    Had to add General Principle here at 14’s. Could have been him or Monbeg, but if Monbeg wins, that would’ve good for my Gold Cup bet, so no point in betting him here.

    If Invitation Only shortens much more, I’ll lay off for green book, but I’ll watch how it goes.

    Can’t believe I’m not with Pairofbrowneyes here in any form, but have to draw the line somewhere.

    Borice – first time tongue tie, back on Soft ground.

    Small interest in a tricky handicap

    I was dead against him, until i watched back Punchestown where Monalee caused him to unseat, he was still going very well + on that form he is nicely well in. Wouldn’t back him at the price as he can make an error himself.

    I can see Pairofbrowneyes running a big one too.

    Part of my problem with this race is i can see a few doing that lol.

    POBE, IO and General Principle are the 3 i’d like to be with right now…..I had previously been interested in Mr Diablo, but that interest was more with another dry spell.

    Will try + get bigger prices on the 3 on the exchanges.

    Yeah Jack, I’ve been wanting Invitation Only to run in this all season. One of my pet hates is horses being credited with an “Unseated Rider” when they were obviously “brought down”.

    He would have went very close that day at Punchestown, in a hot race, but his run went unnoticed after “what happened next”.

    General Principle is a long term fav of mine and had to add him, while I’m convinced Browneyes will land a big one this year.

    No bet for me but I like Mr Diablo tackling 3 miles for only the 3rd time after his Troytown 2nd. Gets weight off everything bar the reserves.

    Probably wanting to keep the ride on him for Cheltenham….

    That’s probably it right enough.

    This looks a good race. Might have to sneak off for a tea break and watch it

    I’ve bet Dounikos at 14-1, and I think I’ll have a bit of the 6 Places as well.

    Trying to figure out the plot jobs is a nightmare. Out Sam looks like a good each way play for me.

    I’m absolutely staggered at the price of Monbeg Notorious for this with six places Skybet. How on earth can he be 9/1?

    Frankly, I think that’s a wrong price. I’ve had a small bet on the favourite too who could just be abit too good for a handicap. But Monbeg Notorious is absolutely the one.

    Monbeg Notorious e/w 9/1 (6 places)
    Invitation Only e/w 9/2 (6 places)

    Miles ahead of the SP again Bobby, 14/1 is a cracking win for a horse you’d been waiting
    to get entered in this for some time. Well done :good:
