    Duffle Coat is steady and the jockey is 3 from 6 at the course
    Churchstonewarrior is interesting on decent ground with the cheekpieces and Stone-Walsh in the saddle…might squeak a place in the top five

    I’ll join you on Churchstonewarrior ew Mark, I don’t think the stable move is a negative, he jumps well, has some good back form and ran a nice prep behind race fit horses in Saylavee and Zanahiyr. He’s 9lb better off with the latter today, and the jockey is well worth his 5lb with a good staying handicap chase under his belt already.

    My other ew bet is Lucid Dreams who ran in decent company last year. He has won a hurdle race over the trip, is out of a half sister to Monkerhostin and settling better than he used to so trip should be OK. Not sure how he will go after a break- the idea of a break is alien to John Ryan’s horses- but he could be on a good mark.

    I think the ground has gone for Duffle Coat hence the drift.

    I’m not getting too invested in these Irish handicaps this season. I put a small stake on 3 outsiders here.

    “Not sure what the hell the others were doing giving him that easy lead , not sure what to make of that”

    I think anything that tried to go with him would have fallen out the back of the telly. Not going to get anywhere in a gold cup- he took plenty of birch home with him today and he’s just not good enough- but would be interesting for the Grand National.
