Galaxy Rock looks laid out for this and the ground has come right for him, he'll do for me.

MERIGO - keep the faith
 |

By:
I was hoping Merigo would be a bit stronger in the market even though it's still early. I remember when he won I backed him on the Wed at 20/1, he went to 25/1 on the Thurs. Opened up 16/1 and drifted to 18/1 so maybe they're not a gambling stable even though they do clearly lay the horse out for races at Ayr. He even drifted 3 points when he won LTO.

Was hoping for a tad softer ground too but doesn't look like it will come.

I actually believe Merigo is better on good ground, was the reason I backed him 2 years ago. He isn't that big and I think good ground helps his jumping. Have to respect Galaxy Rock with this step up in trip to suit, worth a smaller bet to go with Merigo and Portrait King. Harry The Viking looks an obvious danger on paper but I just think he has been handicapped to the hilt on what he has done so far and cannot bring myself to fancy him.

Personally feel that the ground poses no problem for Merigo whatsoever. Had the ground been soft it would have helped him from the view that conditions would be to the detriment of others.
With the ground on the good side tomorrow it will help Harry the viking and Galaxy Rock and one must take note of the fact that Jonjo is sending him up here instead of Sandown next weekend. Fruity o'rooney is another of interest but the fact that he shows pace over three miles gives me the impression he won't see the race out. This race has a strange way of seeing favoured runners disappointing with many pulling up (end of season fatigue perhaps). The course is not that unique so I feel this is an interesting observation. As much as I have been doubting my confident conviction in Merigo at 10/1, which is pretty natural for me, everything still points towards him. He is 6lbs clear of the field on Time form ratings! |

With ground as it is, have added Galaxy Rock - agree that is it significant going for this and not Whitbread

Yeah I only wanted it soft to thwart the likes of Galaxy Rock etc. I agree the ground will pose no problem to him. When I wrote about him not being as strong as I would have liked in market he was 10 to back. Of course as soon as I finished my post and looked again he was 9 to back.
Can't wait for the race to start now! |

I like the look of Galaxy Rock for 2moro in the Scots GN.
Think Hills are top price at 11s, al be giving them a bell 2moro morn at 8.30 sharp. He looks a sound ew bet. Best of luck at Ayr 2moro punters. |

Think anyone who backs Any Currency e/w has a fair chance of making money.
Like Abbeybraney at a nice price as well. Of the Favs,Merigo must run well,always does here,and Galaxy Rock and Harry TV look to me like the most likely winners. At the prices I shall stick with AC and Abbey. GL all. |

I can see why people like Merigo from a handicapping point of view but if I'm to back a horse I like to have seen it show some recent form. The 2nd and 3rd from his recent win have both failed to beat a single horse in their next run...he may win but he's not for me.
Of the fancied horses I like Galaxy Rock and Portrait King and at bigger prices Abbeybraney and Be There in Five have chances |

Job done !!
 Well done others who were as confident |

By:
Very well done Merigo backers,well tipped up here.
My pick portrait king didn,t get the rain,might have needed another year anyway. |
|
By:
Get in! Thanks to everyone that put me on to Merigo :)
|
|
By:
:D I was still confident even when he was down after the last. Just knew he would stay better. Timmy must have loat some ground switching from the inside to the outside all the time. Kept him safe though.

What a horse Merigo is! looked as if age was catching him up turning for home but I knew he would always charge late as he usually does at Ayr. Well done team Merigo!
|

My favourite ever horse due to him being my biggest winner! Only ever backed him twice, both times he won the National :-)

If we all agree on another horse one day - pile in !!

BIG pat on the back to all yee merigo backers
 ! I don't really deserve any honors as backed 6 but they way i do it, unfortunately Fruity was only 5th, and as mine were antepost only paid 4 but merigo made up for all that |

By:
Well done those who were sweet on Merigo. Alot of disappointing performances today from the other fancied horses, that's the danger at this time of year. After Sunnyhillyboy last week and a shocker in this race today I'm glad to see the back of the Nationals ! Hoping for better luck at Punchestown next week
