Saw Ballabrigs at Kelso. He didnt look as fit as he was the year before (in the same race) and ran well considering. I reckon he is the best chance of a repeat winner we have had for while. According to Pete ran well too but he is not very big.
I have gone AP on The Midnight Club and Balabriggs.I have gone AP on The Midnight Club and Balabriggs.
Not sure about The Midnight Club, sandwith. I backed him last year and watched as he seemingly scared himself with an early mistake. He backed off every fence after that, jumping very slowly and cautiously.
In hindsight, Ruby Walsh worked miracles to get him around at all, let alone finish so close.
So you could view The Midnight Club’s chance two ways this year.
1. He’ll go very close this year if he has forgotten the whole experience.
2. He looks after himself and might not be suited to the race at all.
I suspect we will know quite early with him. Just struck me that he finished on the heels of the winners last year and hit every fence. If he does get into a rhythm he may still be on a decent mark and at 33/1 i figured it was a decent price.
form updated from todays results, also not that quantitativeeasing needed to finish n firt 4 at cheltenham he finished 6th so not qualified

Sunnyhillboy looks nicely handicapped after his Kim Muir win, thought he’d be shorter than 20/1. Obviously whichever JP horse AP McCoy rides will have an effect on the market. Whatever it is will probably be no bigger than 14/1.
I have backed 3 EW with the hope that 2 make it!!
Killyglen was still going well enough last year when he came down 4 out. The 33s was far too big
West End Rocker was BD last year so hopefully this safe jumper will get a clearer run this time round! 25s was accepted
Finally, after Malcolm Jefferson had such a great festival I have taken 40s about his According to Pete
unsure over midnight chase if he will run or not, i think he won’t but we’ll soon find out
forfiet stage tomorrow

59 left in at forfeit stage, including Synchronised and Midnight Chase.
Hold on Julio was shortest priced defector. Quantitativeeasing not qualified.
Can’t believe how many defected. If we get that again we’ll only have one reserve! Can’t see another 18 going though.
eeekkk 59 left, if alot more go we could be looking at less then 40 runners, still top class horses entered though
