Also gives Velvet Maker huge chance in Grand Annual.  Feels he is the 2nd best 2 Mile Novice in Ireland and that could be good enough to win

If this is the same SS who rides as a conditional, he won't be riding in this race!

Is MP Fogarty still an Amateur? Think he's ridden for connections before.

He confirmed Shortall rides Tully East for him in Martin Pipe - he didn't say who was riding Ballychorus for NH Chase but I assumed Shortall - mea culpa

Noble Endeavor wins this rock solid hurdle form and chase form, hopefully more to come on at 12s.
Also stable have good record in race.

Thought Measureofmydreams beat him quite easily last time and is unexposed. Fancy him to beat him again myself.

Yes he did CCM but not sure if coming over? If confirmed will be having saver on.
By:

Hope he is mate as have backed him! The fact he's generally 16-1 but 10-1 with Paddy suggests he is.

With Rule the World running today, that might clear the path for Roi de Francs in this.  Can't see them turning Rule the World round twice in 10 days, and with NMH in the RSA, Giggi would surely put Roi de Francs in this?

I think he is a genuine graded performer, who burst the Pont Alexandre bubble.  He beat Pont by 1.5lengths, but Outlander only beat Pont by 4, and that was when Pont made an absolute mess of the last, and Outlander is second fav for the Grade 1 JLT.

He's also had Noble Endeavour behind him this year too.  He'd be the one for me in this if they let him take his chance.

Been wrong before, but how Minella Rocco is favourite for this I don't know; just can't work that one out.

Measureofmydreams and southfield royale for me.
Only a guess but think patrick will be measureofmydreams.

Already have Native River but added Measureofmydreams. Tempted by 16s but taken 12s NRNB. Will surely be single figures if turns up

Iv heard bonny kate goes for this race to be ridden by jonathon moore.
Don't know much about the jockey, but I quite like the horse, she's very genuine and gets the trip.  She might not be as highly rated as a couple of others but she's not without a chance. Put a few quid on at 140.0 and 120.0 on here and the price is still available.

Read on Twitter that RDF will join NMH and go to the RSA.

Moore is attached to Noel Meade's stable and rode the winner of the Leinster National today for Jim Dreaper

According to Meade today on ATR Bonny Kate not going.

Haven't seen that as iv been out. But if that's what mead himself  said,  it must be the truth. Only had a few quid on anyway.

Pont Alexandre left in - anyone know if Patrick will ride? Had heard Ricci had said he was going RSA but numbers on here indicate 4 miler.

Anyone know who's likely to be on Native River? Was hoping for Nina after DOC jumped off but that doesn't sound possible now.
By:

Mr M Legg on Native River.

Jockey booking doesnt fill one with confidence.
By:

When: 10 Mar 16 20:37
really? Sportinglife shows Mr M Legg with 7 winners from last 50 rides and +£12 level stakes, can't say I watch many amateur races but that looks like a decent record to me
By:

When: 10 Mar 16 20:43
He's not that experienced but has ridden plenty for Tizzard and Harry Fry, to whose yard I believe he is attached. Think he's had a few spins round Cheltenham in the past couple of years too. I wouldn't be pessimistic on the jockey front if the horse is good enough.
By:

Dangerous when it's a Gigginstown horse, but ever more optimistic re Measureofmydreams. Form really stacks up against Noble Endeavour and Roi des Francs who they believe good enough for RSA. Great value imo

Had a good look at this today, appreciate the conditions of the race now favour the alleged classier types but RdF does n't look like he's going to run, Noble Endeavour looks a doubtful stayer and Minella Rocco has jumping issues.

The one that's been overlooked by the market for me is Vieux Lion Rouge - certainly in terms of his profile and rating, ran well at Ascot last time behind a horse with a massive engine, his course form would n't bear much scrutiny but he's been pretty highly tried and was still going OK when unseating behind Aachen in that race where the latter was given too much rope.

Pedigree suggests stamina should n't be an issue and his granddad has two festival winners in L'Antartique and Fondmort.

33s available and generally 25s NRNB or 70 on here just too big so I'm in.

Quite like Ballychorus too but will hold fire for now.

With rdf being confirmed rsa. Looks like Patricks got the choice of the 3 mullins runners,
Sambremont
Pleasent company who is an intended runner at 120.0
And measureofmydreams.
Would be shocked if he dosent choose the latter.

what about Pont Alexandre??

Vicenzo looks way overpriced to me...top rated have excellent record in race and looks as though it will stay.

Rich ricci and joe chambers have said twice in last week pont goes rsa.
By:

When: 11 Mar 16 00:31
Pont still shows signs that he remains classy with the way he goes through his races but he needs to contest a race that provides the least chance of him having to find something off of the bridal, as he finds little, with NMH and MOT in the RSA, that's a non-starter, his only chance would be the 4 miler and hope he simply outclasses them.
