the eider chase

Will be a right old slog, do you remember this race a couple of years ago rat where only 3 finished the rest all been pulled up?, the winner and r/up virtually climbed over the last fence so exhausted were they, in fact the 3rd horse was actually pulled up before the jockey turned around and decided to jump the last and walk home to collect his share of the prize fund, that sticks in my memory because the horse in question was "Morgan Be" which completed the place part of my €1 ew L15, wasn't a fortune but there was a decent few quid off it.

I too was looking at Captain Americo, I agree looks like he has been laid out for the race and with only 10st to hump around looks a solid ew pick.

yeah it could turn out like that.i am fairly confident i will get the lay part up and will cover the punt.

Mr M Ennis who rides Big Occasion for David Pipe has won on 4 of his last 8 rides for the stable.When Big Occasion won His novice hurdle Pipe mentioned him as a future Welsh National Horse-he takes a serious step up in distance tomorrow and at a double figure price could be the one to get the Cheltenham expenses.

pipe also has the top weight which keeps big occasions weight well down.
it can be a tough race but i'll have a small interest in cool operator who has pretty solid form and a nice racing weight.

Happy memories of Portrait King last year.....remember pa lapsy ?
