jinxing!
Well done Racingorchid
Bugger thought Cogry was gonna hang on but hey ho second aint bad!!
Thanks Raymo. I wasn’t sure he was going to get up. Have had plenty of close seconds recently so know how it feels. Now for the bet 365 finale at Sandown !
Main bet was Henri PM – didn’t jump nearly well enough, second bet was Arpege D’Alene – hopefully he’s OK?
I threw 2 quid ew at Cogry at 40s for third bet because it was too big.
So it was a day for being chinned on the line having been on Zubayr at 18s earlier
Funny thing I watched the recording of the race blind after having been out all afternoon. As I started cheering Cogry louder and louder Mrs GD was struggling to contain her mirth having already seen the result on the net.
