    Going back the grade 1, next year’s Arkle winner may have been 2nd as he will improve for a fence, looks big for hurdling.

    Yes I agree Mike

    Firefox looks a big gangly baby, made for fences

    Mystical power looks tiny I’d imagine he will stay over hurdles

    Daddy long legs a completely different horse on drier ground

    He’d have probably won the grade 1

    The Champion Chase was quite a thrilling race, but somehow not as good as the Energumene and Un De Sceaux renewals.

    I’m staying loyal to Monty in the next although I really do like Embassy Gardens (hope he’s over the fibrillating heart) and Spillane’s Tower too and the rest are all decent. Good race. If American Mike got out of the right side of bed he could run a big race too.

    Good horse that. Reckon Embassy’s heart or wind causing bother again. Three Card Brag for the NH chase next year?

    The winner is very useful and another smart chaser bought by JP. When was the last time I said such a thing?

    I’ve been tempted into an each way bet in the 6pm handicap chase on British raider Jetoile. He’s been given a 2lb lower mark in Ireland of 145 and has a 5lb claimer on board too. His best form is on decent ground and 16/1 represents good value with bet365 who are also boosting winnings by 25% in this race.

    Not too many bets today for me.
    Got to back the big awkward Blizzard in the 3.05 although he is short, I’ve followed him this far! I’ll probably put a tojen bet on Dancing City too .
    My main interest is William Munny in the 4.50 bumper, 5-1 is a decent price and I’ve taken a bit of the 20s for the Supreme 2025 too.
    Redemption Day has a decent chance on this ground, but it’ll be a travesty if this 7 year old wins a grade 1 “jumps” race in his 4th calendar year running in “jumps” races with no jumps. If he wins, he earns the same prize money – €60k- as the 2nd horse home in the following race which is the feature race of the festival, the Gold Cup. I’ll stop now cos I’m just annoying myself but…walofs.

    Backing Fastorslow looks a risky proposition. The trainer hasn’t had a jumps winner since January. Will the horse show the same kind of form as 12 months ago?
