Ivan Gorb at 5s with the good ground is interesting. If it was truly the heavy ground that got him beat last time and hes as good as they think then that could be a very decent price.
Am already on Gibral whatever ante post and have just backed Footpad and Connectable but am not super confident!!
SCEAU ROYAL will do nicely for me. He won the Triumph Hurdle Trial at
Cheltenham like an improving horse. Won with one leg tied behind his back
last time at Huntington, and although that hardly counts at 2/11, he looks
worth a bet at 8/1.This could be interesting O’Brien’s horse will like the going but the hill and pace of the race will favour Footpad

THIS! BOOOOOOM
Well done King, he flew.
and I’ve got some points on the board now in VTC’s pricewise comp @3/1 I think, better than losing every race.

Looks a lovely horse.
If you fancy him for the Champion Hurdle Ante Post, you are betting against the weather.Charles Darwin to conquer the World
He could of been up the backside sat last of the runners instead of 3 lengths behind but think the horse took a bit too long to pick up.

cheers.
Yea he loved that ground. Really showed his flat speed the way he flew up after the mare.
Good start to the day.Funny, I’ve always maintained that I readily oppose the Irish raid at Chelters but yesterday, I decided to pull my finger out and back Ivanovich Gorbatov, Don Cossack and On The Fringe in a £7 patent bet. I’ll be getting back just over £99
Well one IG backers.
Thought Ruby gave Footpad an awful lot to do
Agreed.
Ruby did well over the four days, can’t get them all right but Footpad was one of the worst rides of the Festival by any jockey.
Keeping three lengths off the back of the pack is fine in a strongly run race, but in a slowly run affair has no chance attempting those tactics. To come through from there whilst rivals are quickening from the front – used up so much energy to get third, not surprising had nothing else left. Ruby should’ve known better and taken closer order once able to see the pace was slow.
First two were so far clear, probably wouldn’t have won or been second, but “probably” doesn’t mean definitely and would’ve certainly been a lot nearer the ones in front.
Value Is EverythingWell one IG backers.
Thought Ruby gave Footpad an awful lot to doI was thinking that as they approached the first, S/c. I reckon anyone who backed Footpad (I didn’t but he was one I reluctantly passed over in favour of the filly) has every right to be fizzing mad. I’m surprised the stewards didn’t ask for a lie, sorry, I mean an explanation.
Ruby was raging after the race. Presume he was expecting one of the other Mullins horses to make it a real test but didn’t transpire like he had wished and ended up trying to come from way back off a slow gallop to no avail. Personally i think the best horse won but Rubys annoyance was plain to see and i presume someone didn’t do their job.

I don’t buy that.
More likely to be faked anger to keep the lie going.
If you analyse every one of his rides you can tell when he’s trying and when he isn’t. No-one judges the pace here better than him. He would have known before they jumped the first that they weren’t overdoing it. He’s more likely to be angry because he made it look so obvious.
I also read he claimed the headgear made Footpad sulk and drop himself out. How many stories is he going to make up?
