Re Gaillard Du Mesnil, someone on Twitter asked Johnny Dineen - Could JD find out from his pal Joe Donnelly, whether the NHC is the plan for GDM and tell us how much Joe has staked on his ante post? Response - I can tell you what Joe will have on ante post and thats zero, and as for the horses plans, I do know that he will leave it completely to the trainer. He is neither a punter or a hands on owner.

I was hoping JD would reply stating Donnelly has the mortgage, life savings and retirement pot on GDM for the NH Chase regardless of whether he won the Grade 1 today, but that was very much wishful thinking on my part!
Good of JD to reply nonetheless and we get a better idea of the type of owner Joe Donnelly is!

TSL is being very well supported so if GDM were to brush him aside with ease and win impressively, then I think the BANC has to become the more likely outcome. I'm all over the place with what I want the outcome to be tbh as it affects lots of my other bets! Hopefully they both stand, run their races and we get a proper answer!
Like you say, both running their races is what we need. It'll hopefully allow us to adjust our positions after the race, if required.

A cosy win for 3SL is what I need, with GDM doing his best work in last 100 yards.
