I'm off to Prestbury Park tomorrow

to hendo what race for hargam ,county or coral cup  thanks

Thanks Mr E, can you ask Neil Mulholland if Indian Stream is still on target for the Mares?
Cheers

Foyleswar has already asked my question!

Would be interested to hear what Greatrex has to say about Western Ryder too mate. Will only be 6lb's better off with Daphne du Clos if she runs and does he think that will be enough!

A lot being made of the fact he gave her 21lb last time, but will still have to give her 16lb in the big one.

CCM

Greatrex was on "on the line" on Monday and said that WR he has come on for the Newbury run and thinks he goes there with a leading chance. Watch it from the  1 hour 55 mins mark if you want to listen to all he says...very bullish about CH incidentally.

Hello Mr Eboue

Any chance you could keep us updated on the weather situation, as previous years??
Be very helpful and much appreciated if you could.

On the subject....could you ask NTD about Bristol De Mai's chances?

....and why he has been lukewarm about Blaklion at his favourite course and (likely) favourite ground and with winning Festival form?

Any chance you could put to Mullholland Shantou Villages target and an update on his wellbeing?

Cheers

Cheers Duffy

Greatrex seemed confident of a big run from Western Ryder. Obviously hard to quantify the form of many runners but I got the feeling he'll be disappointed if he doesn't make the frame.

Henderson said Hargam is likely to go County Hurdle. I didn't sense that much confidence to be honest.

I'm sorry in regard of Indian Stream - forgot to ask Mulholland.


Weather wise it's been mostly dry today with the odd spot of light drizzle.

Unsurprisingly Jonjo O'Neill said absolutely nothing of value.

You didn't happen to ask Nicky for Camilla's phone number by ask chance Mr Eboue ??

Brill, cheers Mr E. Makes me feel even more about a Hargam then... JP won't want anything revealing just yet!

thats just what i was thinking ccm

I've had a sniff on Hargam earlier today for both CC and CH at 33. His mark is dangerously low and there is a lot juice in the price at the moment with NRNB.

Just back from a morning with Nigel Twiston-Davies who says Foxtail Hill is his best chance of a winner. Some serious confidence behind that one.

He expects Ballyandy to run a big race, not too concerned with the Irish.

Wholestone - 'Has gone a bit under the radar. The Tizzard horse (West Approach) is good but we've beaten him twice,"

He also said Bristol de Man wasn't right last time out.

Nice one Mr E. In the Novice Handicap Chase or the Plate? Betting suggests its the former, but he will go off near enough top weight in that race.

The 2m4f Novice handicap on day one pal.

I forgot to mention - When Blaklion went up the gallops NTD said: "There's the National winner. No need to run the race, we know he'll win."

Obviously a joke but he was incredibly complimentary towards his chances at Aintree.

does he say ballyandy goes for supreme mr eboue?

Yes harry he's going Supreme.

ok thx eboue...i don't get all this stuff about the neptune

Cheers Mr E.

Im a big Foxtail Hill fan, the novice handicap on the first day usually only has a few lbs between top and bottom weights so its all about getting in the race with a mark near to 145.

IS - not sure 145 helps mate, its a 0-140 Handicap. But you are right the weights are very compressed 136-140 last year.

Love the way Twiston-Davies campaigns his horses, but dear God every one of his geese are swans if you listen to him

I thought The New One was supposed to pi$$ up in the Champion Hurdle too - oh well, if not this year then there's always next!

When TNO has finally departed this mortal coil NTD will still enter for the CH each year

My mistake its a 140 handicap.
