    Haha, comments like that are helping my nerves

    I feel like I've got 2000 pts on FO today

      Would be huge for my ante post book if he wins also, everything else would slot into place. I’ve no worries that he’s got the pace for the shorter trip, my only worries are his jumping. If he’s not looking far better jumping at a quicker pace in the early stages of the race then I fancy North Hill Harvey as the danger

        finians will sit close to the pace, but how far out will he be ridden?. Don't forget he dosent have an immediate change of gear.
        By the time robbie power cajoles him and he clicks into gear. Has the bird already flown?
        I really hope they all stay on there feet.

          He’ll have to wind him up early enough that’s for sure. Think there’s the potential that a couple up front might go off too quick and cut each other’s throats, most like to race prominently. I’m actually of the opinion that Finian’s needs to win this fairly comfortably to feel confident about the Arkle. Footpad and Petit Mouchoir in particular I think will be tougher nuts to crack than his opposition today. I’ve got plenty on him for the JLT also so part of me would prefer to see him beaten today and staying on than making hard work of it, winning a length or two, and then being definitely aimed at what would be a tougher race for me in the Arkle

          • Power SUCH a massive plus today. Good confident start. What a ride!

            • Awesome ride. He's far superior in the saddle to Cooper at the moment

                Totally concur with that.

                  I don't even dislike Cooper really but it'd be great if Power gets a tune out of FO today. Tizzard wouldn't mind making the big decision

                  • Looks like Tizzard has already made his decision. Doesn't Cooper normally get the rides in England??

                    • I quite like Cooper but he is riding with no confidence at the moment.

                      The nerves are kicking in! Like Scooby said earlier, let's hope they all make it round and come back safe, whatever the result.

                        Cooper not over his shoulder injury is the official line....

                        • Showed to be the awful decision many of us thought it would be. FO does not have the pace for this.
                          That said he'll not even win a JLT is that's truly how slow he is.

                          Fair play to SR

                            • He won't be winning any race at Cheltenham in that showing. Brilliant by the winner.

                              I'll let you lads try and work out that race. Sceau Royal electric there

                              • Daryl will have a good line between Sceau and Footpad now... interesting to see what he says, no chance FO goes for arkle now, RSA even haha?
