    Went with Lord Du Mesnil in the end, and took the 9’s.

    Dingo Dollar at a huge 33’s will be bet in running if in the mix, obviously at slightly less than the 33’s.

    Commodore is definitely getting bet. That 20’s is too big, and he’ll be definite EW Bet

    Still reckon Notachance will run a big race too

    Alice Stevens is a top-class Point-to-Point jockey, Sandy Thomson has had some amazing bursts of form lately, and her 7lb claim over 3m5f in the Heavy and his ingenuity make an interesting combination at gigantic odds.

    I also think Volcano is in with a shout, and I also reckon Wouldubewell has a real chance here.

    So don't run, just like the others always do

    Plenty of these I like, so I’ll stay sentimental and convince myself it’s a good idea!

    Lord Du Mesnil and Commodore have been weighed down by my stakes plenty of times over the years and have left me with egg on my face on more than one occasion.

    That said the former looked more like his old self last time out (I thought the same after the Rowland Meyrick last year) and this is his prototype race and conditions.

    The latter probably needs to drop a few more pounds to be competitive, however I can’t leave him alone at the prices. I’m convinced he’ll stay (safely ignore the National run)

    Just a note on Dingo Dollar, he was taken out of last week’s Veteran Chase because the going was too soft.

    Probably hack up now!

    Decided just to be him Joe, just too big a price at around 40’s.

    Main reason I was leaving him was that I didn’t want three in the race, but it’s a quiet Saturday for me, so just went with him.

    Be kicking myself if he did it.

    No fortescue a disappointment and this Mullins thing looks a potential throw in however on form I’ve got to go iwilldoit , he should love this and if primed should go close , no surprise at bigger im with Bobby with Dingo , he has a ton of weight but the farther the better and he may plod into a place

    Nestor Park for me, good luck all. How many finishers will there be?

    Wd HDLG, can’t believe the jockey had to actively pull him up after the finish line, if I was a horse at the end of that I think I’d be at a standstill within 2 strides after the pressure was off.

    He,s a nice horse , hopefully they can keep him fit for the GN and go for the 100k bonus , doubt he”d get his ground though , great training by performance by Thomas

    Nice work HDLG. Definitely one to consider for the National if he comes out of that sound.
