I will have an Antepost bet in this, but as well waiting till the Mullins horses sort themselves out, and I’ll also (try to) wait for Ayr and Fairyhouse

Not looking at any Irish challengers yet, but I’ll watch the market.

Of the home team, I thought Dreaming Blue was a nice price at 50’s, and same applies to Slipway, and especially Le Milos

Le Milos ran well in this last year, and comes here several pounds lower. 50’s look too big

O’Connell and Val Dancer have had great seasons, and also of interest, but to go with Le Milos on the early shortlist are Moroder, who was second in this off five pounds lower in 23, and is in good form, along with Transmission at 16’s. He’s better than his Cheltenham run, and those odds look fair

The Irish challengers will be a big complication

No bet yet then, but of the home team, this is the shortlist………

Le Milos
Moroder
Transmission

Tanganyika interests me, and of course the Mullins massive, but no bet yet.

[Venture to Cognac]

Thought Spanish Harlem was travelling well yesterday before being taken out, so even though he could go to Fairyhouse, he’s first bet here

Spanish Harlem 28’s EW

[Quelle Farce]

When Goshen comes up the hill to win this…there will be scenes!

[Venture to Cognac]

Added Transmission now, as price starting to go

Transmission 16’s

Also topped up Spanish Harlem at 5 day Decs to 50’s

[greenasgrass]

I’ll try Lombron at 25s as I quite like his chase form, though I suppose he might go for one of the handicaps at Punchestown instead.

[Silver Spoon]

QF, I agree about Goshen, but I’ve actually went and bet him. 66-1 ew, as I think that he can run better than his current odds. My other selection is The Doyen Chief at 20-1

[Mike007]

High Class Hero 6-1 ew 4 places

[Venture to Cognac]

Bump

[Wilts]

Minella Cocooner 20/1 win only

Shorter trip (compared to GN) should suit.
Just hope MC runs.

[Mike007]

My ew 2…

High Class Hero 6-1 4 places
Minella Cocooner 10-1 5 places

[GM23]

How in the hell does Jonjo Jnr end up on Dancing City.

That’s my antepost hopes gone for this race.

Was on Dancing City and Captain Cody

[GM23]

High Class Hero has got to be a plot horse. Hasn’t looked up to much this season yet was still somehow clear fav for this.
Turned over at 2/13 odds last time. The handbrake was well and truly applied.

[Venture to Cognac]

Minella Cocooner will be third go in this for me, but I haven’t bet yet. Was my long ranger for Aintree, and thought he ran really well.

Minella Cocooner
Spanish Harlem 50’s EW
Transmission 16’s

Heavily weighted towards Mullins runners with only 4 of the 11 ‘in the weights’ from other stables. However, Victtorino 16/1 e/w 1/5 5 places looks to go under the radar a bit despite having ground and course to suit. Distance is an unknowwn but he was picking up ground at the finish over 3m 2f at Newbury so not unreasonable that he can see out this trip well enough.

[Tizaaards Cider]

Very sweet on Resplendent Grey for this.

That Ultima run was excellent given where he’s come from and he’s got improvement for cheekpieces for me.

Olly Murphy has been absolutely red hot all season and this is going to be my last serious bet for a while during the bore fest of the flat.
