Joe Tizzard : reported that Cue Card had galloped at Wincanton earlier in the day and was brilliant.... advised all present to take out a 2nd mortgage and whack it all on..... The more you put on the more you get back......!!
Paul Nicholls : Al Ferof would run well but was only running for 2nd place... He advised that Ruby thought that Cue Card was impossible to beat.
Tom Scu & Tanya Stevenson : Cue Card could not be opposed and would win despite bookies without A/P liabilities trying to get him beat on the day
Plenty of banter between Tom Scu and Nicholls regarding World Hurdle.... It was quite apparent that Nicholls thought that Big Bucks was the best he had ever had him and he would win.... The Panel apart from Scu concurred.....
Nicholls very bullish about 1833 running a very big race ( not ground dependant )... and bid me us farewell with the words " get on 1833 lads "
Remarkable that Nicholls is prepared to run Al Ferof in the Supreme against a horse he thinks is unbeatable, rather than in the Neptune which seems a better option for the horse anyway.

Many thanks for that Wess. Music to my ears as a Cue Card punter
I have cut & pasted it onto the thread on the Irish Forum where all preview evenings are listed.
