Mild Weather Swin, im bloody freezing :|

its brass monkeys alright.... but ya get my drift, no rain

hoping CCB is longer than that....

11/8 SE
3/1 OS
9/2 CCB
5/1 SL

Sizing Europe 11/8
Captain Cee Bee 3/1
Osana 3/1
Sports Line 9/2

around 110%

Whatuthink isn't out of it. Captain Cee Bee will be third-fav at best if Edward Harty's comments last week are anything to go by. Mouth-watering race.

If on the heavy side of soft id be with Sports Line but thats unlikely - i think one that could run ok at a bigger price is Fosters Cross, was goin very well(better than the winner imo) wen comin down at Cheltenham last time

cracking looking contest

Heavy ground won't help Sports Line against Sizing imv.
CCB the danger.
Serious race.

backed 3 horses for the arkle , ccb osana cousin vinny , 2 of them running at leop ,my main reason for backing cousin vinny is simply this, the arkle is sure to be run at a great gallop and with his high crusing speed can see vinny taking it up just after the last and flying up that hill .his run behind jessies at navan was superb , he jumped big and well and came there full of running only to find his lack of fitness telling on the run in .jessies and osana had a great buckle at the previous navan meeting so the form is there for all to see .now all i have to do is pray willie sends him for the race.

Cousin Vinny's cruising speed did him a whole lot of good in the supreme last year. A monster of an overrated beast.

Cousin Vinny doesnt travel well I believe, a sign of the horses class he still won the bumper. Sure every man and his dog knew he travelled over poorly last year.

Contradiction of the highest order. His class won him the bumper despite traveling poorly. I don't buy into rumors, just the formbook His supreme novice effort puts a major question mark next to his name. Talk of him taking it up before the last in the Arkle is laughable.

OK no bother. Wouldnt mind owning the horse myself.
