    I've just backed him for the race at the weekend, I can then roll him up for the Stayers if he's impressive enough. I'll probably get a better accumulated price doing it this way. He needs to be winning it and winning well, the race is full of handicappers and some old horses, and he's likely going to be getting weight off plenty of them too.

    • Sort of hoping Marie's Rock wins next week and does go to the Stayers. Don't see her beating Flooring but she'd be out of the equation in the Mares Hurdle which will help.

      • …Harry Fry re Might I:

        ”I still can’t believe we won only one race with him over hurdles last season but he did bump into Constitution Hill conceding weight & then Jonbon before finishing runner-up in G1 hurdle at Aintree. He is set to reappear on Saturday in the valuable stayers hurdle on Betfair Chase day. It is a step up in trip but he is a half brother to Stattler who won the NHC so we are hopeful he will stay. He is an exciting 2nd season hurdler for us.”

          Won't run next week. MPR not that keen on the stayers as she can be free going but Nicky has half an eye there

            I get why MPR see it that way but I see it a little differently. For me she settled perfectly lto in punchestown when stormy Ireland set such a strong pace (much stronger than she did at Cheltenham).... A scenario that would be very likely to play out with flooring Porter. For me the race would very much be run to suit. Obviously she needs to improve but that’s exactly what she did throughout last season and I like her breeding for the trip ....I can see why Nicky has half an eye

                        • Fully onside with the Might I value shout in this market, I’ve a lot of eggs on Blazing Khal’s basket but his wellness doubts has me happy to cover Might I at 40/1!

                          On breeding he’s tailor made, his collateral form is rock solid even today with Olly Murphys Thunder Rock! Unowhatimeanarry’s Albert Bartlett wins shows the trainer know how to prep one for the job!

                          • I’ve taken the double with Might I, but something just tells me this horse is going to fold tomorrow

                            happy to be proven wrong as I’m finding it hard to have confidence in him

                              A Fame & Glory out of an Old Vic mare, on breeding you couldn’t mark him down, surely the better stamina test the better, soft ground tomorrow shout suit too.

                                I know it's into 66/1 but apologies if the price goes completely. I've asked Skybet to refunds my bet on the 50/1 and when they refused I've raised a bit of a stink about the same market with different odds and that they should honour the better odds etc.
