    I’m still thinking that Fairyhill Run is due, but she’s third choice at moment behind JP’s pair, Glenquin Castle, and particularly Sir Bob

    Sir Bob was in good form over fences at tail end of last season, and though not getting any younger, I’d expect him to be better for last couple of low key spins over hurdles as well.

    I think he’s much better than a 20-1 shot. I have bet him, but a smaller bet right now, with a fairly dry few days ahead. Not really concerned, but makes sense to me to wait just now, and just a wee bet just now as I don’t think he should be 20’s

    Glenquin Castle or Fairyhill run for the backup hopefully

    Sir Bob 16’s EW5Pls/20’s

    I couldn’t really split Salmanino 8-1, and Call The Tune at 10-1, so I have bet both of them

    In an uninspiring contest Royal Thief, lightly raced, goes well off a break and doesn’t seem overburdened on 133. Secondly Flash De Touzaine, solid form in staying chases and respectable form when coming off a break.

    Yeah, Royal Thief has so much going for him ( fresh, right handed track and now the stable…)

    Fairyhill Run for a place

    Walk Away for me.

    Got a better price- just think he has some form there that suggests 130 is within his reach. Along connections really persevering i’d say they’ll have him ready to rock first time out. Even more so since he was pulled out for the Kerry (i think it was Kerry!) National.

    Wd winners, Walk Away continues to be a massive frustration not making it round
