    I ended up with:
    * Lough Derg Spirit 20/1 EW
    * Quamino 22/1 EW

    Lough Derg Spirit ran a very decent race last year in the Martin Pipe. Won his first start over fences, fifth on his second start in quite a strong race and won easily the next time. He will handle the ground and track and with Nico de Boinville I think he should go well. Quamino won a strong handicap chase at Leopardstown at the Dublin festival over two miles and stayed on strongly to win. He has only been raised a few pounds for that. He has been steadily improving the last two years and I think he can improve even more.

    have had a second bet in this on TOWER BRIDGE at 8/1. Has decent placed form over fences and even better hurdle form last year behind Santini at Aintree and in the Spud race at Cheltenham.

    :good: :good:

    Stuck on The Russian Doyen at 33/1 earlier with Willie Hill. He didn’t
    do too well last time he was at Cheltenham, but looked useful enough either
    side of that run at Newbury and Exeter. I’ve just added Cubomania 20/1,
    he’s got c/d form and Davy Russell is a big bonus round here.

    Graham, I hope you’re a lucky mascot for Cubomania, but market ominous, and yard doing terrible.

    Solomn Grundy added at 20’s

    Cubomania seems to be shortening a bit now Bobby, I grabbed him at 20s with Betfred, but
    he’s into 14s now. Maybe it’s a much needed good omen :good:

    Caps a great year for Rachel Blackmore, unlikely to see an easier winner all week

    I managed to convince myself I was in with a shout coming round the home turn lol,
    in the end I was just happy that The Russian Doyen held on for a place. The winner
    looks some horse, well done all that were on him :good:

    Super work Kev.
    Well done Rachael. If you lot across the ditch can access TG4’s recent programmes then “Jump Girls” is worth a watch. It’s narrated in Irish but almost all the interviews are in English.

    That was incredible, he’s got about four stone in hand there. Future Gold Cup Winner right there

    One thing that you guarantee Bobby is that he’s unlikely to run in a handicap again

    Well done Kev
