I think that this could be the upset of the meeting. I can see Barry G tracking Ruby after the last and picking him off close home. Anyone agree

Take nothing away from BB hes a worthy champ but hes beaten the same ole same ole for last few years. Grand crus put it up to him last year and OW is far better horse.If he stays he"ll beat him

I can see it jimq - I do not know if he is good enough, but I can see this being attempted. Trainer always said he regretted not having te chance to do just this ('sitting on his tail') and trying to pick him off after the last with Punchestowns, quickening away. Give Big Bucks a target and he will beat you. I would try and wait as long as possible and quicken past him. Not easy and difficult to envisage a horse being good enough but I suspect this will be the plan.

E/W bet of the decade for me.

Can't have this lad as an each way bet, back to lay maybe. We know he is at least the second best horse in the race but as yet he is an unproven stayer. If he doesn't stay well enough to win he might not stay well enough to place.
