Evening steeple, I would love to see Kyber go for the world hurdle but think it may be next season. Like overturn but not the other 2.

By the way Im going to look at a place tomo for the preview from memory the room is perfect with s stage and raised seeting but its in blantyre. Any thoughts?

Well I thought Overturn ran a great race yesterday; he'll come of from that and for better ground, and Cheltenham suits front-runners surprisingly well.

I believe Sizing might have a fair chance in the Gold Cup (backed him for that) but connections are undecided so I'll stick him in here just in case.

KK is potentially the value of the decade EW at 20s NRNB for the WH.  I'm confodent he wants a proper trip and is one of those rare opponents whose late and sustained turn of foot could scythe down BB before that one can respond.  Brennan is the very man for the job.  I'd considered putting him up standalone but am not completely convinced yet about his attitude, despite evidence that he's now thoroughly honest.

TFR reportedly goes for the Argento and, given KS performance yesterday, and Denman's wear and tear, if TFR wins the Argento, his trainer will be sorely tempted to go for the big one though IC will take some beating if fully recovered from injury.

Anyway, those are my excuses, in advance!

I agree 100% with you regarding Kyber wanting a trip Ive been convinced of that since his aintree run last season, that said I think conections will look at the world hurdle and the fact that he has yet to try 3miles and decide he would be better saving that race for next season. He will then go into the race with form over the distance but also most probably no Big Bucks to beat.
