    One Big Bang 16/1 e/w 5 places 1/5 odds

    Very solid race at Cheltenham, third behind two progressive performers over 3m 6f in the race that yielded the winner of this last year..

    I see the RP have quoted some punter

    ”I got a chocolate egg and £5 in a card yesterday from my mum. I’m 45!

    I decided that the only sensible thing to do was put £2.50 each-way double on flicker of hope in the Irish National today with Twig in the Aintree version. Thankfully, he looks like he’s got in now.”

    Up thread we have..
    Tizard’s Cider, I’ve gone for an each way double of Flicker of Hope in this with Twig next week at Aintree.

    I wonder..

    Anyway, One Big Bang, O’Toole and Brighter Days Ahead all e/w for me.

    I’ve added Shanbally Kid ( distance, Spring ground, right handed track ) as a strong contender for the extra place markets

    Shanbally Kid one of the few remaining Presentings running I assume and they have a good record in the race so it’s a sentimental bet for me. Born Braver is my main bet, though.

    He’s been mentioned a couple of times on here, but I
    can’t have him going off at 25/1. I’ve been gabbing and they are off already
    Good luck

    What an exciting start all galloping in and he let them go in the UK I guarantee that would have been a non goer.

    What was the dead horse “hidden” by the screens?

    Rushmount sadly passed Ruby. Racing Post race commments refer to him going wrong but I had to do some digging as I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere that a horse had in fact died which I thought was very poor. Timeform reference it in their race comments but you have to dig deep to find it. RIP and commiserations to connections.

    Thanks TTM, I had noticed that yesterday some hours after the race. Irish TV presenters never talk about the negatives of a race.

    The winner was quite good though, but I don’t think they’ll go for next years’ GC with him.
