SUPREME
Gordon said that Abracadabras was in good form and that better ground would suit him. He said that the biggest danger was Asterion Forlonges. He also said that he would walk the course on Sunday morning and if he felt that the ground was on the heavy side, he would divert Envoi Allen to this race as he would not want to destroy him in a slog race in the Ballymore. Kate said that Robert Power was keen on Fiddlerontheroof and the softer the ground the better for him. Eddie said that Abracadabras was a better horse on good ground. Darragh liked Asterion Forlonges. They all felt that the Irish had the stronger hand here.

He liked Copperhead and Champ and stated that Battleoverdoyen was not a certain runner as it would depend how he travelled over whether he ran or not.

Thanks QZY and everyone else who has taken the time to report and write up the preview nights info. It’s a massive help and great to read. I haven’t attended any previews personally and I’m starting to get bored of the same recycled statements and comments as the same horses and views are coming up at every preview so either all the trainers and pundits in agreement on this winners or they are sending us all down the river in the same boat without a paddle!! We’ll find out very soon but top reporting all
I bet Gordon Elliot can’t wait for a week Saturday. Credit it to him he’s at a preview every night and getting asked the same questions. I bet his head is cooked
