    Joined you Tommy, been planning on betting him a while now, and decided to just go with him just now. Bet him to the penny to break even on race, and had a small go on him on exchange too. Threw a couple of quid his way in King George too

    The course going has dried from soft, heavy in places to soft all around in just over 6 hours.
    Really hoping Banbridge gets his chance.

    Ahoy Senior will run in this and not the Gold cup. Ga Law has been supplemented also for this race

    I was hoping Ga Law would be supplemented and think he could run a big race if he jumps like last time.

    Not looking good for us Banbridge followers 2 years running. With the rain over the weekend leaving soft conditions again, I think he’s a major doubt now.

    Heavy in the ground description …. More likely we’ll see Shergar

    O’Brien on RTV sounded quite positive about Banbridge. He thought about taking Lark In The Mornin out but decided to let him run.

    You know it makes sense, Joseph…

    I’ve got Banbridge , Conflated and Ahoy senor covered but I’ll be honest the form of the HDB yard makes me think Envoi will run a big race

    Would be stunned if Banbridge runs – more rain is forecast and even if it starts to dry up it will first go through that really holding/tiring stage that is harder to get through than heavy ground.

    If conditions stay the same, this now seems to be tailor made for Protektorat and the greater emphasis on stamina will also suit Capodanno.

    Hitman looks in better shape then last year. He last run behind Shishkin over 3 miles was very promising. This must be his ideal distance and already 3rd in it last year.

    Hitman 25/1 EW

    Banbridge is probably better on a sounder surface, so he was bound to drift when there’s rain around whether he’s taken out or not. I suspect he will be withdrawn.

    If so there seems to be a 21.21% reduction factor coming on betfair.

    I’m on Protektorat 14/1 and Capodanno 9/1 ante-post and Envoi Allen 7/2.
    Will be looking to do a Mike and cash out the middle one of those… But will wait and hopefully the Mullins money will come for it tomorrow.

    Great to see Skelton in such good form for Protektorat, but could’ve done without there being three others who like to lead.
    Envoi Allen is the obvious one. Henry’s Cheltenham horses who’ve had a long break… Say no more.

    Haven’t had a proper look at this but my inclination is to take on the front of the market on account of Banbridge probably not running, Stage Star’s terrible prep and the fact he’s not won an open group race yet and Envoi Allen because if you take Shishkin out last year and he didn’t run his race it was a bad race beating Hitman and French Dynamite. He’s a year older and although it feels brave taking on Henry at the moment I think this is a much better renewal. I will be waiting for the markets to reform when Banbridge inevitably comes out probably, hopefully Joseph puts us out of our misery early doors.
