    out the door I ain’t gonna take this no more :lol:

    He’ll really need to bounce right back to his very best to have a chance of beating Sizing Europe.

    But remember if SE is beaten he has a sore foot :lol:

    Yes, exactly what i was thinking.

    He is reported to be completely over the injury, but it might hold him back if he loses.

    I’ve backed Sublimity this morning thinking the track will suit nicely. I’m a bit disappointed to see Sizing Europe declared though, I was expecting him not to be risked, making my bet decent value with the Rule 4 IMO.

    I was hoping the bookies would push Sizing Europe out so I could take advatage of it and bet him again.
    Not concerned about his foot as his trainer wouldn’t risk a horse like him after all his hard work getting him back on track.
    The Magic Sign have gone 2/1 which will do for me.I think it’s a knocking bet at that price :wink:

    Gone in with River Liane in this – for a horse who bar one run when he burst blood vessels is unbeaten in Ireland he´s a monster price. Also hoping his trainer will go "just like that" when asked how to win big races :wink:

    I went into the bookies with the intention of betting Brave Inca….i then saw that SE was 2s….. :twisted: :twisted: So i’ve changed my mind and plugged it all on SE.

    Sublimity for me, assuming he’s not slapped out the back and only asked to improve when the race is all but over.

    A small interest in Won in the Dark, too.

    Similar to Underscore here.

    I thought that there were too many doubts about SE, and was looking to oppose. However, seeing that he was above 2-1 on the exchanges, I’ve had a bet on him.

    Fingers crossed, eh lads.

    Sublimity for a win @ 4s and Won In The Dark e/w @ 20s whether sizing europe runs or not. Would have liked to see jered line up in this.

    Wish I’d done the forecast, at a good pace WITD is about 40lbs better than a slow pace.

    I haven’t a clue whats going to win this race. Sizing Europe has to win if he’s going to be a genuine Champion Hurdle contender IMO nothing less will do today.

    Watch only for me.

    Nicely done nonetheless Bulwark, great selections!

    Got 66-1 on Won In The Dark the other day for the champ hurdle too, so very happy with that run, looks to be going 25s now. Ended up only getting 7/2 about sublimity today though, but got 33s WITD.
