    Cheers Cork and HDLG, and of course you are right, it was the RSA not the GC and that was a bit of
    a howler. In my defence it was bloody 4 o’clock in the morning and my brain doesn’t work too well
    at the best of times :wacko:

    Anyway, I’m sure you get the sentiment behind it if you swap the two around. As it happens we are
    not going to know for now as he has been withdrawn. So it’s back to the drawning board for a 2nd
    time as Cloth Cap also didn’t make it :unsure:

    I’ve also went with Larry here. I think he’ll go very close, and I thought that the price was an ew steal.

    I will be curious to see if Regal Encore is on a going day. If so, he should have a decent EW shot on this mark. Course and distance won’t be an issue.

    Regal Encore 25/1 EW.

    I like Ascot for Go Conquer.

    He’s a very difficult horse to weigh up with regard to what his main target will be, so I have a feeling that they might just have him spot on for this, and then they’ll take it from there.

    I don’t have a Marathon Bet account to take advantage of 28/1, but I will still happily grab 20.

    Welcome to TRF Spoon.

    Go Conquer is a real old favourite of mine, but I never really caught him right. I agree that’s a big price.

    Good luck.

    At the 3rd attempt, I’m going for Adrien Du Pont, surely he won’t be withdrawn too :wacko:
    The ground is down as g/s at the moment, but with the forecast rain I reckon it will be
    soft at best and he won’t mind that at all. I thought he looked impressive winning at
    Kempton in December, ran not bad when closing after being held up next time out at
    Kempton and then didn’t quite see out his race at Aintree in April. He’s had wind
    surgery since, and if that has him back to, or better than, his previous form then
    he should go well here. 12/1 seems reasonable.

    I mentioned Ultragold a while back in the thread, and although this
    is his prep for Aintree, he might just run well enough to sneak into the 5 places at
    50/1. Worth a few quid.

    Punted Mister Malarky each way with 5 places at Betfred. Although I must admit I am scared a bit by Vinndication despite my earlier comment.

    A very good performance. He must have a serious engine. I did not think he jumped that fluently but he still had enough left to give the last about a foot! Looks like he was punted off the boards as well.

    I can never get Kim Baileys horses right; ditto NTD.

    Thanks although Neil put him up first at more than twice the price!
    Great EW shout for you and DBR on Regal Encore.

    Thanks VTC. :good:

    Although I’d tipped at 8/1, I actually got 7/1 with Hills and with my other bets broke even today.

    However with Pat’s Ante Post since being backing my choices and at the moment my betting is paying off.

    Well done greenasgrass and RR. Proper perfomance by Vinndication. Will he have a shot at the King George? I’m happy with Regal Encore. He clearly was on a going day and only beaten by a very talented horse.

    I thought that I was on to a winner with Go Conquer, but he just blew up. I certainly wouldn’t have had any concerns about betting him fresh though before the race.

    Back here in December, The Silver Cup must be very tempting for connections.

    Well done to RR and Green with a very impressive winner. He strikes me as one who will just come up short in the top races, but that hardly matters here, and you must have been counting your winnings a fair way out. His best asset looks to be his jumping.

    I didn’t consider Regal Encore for this, but he’s a very admirable type. 25/1 was a nice price, well done VtC and DBR
