The top 3 in the weights may not run/ so they will go up 5 lb ish , so what is the maximum amount of runners?  First thoughts without going deep , is  that Forpaddytheplasterer on a racing weight!

tidal bay will run to keep the weight off PDB AND OHO

Not sure what Ted is moaning about? (will take a look later) but his Colbert station is a proper stayer and improving(not that well weighted on evidence but who knows?)

First thoughts without going deep , is  that Forpaddytheplasterer on a racing weight!

Probably is (if the race was run over 2 miles less than it's current distance)

EXPECT NOTHING ELSE FROM TED WALSH. Its a disease he has and cannot help himself, espicially when it comes to the english.
