    be interesting to see if INGLIS DREVER is as good as he was at Cheltenham earlier this year , anyone think BLACKJACK KETCHUM would of beaten him if he stayed on his feet??

    PIGEON ISLAND has rattled a hat-trick of late including an easy win in a class 2 last weekend fot NTD – has a magnifcent cruising speed and jumps well , needs to arrive on the seen late but with Paddy Brennan riding for NTD this year could be one to watch out for with Probable improvement to come!!

    wont be backing him at the silly prices that will be on offer but can KAUTO STAR be beaten this year?? be interesting to find out!!

    Most of those mentioned above (MWDS and Katchit especially) but also looking forward to see whether Amaretto Rose bounces back

    In some ways, alittle pressure is off Kauto this year, but at the same time, this could be the season he cements his place as the best since Desert Orchid.

    Sorry folks, Zome and I are already hatching a plan to horsenap Ballycassidy and he will after all be trained from my back garden / paddock with a Shetland pony, an ageing Welsh cross mare and a Highland for work companions.

    It’ll work wonders for his confidence.

    Get yer own ageing front running summer jumps icon, y’hear me?!?!?!

    Just to chuck another name in the hat, Neptune Collonges.

    Thought this horse ran well in the latter stages of last season and will be interesting to see how he has done since.

    louanos, twist magic and denman hopefully taking on exotic dancer so we can see how good he is. Welcoming back kicking king and war of attrition to add a bit of spice.

    re Louanos – I think madgic deserves a star for spelling that right! she was very disappointing at cheltenham, but I wonder how many people spelt it correctly on their betting slips! I certainly didn’t.

    re Ballycassidy – think I’m going into National Velvet dream land here – the question is if he comes and lives in my back garden who’s going to ride him?

    I’m on to it!!! I’d even lop off my hair!!!!

    remember ages ago Tony McCoy going out of his way to ride an unknown horse for an unknown trainer from the depths of Wales, I’m sure that was Ballycassidy.
