    No market yet, but will definitely be one soon

    Pied Piper is the standout for me, but just keep having the niggling thought, that his target will be Cheltenham, where I think he’d be ideal for National Hunt Chase

    I won’t be in a rush though when market forms, as I like half the yards entries, including Three Card Brag, who I always give a good word to, and also ex stablemate Dunboyne

    No bet even when market forms, but the three at entry stage for me………

    Dunboyne
    Pied Piper
    Three Card Brag

    Can see the appeal of Will The Wise but 5-1 is short short.

    The one that really stands out to me is Search For Glory for Elliot.

    Won the race last twice with 20-1 shots.

    Went off 9-2 for a hot Leop DRF handicap, off 3pd higher. This trip on hurdle form more to his liking.

    Doesn’t mind a heavy slog.

    Jockey. A very good jockey for chasing. Flying this season so far and is 7-22 this year for Elliot over fences. Rides Navan well, 7-38. There’s even more numbers showing how good he is.

    At around 18, 20/1 for me, he is a bet.

    Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!

    Jack, at this moment in time, I’m afraid I’m following you in.

    Missed the price on Dunboyne, and almost went with one of the other Giggs horses, Will Do, but he let me down last time, and though I’d still give him a chance here, a bit of me thinks I’m just betting him to make up for last time.

    I’ll definitely stick with Pied Piper as planned, but even then, I’ve still got an eye on March with him

    I’ve bet Quai De Bourbon for Aintree, so win or lose, I hope he acquits himself well

    Edit – After all that, I’ve went with Favori De Champdou instead of Search For Glory. Good price you got Jack, good luck

    Money about for Will do who has a lovely weight ( if the Mullins horse is a National horse then they won’t want to leave it here ) added to Will do is Pied Piper , he’ll travel but as always is he likely to find anything … Prob not but he’s a huge price for the class act

    Will Do

    Pied Piper

    Blinder from Dunboyne thought he might do it coming to the last.

    “Nice racecourse gallop there for the Mullins horse”

    Yes- riding instructions- pop away gently round the outside to get him jumping after Junior ballsed him up last year and stop when you think you’ve had enough of a nice school

    A lot of horses can carry some condition first time up, his rating of 151 is fine for a GN it’s not so big that they needed to cheat so to speak. He’s a bit young for a 2026 Grand National with the 7 yr olds win record overall, and Mullins will have a few going into it with chances.
