        We'll probably cheer him if he gets a hattrick.

        Norwood is 7/5 to score anytime.

        Absolute no brainer

          I think the 137 rating Ciel de Neige has got is very attractive for this race, as that sort of weight has done very well as per the opening post (Foxy) with that trainer also.
          So took the antepost risk on it with ladbrokes boosted to 35-1.

            Just pulled the trigger Aramon for this 16/1 NRNB.
            Mullins a genius at placing the right horses in this race and Aramon looks to be just short of top class so I’m hoping he avoids the Champion Hurdle, hold entries at Dublin and the Betfair hurdle but assuming he doesn’t do anything stupid like win he’ll have a nice weight off a rating in the mid/late 140s.
            25/1 available but I’d like some NRNB insurance...

              I like Aramon, that seems a fair enough bet.

                What did you think of the game HF?

                I thought we were the better side first half until the goal. Poor to concede from a set piece. Tranmere finished well in the last ten minutes of the first half. Second half, we were thoroughly better and deserved the three points. Flynn Downes is a future England captain. Ran the midfield yet again. Atmosphere was very good in our end I thought and it was absolute limbs for the winner. All in all, a belter of an away day. Up the Town.

                  Thought it was strange seeing a game being played on a pitch worse than what I used to play on every weekend!
                  Thought Town made hard work of it, almost seemed scared to have a pop at a keeper who looked dodgy at best to me!
                  Could see Norwood is a player, would think you’ll want to be going up to keep vultures away!

                    Are people basing Aaramon winning the county hurdle on his form against Klassical Dream??

                      I'm basing it on him currently being just below top class and in the hands of the best NH trainer around who has a habit of finding the right horses for this race.
                      For all that he's not certain to head to the County...

                        The dirty vultures took him from us. Hope they circle again and team those Tractor morons a lesson.

                        Didn't even start Norwood, should be calling for the managers head rather than praising him





                        I jest. I really, really don't care

                          Think all of that is a very reflection. To be honest, I was pleased that it was on at all after the Watford game there was abandoned in the week. Otherwise, it’s a lot of train money tickets down the drain had it been postponed.

                          Jackson and Norwood have an incredible understanding and as soon as Norwood got it in the middle, I just prayed he would look for Jackson who (as expected) was already on his heels in behind.

                          All in all, a cracking day out.

                          Now.. back to the County.. does Eldorado Allen come here? And if so, how far does he win by?

                            If he wins this off 152 then they probably should have taken a crack at the CH

                            I put him up preseason for the Arkle and JLT and won’t back him until he goes chasing next season.

                              Had a look at this now properly and it would make alot of sense to go here, him and couer sublime look pretty similar in levels so if either go ill back the pair of them but for now im
                              With you on Aramon

                                ...interesting that when pushed for a festival ante-post selection, Sporting Life’s Ben Linfoot went for Pic D’orhy in this.

                                Of all the horses in all the world.
