          Three of these are major firms who aren't NRNB. Shortening their prices because of moron money, or to attract it? I might put a few bob on to see if I can get some restrictions lifted.

              I can’t quite fathom “ I Am Maximus “

              He appears to be bandy

              The only way I can describe him is like a car with four different size tyres

              I couldn’t back him with stolen

                I like to think Willie works I Am Maximus and Kilcruit together just so the team can debate who has the worst action.

                          Given the Donnelly's have 3 potential runners and one of them isn't Willies, I suspect Willie wanted to speak with connections as a courtesy before making public statements

                              Considering how tight a lot of prices have been this year, Minella Crooner seems to be quite generously priced at 16/1 NRNB for this. Very likely to get qualified tomorrow and judging by the back up entry in the Ten Up next week it would appear Gordon is keen to do so. Can see those prices halving if he puts on a decent show. If he disappoints then he may well not run and it's money back.

                              With Chemical Energy underwhelming last time (whether fit or not) MC could be the stable's best chance in this race. Was vying for Albert Bartlett favouritism before missing festival last year.
