I really like her for the AIntree Hurdle. Give her a easy time next week, pick up some place money (or even win if the Millins fav doesnt turn up)

....the defection of Thyme Hill was a big blow and with Roksana also missing I think it throws this race open so I’m having a little interest in Reserve Tank at 50-1 NRNB.
On its first run for a year at Fontwell, it was way out the back but doing it’s best work towards the end, staying on to get amongst the pack as they crossed the line. Some fine form going into last years Festival where it was amongst the fancies for the Marsh, terrific novice hurdle campaign beating the likes of Sam’s Profile & Brewinupastorm.

Any major reason we’d be against Flooring Porter here?
I thought he was absolutely cracking over Christmas and I also anticipated he’d be just as good or better on spring ground.
He beat Storyteller by a few lengths that day and yet lots of people like him for this.
Ive got this between the two Gigginstown (FR and BE) and Flooring Porter, with Storyteller placing.

I'd love to have him onside, but I don't personally see any juice in the price.

Trying to find some different angles for this
Reserve Tank was a promising horse as a 5 year old. They even took him over to Ireland, yeah remember the days GB horses would travel the other way, to win a grade 1 over 2m4f - race in which City Island flopped
Had a terrible time of it over fences. Impossible task as a 5 year old.
Despite this, ran a half decent race in last year in the Marsh which turned into a sprint.
Reverted back to hurdle, carried on on the run in but looks like (.. either)
1) he wants much further
2) he's half the horse he used to be
If he retains any ability, then he could be value at 66/1
The other reason why I'm made a case for him is his form over good spring ground. He ran at Aintree with the going as Good, before hoping over to Ireland in late april to run on good/yielding.
I may be repeating myself, but it looks like we've got our side some decent ground. Concerned that of these stayers are proper, proper stayers - boats! We've had terrible weather this season, most of these have acted over testing ground. Now we have decent quick ground unless Simon puts down 15mm tomorrow
Yeah, Colin is in dire form. 66/1 will cover that concern off
