    Good luck mate, I would probably follow you in, but I’m always a bit wary when they’re first time up :good:

    Should be a fascinating race and I hope either BDM or Might Bite can prove genuine champions. Think I’m just going to have small e/w bets on Double Shuffle & Traffic Fluide. Neither should be good enough but, with question marks over several of the others, 100-1 for a place looks decent value in an 8 runner field (though may already have missed that price with Double Shuffle). Good luck to all & here’s hoping all runners come home safely

    100 on must back (might bite) and 25 saver on tea for too at 25-1. think the horse has been underestimated, many punters will be biased against it as has female jock on board.

    gl everyone :good:

    I’m hoping BDM is as good as I think he is Tonge, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Traffic Fluids. He’s been a nightmare to train with his injuries, but he does have some ability. I think there’s only a small chance of a place but at those odds its worth a couple of quid.

    Whisper EW 8/1 for me. Might Bite didn’t beat him that far last season at Aintree and I think Whisper had a very encouraging run at Newbury. Also rooting for Bristol de Mai as I have him for the Triple Crown.

    It’s a good clash. I’d be happy if Bristol De Mai wins as it keeps alive a few on the forums hopes of the big treble bet that said I’m a big fan of Might Bite, his run at Kempton last year was eye popping and I reckon he has the speed around this track to get the better of his counter part and his engine is not bad either.

    Ground changed to soft, good to soft in places. I hope for my sake Might Bite can handle it. :unsure:

    Besides my bet on Fox Norton, i will go with Tea For Two EW @ 25s.
    Nick Williams has won with 4 of his last 5 runners with the other one finishing 2nd. This horse likes the track and should be fitter after his Haydock run.

    Hendo mentioned soft ground would be a concern – looks like there can be no excuses for BDM ground wise, although to be fair horses have not been finishing out on their feet in the races so I don’t think it will be as testing as he really revels in.

    Hendo mentioned soft ground would be a concern – looks like no excuses for BDM now with the ground change.

    Everything in his favour now, was hoping it sould be good ground so we could find more out about him, although no excuses now

    Good luck everyone

    The debate will soon be over . . . The pre-race one at least!

    Hard to know about Might Bite; early in the straight he looked like strolling home, but it was hard work in the end, and the placed horses don’t help the form. Still, clear winner and maybe improvement to come
