    “Ff91, I’d be the the first to admit that my radar intentionally scans over Irish racing unless it’s a big meeting. The day to day stuff I can’t bare. Usually because of that doughnut doing the commentary who really needs packing off to the care home now.”

    Just saw this…he’s only 42….plenty of time for explaining where the horses are in relation to their point of departure and entering the final 3 1/2 miles of the Irish National and such yet…

    Gentleman’s jumping went to pieces after a bad mistake (which the doughnut failed to pick up) today; he seems a better horse in the spring, so all is not lost yet, but it is starting to look as though his defeat of Edwardstone was just one of those things.

    I missed the start of the race so missed that
    I switched on just as the Mullins horse made a blunder and thought it strange GDM went backwards whilst CPS plugged on again

    Editeur Du Gite has run some of his best races at Cheltenham, winning twice. 33s for the Queen Mother Champion Chase looks very good value.

    Not yet confirmed as its target – I should know, I took 33/1 after Kempton and have been fingers crossed it runs ever since.

    There’s just a chance Nube Negra ran his race.

    Editeur Du Gite fir me too. Bet him for this last year, so kicking myself a bit that I didn’t bet him at the bigger prices. Hard to see him winning, but I really do think he can outrun his odds

    Still happy with my bet on Edwardstone. I am hopeful he will turn the form around in March. He will sit closer to Editor.

    Ridiculous how the bookmakers could still have Energumene the 7/4 favourite after he has been beaten fair and square by two horses. A classic case of a horse priced up on trainer reputation.

    Interesting to see if Edwardstone runs in the game spirit next

    Editeur Du Gite 6-1. Looks an each way player after that win. Back on the old course he could do even better.

    Blue Lord may well come here now if he wins as expected next week.

    Cas the Mullins factor means the bookies will never go to big , hear Chapman saying Shiskin should be supplemented for this … I’ve some slips that would appreciate this

    Got 33/1 the Editeur for this, 16/1 Edwardstone – backed the latter today and not a bean on the Editeur.

    If anything bar these duo wins this now, Chezza’s looking for a bridge – and jumping off it!

    Energumene isn’t 7-4 with Betfair, Edwardstone is. One could argue that Edwardstone 7-4 and EDG 5-1 don’t look quite right ;o)

    Nathan- Alan King has just been interviewed on RTV and says that Edwardstone goes straight to the March meeting. Expects him to come on for today’s run.
