Very interesting watching Paul Nicholls betfair twitter...

Says Silviniaco Conti likely to run in the Reynoldstown then skip Cheltenham in favour of Aintree...

Well that would be a serious horse to miss the RSA for me...

Fair play to Nicholls though he did say all season that the horse may miss the race...

I can preempt Jonjo's for you.
1. All his horses are in "grand old forrrrm".
2. They haven't decided a single horse's target yet, with the exception of Synchronised who will run in the Gold Cup, probably.
3. Nothing they have is particularly well handicapped as they are not a gambling stable

That should cover most questions, but feel free to send them in anyway :)

He wouldn't have dared take a swing at old Pipey, I'd have given him a forehand smash on the top of his head with Chester's table tennis bat. His hair's never recovered from the one I gave him when he stun-gunned Valiramix. Still forgive and forget. Turnip-faced twatte.
