    Ham, Fleur au Fusil for me also. I’ll take the 20/1 just now, but as I’m going on the wed, I certainly won’t be complaining if I can get bigger than that on course.

    FLEUR is interesting for sure. Two runs they have tried to keep her quiet in rear but she has basically pulled her way into the lead and both times had plenty to give at the end of the race.

    Can she do that again in this race? I’d have concerns but the better field could be the antidote to that.
    I can’t back any more, not yet anyway. Good luck.

    I honestly dont know how she isnt outright fav, id say patrick will be on JDV and jodie on you oughta know, im hoping paul takes fleur, i really think she wins, will be suited by the typical gallop this goes at. Saves alot for the track it appears

    20/1 nrnb still which i find wild, i wouldnt be surprised one bit if patrick picked her (i dont actually think he will) but wouldnt be surprised nontheless

    Even better FAF is the 2nd string with jody on board, should get a bigger price than 20s now given hes 9 declared and has some fancy names on board others, will go over most non racing fans heads that jody gets 2nd pick in the bumpers

    Six year old You Oughta Know to plough through the muck better than the younger horses, to add to my C’est Ta Chance bet (now available at longer odds than my antepost bet- it’s my luck, indeed).

    Well done Chivers, Patrick picked the right one and gave it a good ride to get the ton up for daddy.

    100 up for Willie and having your son ride it surely doesn’t get any better than that – I can’t see his record (whatever it ends up at being) ever being beaten.

    Thanks. I think I covered half the field with free bets. Disappointed with Sixmilebridge but I’m glad Patrick chose Jasmin, I felt he was going to become the winning most jockey of this race. That has been overshadowed by his Da’ getting 100 festival winners. Congrats to Willie, we are in the mortal company of legends with him and AOB.

    Mullins four of the first seven, Elliott the other three.

    Great news for the sport I am sure you’d agree.

    All different owners, they are the ones this sport needs to keep on side. British racing is obviously struggling at this level, I don’t know what the solution is but this guy is the absolute creme, why wouldn’t you send your horses to him?

    Willie Mullins is a genius , I love the stat that his 100th winner at home jumps never jumped a thing .
    I cannot see the domination turning back ever , Irish trainers have reached critical mass , success is bringing more success . Trainers too gpod , horses way too good .
    I think at some point they may need to swap in a restricted race or two instead of some lesser handicaps to give local trainers a boost . Done over the world to help weaker racing jurisdictions , Japan restricted most races back in day .
