        RR: "Pont Alexandre won't run, he will go RSA or 4 miler. I like Garde La Victoire"

        That was what Hattie Fuller tweeted from the preview

          The preview tweets are great but ripe for mischief.

          Maybe they can get Patrick on Native River

                We are leaning towards the RSA, although he is also in the JLT and World Hurdle."We are looking at going that way. Nobody has told me anything has changed but that is not for me to decide.

                "He is a lovely, sensible horse that is very straightforward and I am lucky to have him.

                "If he turns up there the same way he did for the World Hurdle he will take some beating."

                  Barry favours two and a half and Jonjo three ?

                  Both are owned by JP McManus, who said: "They (O'Neill and Geraghty) seem to be pleased. I'd say the RSA is the most likely race, but you don't know what the ground will be like.

                  "He's in every race and he's there for a reason. I'd say he'll be better on better ground and on his day he's a good horse."

                  Geraghty said: "He jumped nicely and felt well, it was a nice piece of work. Ground will dictate where he goes, there's no rush.

                  "He's done all his winning over two and a half miles bar one race. He's versatile and I'd be happy whatever race he is in."

                  O'Neill said: "I'm happy, we just wanted to do this. He's a better horse on better ground, we know that.

                  "He's my best chance of the Festival, without a doubt. We are leaning towards the RSA, although he is also in the JLT and World Hurdle.

                  "We are looking at going that way. Nobody has told me anything has changed, but that is not for me to decide. We will see what's what, but in every conversation we've had I imagine that is the way he is going.

                  "He is a lovely, sensible horse that is very straightforward and I am lucky to have him. If he turns up there the same way he did for the World Hurdle he will take some beating."

                      Sorry! my mistake. Strange that i only added the bottom of the report… The festival hasn't started yet and i'm already burnt out lol

                      Anyway! I hope it's the RSA for MoT.

                        Funny how they all end up with slightly diff tweets, when they're at the same previews

                        Although, if you don't do it very often, transcribing via ear can be quite testing, when they're rattling along.

                          True that, I only believe something if it's come from a group/company rather than an individual, if you ever go to one the first hour is great then you start hitting pints 5,6,7 and you start hearing/interpreting things differently !

                            Shaneshill goes here,,,,


                            also

                            Timeform


                            RSA Chase: NO MORE HEROES leads the way on account of his Fairyhouse win in November but has not stamped overall authority on this race, and neither has MORE OF THAT (144 timefigure). Several others, including OUTLANDER and BLAKLION (149 timefigure), have useful times backed up by solid sectionals. Advice: win lay both No More Heroes and More of That.

                              What makes you think shaneshill goes here, as far as i was aware he was going for the JLT with black Hercules looking likely to run here

                                They've switched them gjt. it's almost certain that Black Hercules runs in JLT, Shaneshill has left in the Arkle and 4 miler but think they are going RSA
