Another of which is potentially sending Vision Des Flos to the Champion Hurdle instead of the Coral Cup. One mans brainwave is another mans brainfart apparently

"We've had this brainwave this week that we might run him in the cross-country chase," said Tizzard.

"It seemed a good prep race for the National for one of the others (winner Tiger Roll) last year!

"We ran him at Cheltenham the last two or three years - and although he hasn't won, he has done quite well, and it has been a good prep for Aintree.

"He is in the Ultima, but he will be put in the cross country. We will school him, but I just think he will have a better chance of winning the cross-country than he would the Ultima.

"Then we will run him in the Grand National. He is in the Topham - but if he gets in, he will go for the National."

Ran quite well at Cheltenham Colin?

4th of 6 - Beaten 26L

9th of 24 - Beaten 12L
6th of 14 - Beaten 29L

Shameful that he's best price 14/1. Shameful.

Don Poli is an odd entry

[Muswell]

I suppose if you are going to the national not the worst idea

[Humble Pie]

Thanks Boopa

Really think Tizzie is in a world by himself :-)

I'd probably weep if Don Poli won this race without me being on him

[Muswell]

Same I will have to back

[Hurricane fly]

Should have backed him when I requested him 4-5 months ago!

[Shuffdog]

Anybody heard any news about tiger? Strange things happening on betfair exchange the last couple of days!

Without NRNB?

Too risky especially as it's never been mentioned still. Just an entry?

I've not heard him say it

[Hurricane fly]

I’ve been pretty convinced if the Don comes to Cheltenham this year it will be for this, with an eye to the GN.

I’ve not put my money where my mouth is yet but a free bet or 2 at 14s wouldn’t be the worst thing I’ve used them on

Be some shout! I wouldn't think he's the type but they've tripped hunting with him etc so I suppose it's more on the radar than I've considered.

You going to start a thread for the 'main' Yankee soon HF?

[Hurricane fly]

Yes was just thinking that it’s time to get the discussion going now that the weights are out

[Vautour]

Just seen that the Tiger was last matched at 3.5 on Betfair and there is no money for backing him. As only 22k has been bet on the race probably not anything but bad thoughts have started to go through my head...my week would be destroyed
