Honestly hope an Irish horse beats that at Aintree, if Skelton had Drogo fit he would be switching him to Aintree at the last minute to dodge Bob and GDC.Originally posted by Zachx02 View PostComment

Well it looks like a Willie fest this year. The only other one that might be of interest for me if there is enhanced place terms on the day is Alan kings Nina the terrier. He often sneaks a place with his mares novices that he runsComment

I think I'm going to add Mighty Blue at 20/1 NRNB here.
Placed in the race last year.... (3rd) ahead of Skyace, The Glancing Queen, Glens of Antrim, Martello Sky, Royal Kahala, Gauloise, Hook Up etc...
Magic Daze was ahead and finished a close 2nd in a Grade 2 this year behind Concertista, the winner Telmesomethinggirl is fav for the Mares Hurdle....
and after running in graded races on the flat, then a big break before returning to hurdles I can only assume this is the plan to run here again as a second season novice.
She'll have 'learnt plenty' and should come back a better mare this time around? Second season novice has won this race before, albeit for Willie...but we all know I love Joseph so I'm still positive.
She kind of fits the 'unsexy' returning horse profile that often get overlooked, as she didn't get the job done last year....however I'm willing to chance that at 20/1 (compared to 12/1 last year) that she's improved and is better for the experience since.
An obvious negative is unseating a couple of weeks back in the race the Goven won when she was fav.... the RP comments: "Chased leaders, pressed leaders after 3 out, went second and every chance 2 out, ridden and 1 length down when mistake and unseated rider last".
Now I started to really fancy Goven for a handicap, and none of this is putting me off her.
I know plenty of us have the head of the market and the sexy Mullins mares covered, and nothing puts me off them, it's justthat the market is assuming (maybe rightly so) that this years crop are better than the last years, and I'd say that's unproven so far, so at 20/1 nrnb, she's worth a poke to at least make the frame again.Comment

Don't get me wrong, my personal opinion is that no trainer/owner owes anyone in the betting public anything at all but my god they get so much more respect from me when they do provide information in a timely manner. (Or even simpler, they just don't lie through their teeth...)Comment
