There are at least 12 that have said they aren't running here. and plenty others that have stated or have other likely targets.

Yes I was chatting to Joe Tizzard at Kempton on Saturday, although when he mentioned this it sounded like his plan and not the owners. I told him he was mad and literally went through every Ultima contender to tell him why.
I said 'you'll be stuffed and beaten senseless in the Browns, but at least you'll finish second to Nassalam in the Ultima!'Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

In all seriousness, I think the doubts about Oscar Elite you had about the bleeding are valid for him. It's not been an isolated incident. I don't suppose you asked Joe about that?

Twice he has to my knowledge. I'm not sure he knew what to make of me laughing.
That comment, and the comment about supplementing makes you realise the difference between the best trainers, and those that stumble through their season, and don't know their horses as well as they should. Although Joe fits the same mould as 90% of UK trainers out there.
You get the top boys, who are that for a reason, and then you get the likes of Christian Williams who knows he doesn't have the ammunition, so he very specifically targets better value races that tend to be weak. He knows exactly what mark he needs and makes sure he gets it.
In the case of the Tizzards, they've had some serious money spent on horses over the years, and whilst they've had success, in my opinion it's nowhere near what it should be. They just need to be smarter about what they're doing, rather than just ending up where they get.Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

Just in case he gets in off 135 and they want J J Burke to keep the ride?
Ruby mentioned it on Road To Cheltenham and worth a goI did this on Monday, as no word of an amateur booking as yet and he;s 4-1 ?
Exchange strongly suggests KIm Muir though, so probably money back.
I heard O'Connor on Angel, which explains the money for it monday tuesday.
Expect Codd on one of elliotts like dunboyne perhaps.
Pat Mullins on mr incredible.
young lad been named for royal thief.
Not sure on Barry O'Neil though - he may be the one.
