Still perplexed and none the wiser about Vena Amoris yesterday. Advised here in the morning at 7/1, the writing was clearly on the wall before the off, drifting to 25/1 SP. As for his run? 500/1 would have been a more reflective price. Unfortunately for Las Verglas Star, the weight he carried proved too much of a burdon, and after a sluggish start was never going to make up the ground. I had thought Nearest The Pin's withdrawal at Fairyhouse meant he was going to take up his entry at Aintree, but I see he's withdrawn there too, so he may have an injury.
