    hurricane fly for me. can’t believe this is the jolly when got turned over as favourite last year and now it’s arguably a hotter race.

    I know they think he’s a better horse this year and his prep didn’t go right when he was beaten by rock on ruby, but for me spanking thousand stars a thousand times in a row doesn’t make a great hurdler.

    Bobs Worth

    I think Silviniaco Conti or Long Run will win

    Got to agree, it’s The Fly for me!

    I followed him in 2011 and last year but think with the likes of Zarkandar, Rock on Ruby and Grandouet he’s up against better horses this year.

    Also, read Willie Mullins comments after his prep race last year when he said "My first reaction is it might be his best ever performance.". This year Wilie says "he’s back to his very best". Don’t see much difference in the comments and feel the result could be the same.

    I’d be laying Silviniaco Conti, Hurricane Fly and My Tent or Yours. Think 2 of the 3 will definitely get beat.

    Dynaste (RSA). I think his stamina will be stretched beyond its fragile limits.

    Sdc maybe for me. Maybe too big for me to genuinely lay ( don’t do that much) but he’s too short for some so so laboured looking performances

    100% it’s Hurricane Fly.

    Got outpaced last year, needs further in top company.

    Absolute false price and though the 5/4 has gone, you could still lay him at 7-4 if you have the funds and inclination.

    Quickly, though, as he keeps drifting…

    Hurricane Fly, My Tent or Yours and Bobs Worth.

    Will be amazed if more than one of these wins and unsurprised if none do.

    Bobs Worth for me. At least one of the other market principles will prove better on the day.

    The Nicholls runners, Dodging Bullets, Far West, Zarkander, Silviniaco Conti, Sanctuaire. All place lays.

    nicholls was very bullish about far west last night on the betfair preview, but I must admit that I can’t see it winning either. for me it lacks the class needed to win a triumph.

    We will have to see then, I’ve backed both Far West and Rolling Star to win the Triumph hoping one will pull it off. Need the Irish form not to hold up for Our Conor!

    Now dynaste has switched to the jewson I’d say cue card is lay of the meeting. You need a 3miler to win the Ryanair and this fella barely gets 20f. Add the soft ground and his task is hopeless. First lieutenant/menorah forecast for me.

    it would seem like that on the surface, but he’s by the late sire king’s theatre who provided the winner last year in riverside theatre, and his progeny generally excel over further
