Antepost on this just now on Escaria Ten, now that he doesn’t go Friday. Just on the nose just now, but hopefully get decent EW Terms if there’s a good turnout

Caoilin Quinn add to the appeal of both Nassalam, and particularly Dom of Mary, but I’ll wait until Final Decs before deciding

Escaria Ten 40’s

Victtorino could have any amount of improvement in him and while he didn’t kick on as I expected last season, I’m nowhere near ready to abandon him. I’ve a feeling I have another Commodore on my hands.

Added Escaria to 66’s.

Had a long look at Nassalam, and Bangers and Cash, but I’ll stick with one

The Skeltons are in good form, so it’s Ballygriffincottage at 9-1 for me

[Tizaaards Cider]

I’ll be siding with Bangers and Cash.

[Chivers1987]

I’ll give HYMAC a go for a bit of each way interest. 3m4f win here in April, victorious on comeback over hurdles, fit, trainer in decent nick, tick.

11/2

Plenty old favs in here , as some point Ballygriffin cottage is going to win one of theses , I’ll also be tickling Monbeg Genius , a very frustrating horse but yard flying and he did run well in the coral last season

Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026

Ballygrifincottage 12s.

The more I know the less I understand.

I’ll be keeping an eye on market moves for Monbeg Genius. Market support would mean a lot. I believe he’s changed ownership too, which puts me off a bit. Maybe they cannot get his jumping right.

I’ve gone with three.
Hymac @ 4/1, Abuffalosoldier @ 11/2 and Surrey Quest @ 9.8.
Hymac is the improver from an in form yard.
Abuffalosoldier is usually an excellent leaper, made for Cheltenham.
Surrey Quest almost won the Scottish National at a massive price for me. This may not quite be far enough for him if they don’t go a strong pace. But there are front runners so am hopeful. He’s got a good record fresh too… If he’s not going to be prepped for April.

Value Is Everything

Abuffalosoldier 5-1, but my second selection is the one I’m more hopeful of with Undersupervision 28-1 ew

[Venture to Cognac]

With Escaria not going, went with Bangers and Cash for interest

Bangers and Cash 22’s EW4Pls

[MarkTT]

Didn’t win the race but have we just seen the Welsh National winner in second ?

[Wilts]

WD winners BUT
He’s just gone down – screens are up

[Chivers1987]

Well that was pretty depressing to watch.

[Ghost of Rob V]

Prayers for Abuffalosoldier. Hope he makes it…
