What A Friend won't.

Nacarat very likely to run.

I like the look of Crescent Island. He was developing into a very nice chaser before his injury a couple of seasons back. Ran very well in the Jewson.
He won easy on his comeback earlier this month, just worried about the dreaded bounce.
Interesting stat for this race is that 8 out of 10 won their last race. Didn't work last year though!

Agreed, along with the likes of madison du berlais and breddsbreeze who just had a run this weekend.

80% is quite a large amount of last time out winners.

I am not sure that stat will put me off backing something up my sleeve first thing monday morning!

Connections will no doubt be making announcments as the week goes on.

I am hoping for news now incase i waste my cash though, and before the price goes!

Mark Howard has said that Quinze definitely runs for Hobbs and is his tip. Form and course form solid and should have improvement in him, which he'll need to have.

Weird Al will run, needs a run for Cheltenham, if fully tuned up after his injury in the Hennessey and the breathing op which will have helped he will be a massive threat at 12/1

Weird al was the one i was after.

Its been taken out of the betfair betting for it sadly!

BAKBENSHER won with lots in hand at Exeter last time.
At double figures he looks good value

Hey Big Spender for me...

took 7's for NACARAT, he'l do for me.

Does Hey Big Spender run? Was said to be missing the gig a few days ago.

Hey big spender is still on the racecard

Joe Tizzard's blog stated Hey Big Spender was a possible runner, whereas Mount Oscar was a definite. I hope Spender runs... huge chance in a less than fantastic renewal.

Will Northern Alliance get in. If so, big chance I think

I've found a unlucky horse this season with a very low weight!

door boy ENGLANDBARNES1?

The secrets out!
