    Hold your Stone of Folca bets, he must have fast ground BUT I totally agree given good fast ground he will go very close indeed, il know more when I walk across the track :-)

    My 2 outsiders are Taajub and humidor

    yeah your right gdc1 i really fancy stone of folca (as much as you can fancy a horse in a 5 forlong 20 ruuner sprint) but he needs the ground as firm as pos had a wee nible at 12/1 but wont go again until the day if he runs

    being at navan racecourse with my father and my brother my dad asked us to pick a horse each in the last race and mine won i was delighted i probably picked a load of losers in the other races as well but you never remember them :)

    although long run is not a horse i would really follow and i would agree that sam isnt as good as some of the pros but in fairness hes not a pro but i agree with mike the horse is very consistent hes always in the first three and gives his all long run probably doesnt get the credit he deserves and either does the jockey

    i agree that bobs worth is a very good horse but i would be weary of backing him for gold cup next yeari agree with elgransenor1 he had an extreamly hard race and so to did sir des champs they really gave it there all and time will tell if the race has left its mark

    i have had a good look at this race the one ive been with all season for the race is sir des champs but one i have a niggling feeling will run well at a price is cape tribulation he likes cheltenham i have a feeling the race will suit him and i would imagine he will have dennis o regan on board who seems to get on well with him i know he needs to step up on bare form but he just looks to be improving and i can see him running a big

    think its a bit harsh to say he dosnt stay 3 miles when he was only just beaten in 2 grade 1s over the distance it would be fair to say that he is probably better over shorter where he can take it up futher from home and gallop them into submission but i dont think he didnt stay today he ran all the way to the line its not like he was going up and down on the spot or wandering all over the place sir des champs is a top class horse and he jumped alot better today and he will be bang there come the gold cup

    This latest comedy ( I use the word very loosely :roll: ) offering from Gervais has plumbed new depths – even for him.

    It’s not only embarrassing, it’s also in poor taste. Gervais is not a comedian – and he is certainly no actor. :?

    agree himself comedy and gervais are not two words i would use in the same sentence
