Hoping for a big run from Gaelic Warrior but it’s not easy knowing the levels of fitness and Fact to File is also a beast

November 18, 2025 at 18:41 #1745044Fact To File is the 2 and a half mile champion so he should be winning this.
November 19, 2025 at 22:43 #1745090Nathan, he needs two good runs this season: one in the KG and then in the GC. If he lacks fitness on Sunday that’s still okay with me. We know Willie gets them fit when it matters.
November 19, 2025 at 22:51 #1745092I’d settle for that Ruby…
Everything else is a jolly bonusCharles Darwin to conquer the World
November 21, 2025 at 19:26 #1745183Had an Antepost in this with Appreciate It, and was going to leave it at that, but with him hitting 28’s in places, and Four Places up for grabs, I’ll side with James Fu Berlais. No mug in his own right, and course and trip ideal.
Grangeclare West very interesting too at 28’s
Cracking line up, for all that a few, like Grangeclare, probably not in it to win it
My old pal Nick Rockett there too, but even if he’s going for Gold this season, they’ll surely not blow his mark with Aintree in mind too.
A proper race to enjoy this one, but I’m loving that 66’s James Du Berlais, and not ruling out a late bet on Grangeclare either

November 23, 2025 at 07:09 #1745406Really is a cracking renewal , this should be right up FTF street but how fit will he be , Gaelic will surely get tapped for toe , iknow will be all about Cheltenham and ditto the GN horses , Lecky is a horse going under the radar and I’ve already backed him for the GC , from a punting view Heart Wood is fit and the yard is flying , he’s the e.w play , looking forward to seeing Fastorslow to , if he comes back well then we are going to have a cracking winter
November 23, 2025 at 10:07 #1745408Fact To File 2-1 bog
Bigger price than i was expecting so I’ll have a go.

“Fact To File has every chance here, he’s working well at home.
Gaelic Warrior comes here in great order, Paul [Townend] has been very happy with his work and I’m hoping that he’ll give Fact To File most to do.”November 23, 2025 at 11:20 #1745411Fastorslow for me
November 23, 2025 at 11:20 #1745412I’m in with your Grangeclare West Bobby
40/1 EW Paddy Power.
He’s a tough character and should handle conditions.Also had a freebet EW on GN winner
I Am Maximus at 66/1
With 4 places on offer worth a try.
Looks like a competitive race.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...November 23, 2025 at 11:24 #1745413Just noticed reviewing my bets that Paddy Power only offering 3 places but bets struck now and freebets used.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...November 23, 2025 at 11:29 #1745414Reading the RP it sounds like Fastorslow has been brought along slowly so will most likely need the run , I’ve got FTF in a short price lucky 15 ,he’s just a classier horse than Gaelic and hopefully he’s wound up enough to show his form , e.w Heart Wood is fit and looks the e.w value along with Lecky Watson , I’ve played this lad again for the GC , he’s going under the radar and we’ll find out more today if he’s ready to step up
November 23, 2025 at 13:50 #1745421Fact to File for me, and the ew on Grangeclare West, he’s got a better jockey on this year and presumably won’t get hidden under a bushel as much this year.
November 23, 2025 at 13:55 #1745422Heart Wood 6/1 w/o the two favs for me
November 23, 2025 at 14:35 #1745424Heart Wood 13/1 win only (LADs boost)
November 23, 2025 at 15:00 #1745427Heart Wood 22-1, boosted and free bet
November 23, 2025 at 15:06 #1745428Wow that was some race.
