Mullins were talking about here, he could still run, don't see any other race for him this season.

Just been looking at this and Telenor caught my eye but can't find him in the market on here?

Yea, definitely fits a few trends and less exposed than probably everything else. Not a few bookmakers lists either though. Has he been suplemented late or is he an unlikely runner...? Must be a reason for it I would have thought.

plat are you going?

Saddlers Storm has to have a great chance imo !Improving horse,strong in his races and a Course winner.

Ok I may go also - I am over for the Irish Open Poker starting Fri and if not out by Sat night then will prob stay till Mon (final table only day) so may go.

I earmarked SS for the 4miler @ Cheltenham, we won the weekend before, I then though Irish GN hoping to get a double figure price, sadly not.

Will wait till day to back him now will drift to 16 odd on the day :^0

yep, then you back him :^0

if it steams in you know its one for the bookies ;)

ok cheers

What is the safety limit for the race?

Ferdy Murphy said :-

Poker De Sivola will go for the Scottish National and Galant Nuit will go for the Bet365 at Sandown. If we got a bit of ease in the ground that would be ideal for him [Galant Nuit].

"The Scottish National would give us a little bit more time with Poker De Sivola. At the moment he's come out of the race great.

"He's gone up 11lb in the handicap so he's sure to get into the Scottish National, so we'll probably go that way."

keyboards on the wane,supposed to say gallant nuit was on my list

Paul Nolan believes Alpha Ridge could prove well handicapped when he lines up in the Powers Whiskey Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse on Easter Monday.

The eight-year-old is still a maiden over fences after four starts but has filled the runner-up spot three times, most notably chasing home the high-class Pandorama in the Drinmore Novice Chase at Fairyhouse in December.

Nolan feels a three-month break since his last run has left his charge in rude health and he is looking forward to seeing how his charge gets on next week.

"Alpha Ridge will hopefully take his chance. He needs a few to come out but I'm sure enough will to make sure he gets a run," said Nolan.

"It looks as though he has a lenient enough mark compared to his hurdle rating, but we've made a bit of a mess of things with him this season.

"We ran him over two miles and six furlongs on his first run at Galway and he was just pipped into second.

"Then we ran him in the Drinmore at Fairyhouse in very heavy ground and there were only four finishers as most of them either pulled-up or fell.

"He jumped poorly in Leopardstown over Christmas and we pulled him out fairly quickly then in Naas thinking he would win and he just got beaten again.

"When you're running in really heavy ground like that, maybe we should have had more of a plan rather than running him twice in a month, so we're just hoping that hasn't taken too much out of him.

"We've given him a nice break, freshened him up and he looks a picture at the moment.

"There is no point just going for a novice race at this stage of the season so we'll have a crack at the National and that will be his last run."

Nolan may have a second string to his National bow in talented mare Moskova, although she could run against her own sex at the meeting.

"Moskova also has the option of a mares race but we will certainly have to look at the National for her, especially if Notre Pere runs as she'd get in on a very nice weight," Nolan added.

just looked on Hills website with a view to back Alpha Ridge, but it doesn't let me even click on him !! ahhhh
