    This is my shortlist

    Too Forward
    Idole First
    Palarshan
    Vodka Bleu
    Granit Jack

    With the exception of Granit Jack, i could back em all, but I like look of Vodka Bleu and can’t resist little nibble on Too Forward

    About as short as mine then.

    :wink:

    Unless Granit Jack is another Exotic Dancer, it’s a competitive affair KS and probably a race the wiser bettors out there have said "forget that" :)

    I know mate, i was only having a laugh with you.

    See that Ruby Walsh was injured in the fall on one of his mounts earlier so Liam Heard will now ake the ride of Granit Jack.

    He has been killed by his fall.

    Absolutely awful news, commiserations to all concerned.

    Yes I backed Granit Jack and am confident he would have won at a canter. But that pales into complete and utter insignificance compared to the loss of life of the horse today. A potential superstar, only a 5 year old with the racing game at his feet. Poor Paul Nicholls, to lose not 1 but 2 horses in an afternoon is very very sad indeed.

    Credit to Graham Lee for a fantastic ride aboard L’Antartique.

    Perfect ride from the best jockey in the land. Kept his horse out of trouble and timed his run to perfection. simply perfect.

    I was on L’Antartique too and won a couple of quid as a result but i feel somewhat overshadowed and sad with the horses that have died today, absolutely awful and i hope they both RIP.

    FWIW I thought he’d have won, despite displaying a tendency to jump right-handed. It reminded me of the Gloria Victis fall, in that he may not have been equipped to take on this class so early in his career- easy to say, but if he’d won….
    He seemed to jump the fence OK then knuckle on landing- AP has a point in his other thread.
