Gl

Backed long dog in the AB hurdle, has a touch of class and connections seem hopeful he will stay the trip.

Djakadam for the Gold Cup, if he stands up he should go very close.

Dandridge for the Grand Annual. Seems like the strong traveling sort that can do well in this race. Moore/Russell won this 8 years ago and Russell is an unbelievable rider around there.

As you can see above I think the Irish wi have a very good day today. I'm no more interested in the prestbury cup than the next man but I think Ireland will get more winners than Britain today so have backed Ireland to win it @ 11/8.

Good luck all.

130 lets dance w/p

I'm laying Ivanovich Gorbatov. I think I have Footpad, Connetable, Zubayr and Let's Dance all running for me!

massive gamble on the don , rfc on the dons for a saver

take my hat off to the lads who stuck with obriens horse won well..i couldnt have it and its cost me plenty..

Well done Ivanovich backers, the flat class shone through - bad start for the day.

Ignoring form you might have backed this , but after being beaten into fourth behind Footpad last time out , how could you fancy this one ?  Well done to anyone who backed it , but...

I was on the 2nd @ 16/1 She ran a cracker , disgraceful what that shower get away with .

Wudnt say they done anything wrong with Ivan at all ground

Wish the horsey sect would stop saying "listen" when being interviewed ffs

Was thinking out loud re Rathpatrick OLC , couldn't get out of his own way at Thurles ,travelled likethe winner for most of the way yesterday,

Pa,
Shantou, Cossack, Nina, Squouateur and Tony's Velvet Maker to come

gutted for barters hill..but thats the way he runs, very surprised at the result..some training performance, made a little bit as i layed up for review for a place..how they run him on that ground is beyond me..lovely horse but needs it soft heavy..the somme..

Shame to see Long Dog go like that.

The only horse I'm 100% confident won't be winning the gold cup is cue card, has had a hard season and don't think he'll stay, has had his day no way he's at his peak at 10 years of age, massive lay.

What a horse the DON is. Delighted for this horse ,have followed him for years and time after time he's done the business for me...

Irish 123 in Gold Cup .  Has that happened recently ?   Djakadam looked likely at one stage , why did he drift out to 6.94 SP ?  Presumably he was the reason Vatour ran in the Ryanair .

No doubt in my mind Cue Card would have p1ssed that if he stayed on his feet

And Vautour would have laughed at them all if they ran him in this

Cue Card would have folded before the last imo . Don PROVED he is a TRUE stayer, he went away from Jackadam as if he were standing still , and would no doubt have done the same to Cue. If you watch the KG you'll see that before he fell he had gone BY Cue jumping the 2nd last .

100% correct wonks , nina was also brilliant on on the fringe from top of the hill a half hour later, great memories for years to come p g !
