    Grimes: I’m afraid i totally agree, i wouldn’t be touching Overturn in this ground and with such an inexperienced jockey up. The lad has won hcap hurdles but judging pace in a race like this will be a massive test for him. What i will say however that the more he drifts the closer to a ‘saver’ he becomes!

    Still down as good/soft so i am guessing Newcastle missed the rain last night and yesterday.

    Still like the look of

    :D

    Was going to back High Office today, but his price has come right in. Was worth an ew at 16’s but not at 12’s, especially as he has a bad draw also.

    So annoyed I missed the 16’s BB, but took the [now down to] 11’s today. Also backed Investissement [good draw]as I said I’d follow Singspiels’ over the longer distances and I ignored Swingkeel last week [having followed him for ages!]. Would still love the mare to run a mighty race, though.

    The one I fancy is


    Also I’ve always liked Mount Athos, but

    Totally agree mate for completely the same reasons – will definately stay. Harlestone Times for me to.

    Cracking stuff from Segal..wouldn’t have picked that with 15 go’s

    went for a low weight one in high office, winner was just above him, but never considered, c’est la vie, thought hayley gave activate a shocker, the winner won from high so no excuses

    I notice Segal took account of breeding when nominating Tominator. A fairly obvious thing to do in a long distance race but I was surprised very few pundits here or elsewhere commented much on the contenders’ stamina/dosage stats.

    Was my second highest rated horse, but ignored him because of draw, age, and the fact he hadn’t ran over long [er] distances. Usually look at pedigree but didn’t know what to make of his. Stats seem to be flying out the window these days. Pleased for the trainer, though.
