Marie's Rock been receiving some support for this since this morning. Was out at around 14/15 on exchange earlier. Last matched at 8.0 just now and on the drift in the Stayers. Keep the dream alive please MR.

Don't give me hope haha

It's a ground thing

Makes sense. Theatre Glory wont run if its soft and I imagine Nicky will want at least 2 to aim at the Irish battalion.

Yeah I'd say "Good Ground" has been the lynchpin of his argument to owners when trying to convince them of the stayers. If it comes up worse than Good/Soft, I can't see them entertaining the idea.

So is there any possibility that Nicky runs 3 here, or will one go to churdle, whurdle or non runner?

Palin and pals unlikely to be swayed by Nicky I reckon, it will be purely down to the ground and rivals.
Talks a proper good game in this article.
Definitely not side stepping for Epatante, that's for sure.

Very much sounds like she'll run on the Tuesday now doesn't it. What a race !!

[opatcho]

The Mares race is definitely the race she should be running in
Distance suits her so well, and you have to imagine she'll bet better with a bit of cut (ground was very quick on the Tuesday last year)

I guess like us all, they'll be waiting on how much rain lands on Sunday night. Looking at the forecast upto then you wouldn't think the going will change much, meaning g/s and the likelihood that the New Course on Thursday rides fast enough for them.

This morning's update from the Clerk didn't show that much difference from yesterday.

They may even end up having to declare on Sunday morning for Tuesday and pulling her after finding out what the going is Monday AM.

If Midnight Ginger isn't declared (no offence meant), this is the ultimate race. Whilst some are more likely winners than others, any of the field have the quality/potential to win the race. Shewearsitwell would be the outsider of the bunch! That is quite something. Can't wait.

If they declare her that's it, no Stayers.

Beat me to it. Big, big decision to make.
My thoughts are she can step up at Aintree and go Stayers next year.

I hope she goes here, it’ll hopefully be one for the ages, eagerly anticipating this & the Arkle on the Tuesday, both should be compelling but in very different ways…

If it goes Soft then I can see good support for Love Envoi. She's too big ATM.
