    I like to have a poke before this years race has been run
    Mighty Potter and Fact to File didn’t make to the big one in my previous attempts but even if they had GDC would have been tough to crack.
    Next year GDC will be 10.
    Fact to File will be attempting a second Ryanair
    and Ballyburn will be a hot pot for the Gold Cup maybe even after this week is over
    I’ve already pushed Skybets 16’s into 12’s .. :rose:

    Dancing City is a dud… Ballyburn, its a cash out Id suspect.

    I had the same bet Nath, so stuck with it.

    Cash out available for me Landafar, but at a loss, so I’ll just leave it. I’d bet him for King George too, and bizarrely, was able to cash him out for that no problem this morning, but definitely down as my first loser for next year here.

    Mike has already cashed out for a profit. ;-)

    Ballyburn was my idea of the winner as well but I couldn’t go anywhere near him now. I usually forgive one bad run but there was a lot to forgive yesterday. It was a shocker.

    Myself and HDLG both agree Gaelic Warrior at 33/1 is worth a tenner

    After today’s gutsy performance, I’ve had an ew punt on Caldwell Potter at 40s with Paddy Power.

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

    Had a tickle at Lecky Watson at 25s , he seems to go under the radar but he a smooth jumper and looks the best of the younger brigade

    Taken the 40-1 Haiti Couleurs, given that Rebecca Curtis mentioned the Gold Cup as a possible target. There’s a strong chance that the horse could develop into the top British prospect for the race, at the very least.

    I’ve added Haiti Colours here ( plenty times during he summer ) very Native River vibe to him , if last year’s winner comes back a1 he’s going to be difficult to beat however this boy looks the value just now

    Gaelic Warrior was a fresh 5 y/o runaway two years ago.
    Still reaching his prime
    He hasn’t lose a race run over beyond 2 miles in 2025 …. :whistle:
