    Usual small but select entry here……

    I usually do a small Antepost Bet on this, but with Ballyandy as the main fancy at a best priced 11-4, I think I’ll hold off this year, for all I’m surprised he’s not favourite.

    I also like the look of Aye Right at 8’s, that looks a fair price.

    I’ll consider him, but no bet immediately.

    Quite a poor field here in my opinion. Unowhatimeanharry is 11 years old, but his class should be enough to win this. At least when he is anywhere near his form of Punchestown in the spring.

    Unowhatimeanharry 5/2

    Still Ballyandy for me.

    I think he could develop into a horse for The Stayers, and I think he could feel the benefit of the run under his belt. Won’t be betting him though.

    Good luck with Harry.

    I might be mad but I have had a small punt on The Worlds End. He has been very disappointing but maybe it is worth giving him one more go when he is fresh.

    At 7/2 I’ll take Unowhatimeanharry. He is best when fresh and hurdling is more his division.

    Every horse has their day! A positive ride from the front is never a bad thing in small fields and he jumped well when it mattered. An encouraging run from Two Taffs as well. I have always liked that horse.

    WD Cork, Sally Ann Grassick sounded quite keen on him this morning and you were right.

    Thanks everyone. I am really interested to see if he can back it up. I assume he will run in the Newbury race or maybe wait for the Long Walk at Ascot. It would be good if he could emerge as a competitor to Paisley Park, although I suspect his connections are not worried yet.

    Nie one Cork. A very convincing win by The Worlds End. Is gonna keep hurdling? Not the strongest division at the moment, he can run into some nice prices.
