    No plans for an Antepost just now, but 40’s Man O Work the standout right now, and I’ll probably buckle at some point, while Risk Belle is the one I’d considered long term for it

    DADDY LONGLEGS 8/1

    Is 2/2 going right handed Mullins has a great record in race and normally horses with a big weight win this race to.

    Nurburgring would be one i’d consider, will stay further judgining by his flat career. Has had a pipe-opener and will go on any ground. I suspect a proper handicap pace will help him + the course could help bring his staying capabilities into play.

    Anotherway looked like he through the Punchestown race away but i think they went too early. 137 is fine. Fairyhouse looked to me like he was bolting up and if they can keep him covered up longer here, i’d fancy him to come swinging late on. Could end up just being a disappointment, but at this sort of price i’d give him another go.

    Spoon, Petrol Head an interesting one, and certainly on the radar, but trying hard to have just the one.

    Main fancy Man O Work has been balloted out, so sticking with Risk Belle at moment and looking to beat 14’s

    Risk Belle EW7Pls

    Nothing springs to mind so 3 of the Mullins battalion ew for me
    Anotherway 18-1 jarred hind end a bit LTO?
    Icare Desbois 33-1 got improvement left in him
    Arctic Fly 66-1 game wee thing, tongue tie to help

    Of these Icare Desbois perhaps interests me most , but backed all 3

    Topweight Winter Fog for me. Impressive in his last race over this distance and a former course winner.

    Winter Fog 25/1 EW

    With the stable in cracking form I’ve gone for Nurburgring in this. Had a pipe opener on the flat a fortnight ago.

    I had Small stabs at PETROL HEAD and JESSE EVANS last night both around 11/1.
    Both well backed today but now the former has been banned from running so rule 4 bigger than it needed to be.

    Anyway Jesse Evans has been 2nd in this race twice so had to give him his chance. Noel Meade flying so also backed his filly in the 355 too. Let Her Fly.

    The start was a complete shambles. The Stewards’ Report reads:

    ‘The Raceday Stewards reviewed the start of this race. Having viewed the recording of the start and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.’

    …been hitting the Guinness in the Stewards’ Room I assume…
