Yes the more I look at it the more I think Sublimity has to be the play at 12/1. He has loads of speec and if it turns into a 4f sprint then it could well be him that quickens up best
WoA needs to be fresher than he will be tomorrow to be at this best imo. If he was going to be a force this season I think he would have shown us by now. Past it I reckon
People seem to forget that Aintree well over watered this year, and by my recollection Solwhit won on the first day when it was at its worst.
He won on the Saturday – the third day
Mam Ratagan E/W @ 16/1 + TBP @ 4/1 (Bet365) in the next at Newbury. Consistent sort with a feather weight here. May lack the class to win but can definitely place
2nd – very happy with that

Don’t know why you’re being so shirty – you’re perfectly entitled to think Punjabi is a better horse than Binocular just as I am entitled to think the opposite. As it happens I’m not even a Binocular ‘fan’ as such – I laid him in the CH and I am firmly in the Solwhit camp for the CH this season.
Binocular’s thrashing of Celestial Halo at Ascot last season is far superior form to the Champion Hurdle imo. Winning at Cheltenham in March doesn’t make a horse the best just as Burnley beating Man Utd doesn’t make them a better team. Punjabi was better than Binocular on the day in March but I very much doubt he is a ‘better’ horse
The ground wasn’t that slow today. RT finished only 5 secs outside standard. Or maybe he is just exceptionally fast!
A wonderful debut performance from Riverside Theatre at Newbury this afternoon. Another Arkle contender?
I know we keep saying it but what a race this is going to be!
Thought RT looked very good today and the time looks extremely smart. Definite contender
Brennan apparently thinks IC will get the GC distance doing handstands and he looks a transformed horse already this season – and he wasn’t bad in March either!
10/1 won’t be around forever
, although going right-handed in the King George, if they choose there as his pre-Chelts run, won’t be ideal given his earlier problems. Ryanair would be backup it seems.
I agree – he’ll be 16/1 after Kempton
Might back Barbers Shop before the Hennessy
He and Chapoturgeon are the 2 I want on my side
OK this is how I plan to play the race
Denman WIN @ 7/1 (antepost)
State of Play WIN @ 20/1 (antepost)Killyglen WIN @ 8/1
Gone to Lunch TBP @ 3/1+
New Alco, small WIN but mostly TBP @ a big priceKeep changing my mind but overall I think Killyglen is the likeliest winner but Denman will go close.
I’m fundamentally a ratings/weights man but from time to time you get horses that are so well suited by the particular demands of a particular race that to some extent handicapping is not all that relevant and no matter what the weights etc. that horse will be mighty hard to beat. I think that Denman combined with 3m2.5f on soft ground at Newbury is one such example. The Hennessy suits Denman down to the ground. It’s quite simply
his
race
Fair judgement imo
Manage your money properly and you’ll get no charges. Problem solved.
