Is he an intended runner? I'm not quite seeing why he is such a big price...130 odd on here, he's a touch of class, he has any amount of improvement in him over this trip, his 2 really good runs over an extended trip and was travelling very well when unseating at warwick a race he was near favourite in and last time in Ireland he was well beat but was never really put in the race and was allowed to come home in his own time he has the right trainer for the race and has no weight. Mullins said he had been "very pleased" with Vesper Bell's last bit of work and described him as "an out-and-out stayer"..
Of course we don't know if he wants it heavy but the sire has a couple of high profile horses that need it good ground so there's room for optimism, he may be a bit young of course and there's no getting away from his first fence mishap in the becher but at the whopping big price there's worse e/w shots in there.

Willie just talked him up and the jockey, got the last of the 130 on betfair as he was speaking.

Think hes an interesting runner.

yep Im on as well. Definitely interesting and looks a bit of a plot horse.
plot horse! Really? this season he has: fallen/Unseated Rider/finished 9th, your suggesting this was planned?
Plot in the sense that everything has been geared to getting him here today on the lowest possible mark. Seasonal outing at Aintree to test the fences... Then a run stepped up to nearly 4m to test the stamina.... Then a nice little run to put him spot on, in a race he had no chance.
Fell at 1st at Aintree !! So that told connections - what ?
That wasn't exactly in the plan was it? I'm talking about what they planned for the season.
I guess cause he UR in the Warwick race ( to test his stamina), that wasn't in the plan either ?
Think the point is that he has been campaigned to run his race today.
The plan has not been without its mishaps,but its all about today.
Hes normally a fair jumper and I don't wee stamina being a major issue.

Exactly budd. Don't think the point was this that hard to understand.
