    Thanks for the heads up Bobby, that makes me rethink things at the bottom end.

    Thanks Bobby, wasn’t aware of that. Doesn’t really affect me too much, other than I’m fairly certain At The Acorn or High Sparrow won’t get in.

    Throw in the travel doubts over Lock’s Corner, and I’m as well waiting now.

    Confused regarding Lock’s Corner, I thought any travel between the UK and Ireland wasn’t permitted yet he remains amongst the final field. What am I missing? :wacko:

    HRI – Declaration for Lock’s Corner (Jj O’Neill) for Leop will be accepted tomorrow. HRI is satisfied that the horse had arrived in Ireland in advance of our announcement on the travel of Irish and UK-trained horses between now and Dec 31 and has been attended by Irish-based staff only

    Was delighted when I seen he was declared. Considering he was 12’s, 14’s all along, was happy to take 10’s. Think he’s got a great chance.

    I’ll definitely be adding, one, maybe two, as always a fairly big betting race this.

    Give it a proper look tonight.

    Ten Ten has been on my radar since his win at Navan last year, and he’s been growing on me for this. I think he’s a very interesting one. Smashing run over hurdles last time, and I think he’s got more to offer. Decent jockey taking five off, and the more I look, the more I like.

    I’m going to have a good swing at him.

    Spoon, Run Wild Fred an interesting one alright, and if I add a third, it’ll either be him or fellow Gigginstown runners, Farclas or Milan Native.

    Lock’s Corner 10’s
    Ten Ten 25’s

    I’ve went with Castlebawn West 12/1, and the other two i’m mainly considering are: Dunvegan + Myth Buster.

    Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!

    I’ll go with Mitchouka here. The jockey is claiming 7 pounds here, and that is a big pro. I think that 25-1 is a massive price.

    He is definitely my main selection, but I have had an extra bet at 20-1 on Myth Buster, who is in the same ownership.

    Mitchouka for me at. Not to special als a hurdler, but he clearly improved as a chaser. On a nice weight. He does have to prove he stays the trip though.

    Mitchouka 25/1 EW 6 places
