    Becks – do you know if we’ll be saying the exceptionally named Cracboumwiz on the track again? He’s down as one of yours but hasn’t run since feb 2007. Remember seeing him in the Champion Bumper at Aintree a few years ago – the same one Noland ran in. Hope he comes back :)

    We’ve had serious rain here today so it’ll be very testing tomorrow- another frost forecast tonight so fingers crossed!

    What dya reckon on this one, Carv?

    Could all of this rescheduling lark play into the hands of WOA more than the others?

    Who’s your tip?

    The Listener at 5/1 is the value bet. Great price conditions should be ideal.

    Noland is probably still on the upgrade but he looks a bit soft and he’s got very little pace.

    The horse won a Supreme and he’s got "very little pace?" :?

    If you read the thread HWTH you’ll find that I think The Listener and Snowy Morning are overpriced. I don’t follow your logic on the delay helping WOA more than the others- if anything I would have it favouring the proven mudlarks like the two I’ve mentioned as it will be more testing tomorrow than it would have been on Sunday.
    Anyone else going? It’s free in you know!

    Snowy Morning does look very big for a proven mudlark Carv, I’d agree with you there.

    My comment regarding WOA was purely because he hasn’t had the inconvenience of having to find emergency gallops for the last few days like a couple of the others. Just caught the ground forecast though and from his form he’s never won on heavy ground before.

    He’s lost to The Listener on this kind of ground before but I can’t have The Listener following the run behind Kauto at Down Royal.

    I’ll stick with WOA tomorrow in the belief that he is back to his best – albeit a very, very small bet if anything at all

    See no reason to desert War tomorrow. If he reproduces anywhere near his best form he’ll take the world of beating. He would appreciate better ground but he does get through the heavy going. The Listener has conditions in his favour but his run up the North was hardly inspiring. I’m not yet convinced by Noland. He was impressive beating Tom Taaffe’s horse the last day but some of Nicholls’ horses over the past month or so have been running well below form and I’d want to be against him at around 2/1.

    I’ve always been a massive fan of War Of Attrition ever since he beat Macs Joy in a hurdle at Navan five years ago, so I’m probably a bit biased, but I hope that Mouse’s and Michael O’Leary’s patience with the horse will be rewarded tomorrow.

    Hopefully we’ll get the go ahead tomorrow and the rain holds off. The weather over the past fortnight really has been pish poor.

    Noland is probably the winner of this but think I’ll go for The Listener, who has everything in his favour @ 5-1 and One Cool Cookies, who IMO is just too big at 25s.

    A classy looking race on paper.

    ‘Paper’?.

    Is that a new going description? :oops:

    Seriously, I just hope they get the green light for racing as I backed Watson Lake last week. I’ve been told I were a fool for doing so, thus more riding on the punt than usual.
