Irish National/Some Target

I like Sunnyhillboy in this. I know he has to prove his stamina but I've always felt he runs like a stayer and he is by Old Vic.

I know McCoy has gone for another McManus horse in this but I think this is the one the money will come for.

He'll like the ground and will be pretty fresh.

Always felt there is a big race in this horse.

Quite like both of the above mentioned, but my bet is SADDLERS STORM e/w at 33/1 with SJ. The horse has won 3 times over 3m+, including 2 at Fairyhouse. He needs a trip and was favourite for this race last year. Gets in at the bottom of the weights and although disappointing at Cheltenham he was never really in the race so shouldn't be finished for the year. This has to have been the target. With many in the field unproven over 3m he is massive value imo, and is only 16/1 with one firm.

Yep im on Saddlers Storm again at 33-1, as said he was favourite for this race last year and gets in off bottom weight. I was all over him for the Kim Muir and he ran a shocker but he never got into any sort of rhythm early on and jumped shockingly. Before Cheltenham i thought he ran a promising race over hurdles over 2m 2f which is way too short for him. Course and trip look absolutely fine and im hoping for a big showing, i think he is massive value.

Saddlers Storm was still going well when he fell in this last year. He then ran in a grade 1 Novice Chase at Punchestown when he came last.

It is interesting they have booked Graham Lee to ride him. However, I'd be worried the ground would be too fast for him.

The other one I'd be interested in is last year's 3rd - Whatuthink. He ran well last year on bottomless ground but by Presenting he should be fine on the likely good going. His 3rd last time in a grade 2 was an eye catching run. At 20s with Billys I think he's a decent price and I'm having a saver on him.

The horse I've backed( ante -post )is one of the 3 resrves. If it doesn't run - do I get my stake back?

You certainly do Facts.

thank you

Mullins is sh.t in this and are normally a false price

is the favourite likely to get in ?

needs two to come out !Is 12noon the deadline ?

1.35 is the deadline according to the RP. You can be almost certain that Backstage will be a NR if something else is taken out.

There is a horse running in this that has won over 1,000,000 in prize money. Travelled over from a top stable only horse from that stable. and you can get 50/1 worth a punt.

Cryptic?

Or Noir De Somoza

Yes raced against horses like Rubi ball fav for the French Gold Cup and has betean Long Run. Somoza about 10 lengths behind Rubi Ball how near would the rest of these be. Differnt going, diffrent fences and distance hence 50/1 but still worth a punt.

Winner was very impressive - only 6 years old!
