I’m also a bit of a story seeker at times and can’t get away from what would be a love in with AP and the channel 4 crew with his lad being there. It’s set up for it fir me.
    Not sure Ed Chamberlin will be happy with AP if he sneaks off to party with Channel 4?

      For me, he's not a natural chaser, he lost so much time in the RSA at pretty much every single fence. If he can improve his jumping he'll be in with a shout. But how far ahead will APB be at that point? To me, will be too far ahead.

        They are saying he's been out to grass with Henrietta Knight and that his jumping better... we shall see!

              My first real big winner at Cheltenham. My mates brother had been tipping it up for weeks so we went in hard (for us). Watched it round my mates house then spent the rest of the afternoon watching the racing drinking a potent home made punch. Reminds me of the glory days of youth

              • Ah OK, was just that I went to Alan King's stable one day when the horse was there and took a few photos of him in the paddock and on the gallops. I didn't know if you were working there in those days.

                          I'd want that, at least.

                          • Great jumping as always by Frodon putting them to the sword one by one ,great story with Ms Frost riding him to every fence as though her life depends on it.

                            [B]Got two hopes of winning Gold Cup , no hope and Bob Hope.

                            Ryanair the race they should target would have big chance on todays running. Looks back to his best after disappointing season.

                            • Minella Indo entered up in what looks a fairly easy Grade 3 at Wexford on Monday.

                              Milan Native also entered but if you're looking at being a Gold Cup winner you'd be expecting him to win it well enough.

                              • At some point it needs to be recognised that the jump from 155 to 165 is more than 10lbs
