recession proof loves the rain, has a crack irish claimer on board,thrown in at the weights and is fit and fancied.drawn 3.

bbc news forecasting LOTS of rain for East Anglia

Bloody weather Was planning on having a gd few £££ ew on Domination.
Did not want 2 see the rain coming for him
Think he would have went very close on gd fast ground.

Like the Arc I am not sure the Ces draw will be that significant given that, in my opinion, a lot of dross was and is drawn low in the respective races. Wouldn`t be surprised to see the race develop up the middle of the track.Would still give Tiger Cliff,Big Easy,Seaside Sizzler and Lieutenant Miller good chances.

you don't think the stables other runner has a better chance pmt?

clearly you don't know the stats and this is not a NH race

Feel a little boring looking at the comments but with Recession Proof and Chiberta King myself. Slightly concerned that the young lad will do too much on CK early to hold a position from stall 1 however

You can tie yourself in knots attempting to analyse the effects of the draw in this or any other flat race. The draw  doesnt matter in this race. I used to think so but really, it doesnt. King Revo was drawn in 36 when only finding the mighty sergeant cecil one too good back in 2005. never can tell was similarly drawn when winning the other year. Landing Light was drawn low when he won but they came down the other side of the course so in essence he was drawn high. Its nonsense!! Which is why if the ground doesnt deteriorate as badly as some think then the 16-1 that Leiutenant Millar has gone out to could look very big this time tomorrow. I'll take him and Johnny Delta e/w at 80-1.

With more rain forecast it could be soft ground by racetime.
If so, Pallasator would be of interest.

I really don't see the angle with chiberta king miracle stuff for me...horse cannot win off this mark

pallasator is of interest but he does tend to idle and as much as i like him he cannot be bet with confidence at the trip...a great plot this...i really don't care the ground is going against domination as think he can handle this for one race...i like him a lot...he is well in

if the french horse wins it will be the equal miracle of chiberta king and he has his ground...pure heroine for me and i will give up if either of these win... on an equal note will be recession proof who has been flogged down the years...and has nothing left

anyway a brutal affair and as a few know i am brutal but honest...

love the ces and a rag with a chance is swinging hawk even though he is in the car park...

Not having a go as I'm laying off betting (been 5 weeks now) but will be hoping Recession Proof wins for pmt

GL everyone.

Little bit of W&PL on Pallasator & Domination. GD luck all.

insane result

backed Lieutenant Miller & Chilberta, good runs for the money

really weird , wonder how much got matched at huge prices?

Someone tipped that winner on twitter.

Chiberta ran well.

yes indeed, can't wait for the jumps! I am a jumps man budd

but I have also had a fantastic flat season punting wise so I will miss it from that aspect

Hope that blew the draw angle out of the water for good. If a horse can give that much ground away and still win then really, what does a few lengths gained on an inside draw matter. Looked at Scatter Dice yesterday morning after seeing S de Sousa booked (2-2 on the horse and 4-19 for Johnston on 4yp+ this year but couldnt even see a first tiem visor working - wrong!)
