    7 days this vote is open for....

    For me:

    1. Paisley Park
    2. Benie Des Dieux
    3. Tiger Roll
    4. Envoi Allen



    I think.

    I've gone for Paisley first, as he has no new credible opposition.

    Benie would be first if I knew Honeysuckle wasn't running.... but she is a new and credible challenger.

    Tiger Roll could easily win by the biggest margin of the lot.... but ultimately, he's not done as well in the Boyne Hurdle this year as he did last year, and surely this time the Grand National is the aim moreso than it was last year.

    Envoi Allen, just has to be 4th in this list as he's in the deepest race (potentially)

          PP - Just dont see what can beat it? Returning champion
          BDS - Similar to above, was a close call but just misses out because of her fall last year!
          EA - I want it to be the one, but I think has the most to prove still
          TR - Vulunerable, crazy race, not getting any younger, but probably the greatest so wont be backing against it! Just feel the others have better chance.

            I don’t know how anybody could pick Benie over Paisley Park

            Benie potentially has to take on Honeysuckle

            There is no decent rival for Paisley

                Isn't it strange knowing at least one of them won't win

                  The longer it goes on the more I agree with TS that EA is the lay of the festival.

                    Genuinely think Appreciate it is my nap of the meeting! Looks a proper horse and not a great race to say the least.

                      Paisley Park (absolute freak of a horse)
                      Benie
                      Tiger

                      Don't think Envoi Allen will win

                        Easy, Tiger.

                        Won more times at the festival than all the others combined! XC last year was a 22L snaff like demolition job and I cannot see anything getting close to him, whereas I can with all the others. BDD is F and beat Midnight Tour ½L, with Honeysuckle waiting in the wings that will give her a race. Paisley Park looks bombproof and stayed on well to beat Sam Spinner, but I've seen more convincing stayers wins (Thistlecrack). Envoi Allen is a novice in what's now looking a deeper race, and I just couldn't have that over a horse with Tiger's CV.


                        1. Tiger
                        2. BDD
                        3. Paisley
                        4. Envoi Allen

                          PP - Nothing will get close in my opinion

                          BDD - I believe will take care of honeysuckle if/when the meet.

                          Tiger - easily best horse in race

                          EA - looks very, very good, but so do a couple of others

                            The only one I will definitely back on multiples on the day is PP

                              Love this. These are the four horses I have built my multiples around this year and can’t see any of them getting beat at this stage. Fingers crossed that remains the case.
