To be fair they have communicated really well this week. There wasn’t anything significant on the radar after Storm Chandra and the track was raceable Wednesday. There was every reason to be optimistic. Then this other system pops up and they warned the public any significant rainfall would be a sting in the tail.
The problem is that it wasn’t definitely going to hit them, it was a twirly whirly weather platter skirting the edge of Ireland and buggering off again.
The track was raceable again Friday afternoon, it would be very silly to abandon Saturday at that point and then only get a mil or two overnight.

Twinjets 100/30, impressed me last time but I missed out that day so hope he’s still improving. Good ground will suit, course unknown but should be fine. Beat Heltenham 10 lengths who fell next time late on when looking dangerous.

I’ll take a punt on VINCENZO to improve from last year which ended with a grade 3 runner up spot at Newbury. Ran OK before that at Cheltenham but that was over 2m so expect better over this trip. 11/2.

Small token bet on BAD who would like this rerouted to Kempton but not enough evidence to say he definitely wont like it here so 16/1 is a fair deal.
