December chase chelt on sat

Big Ghizao fan but his jumpin drives me fckin bananas - have him backed AP for the Champion Chase (great bet that was!!)

Beat Captain Chris easily last season - should have beat Finians Rainbow at Aintree bar a mistake - very lackluster seasonal debut in a race PN siad he was very fit for has me worried about him

I thought Great Endeavour ran a cracker at Newbury just didn't get home.He is now back to the c+d of his paddy power win but this is his third run in competitive handicaps in a month.

Quel Esprit, assuming he runs and jumps all the fences this time!

Who rides Quel esprit?

Great Endeavour won't run, TM switches to Ghizao, and Ruby wins on Quel Esprit!

Now to see if this will actually happen

Andy Stewart will have Ruby riding even if ge doesn't run

IS IT POSSIBLE ANDY STEWART HAS CHOICE WHO RIDES GHIZAO THIS SEASON

Ghizao improved massively from his first run last season upwards of a stone so no reason to think he can't go and do the same, stable and jockey (Ruby once described him as the next Well Chief) have rated this horse as one of their best right from the off, if he improves and jumps then he could be upwards of 10lbs well in - look at his form with Captain Chris last year when giving weight and a thumping beating, CC is now rated 164 and Ghizao races off 154 here.  Ruby has been booked for the ride for the past 10 days, Andy Stewart has put a £250 charity bet on Ghizao just the other day so no way this isn't the number one horse for connections.

QE a NR

any idea why hes a non runner bjg

Interesting to see what Don tips up tonight on Newstalk.

Mullins is killing me antepost and it is only December

I will never back a Willie Mullins horse or Paul Nolan horse AP

I can only assume he was never an intended runner huddys as everythin looked in his favour

Soapp..''Donn is on a hat trick after 2 wins in last 2 weekends. To further your riches: Roudoudou Ville each-way in Spinal Research Gold Cup, Cheltenham, Saturday; Rubi Light to win John Durkan Chase, Punchestown, Sunday.''- Off The Ball.

Huddys, I also backed him Ghizao a few times last season and he let me down. His jumping has been his downfall, not sure would he have won at Cheltenham but he really messed up at Aintree where I thought he would have won. He was once again disappointing on his seasonal reappearance last month at Exeter. He owes punters money and its Saturday or never for him.

I'd go for Medermit! With second preference for Divers.

Hope he hasnt cursed Roudoudou Ville on at big prices.

Roudoudou Ville bit unlucky?

Why unlucky??Didn't get home -found out by the hill.touched an in running low of 1.16

Jockey lost iron allegedly when blundering, also hit front too far out, anyway ran a cracker!!
