Disappointed with Better Days Ahead there like. Looked like Stellar Story could've won if they wanted him to. And was giving him 5lb.

They seemed to go very slow though.

Gilligan definitely making sure he didn't win on Stellar Story there.

Disappointed too, given a fairly big BDA backer.

Yep. Stellar the one to take out of that. Was definitely being held back. BDA won't be winning the BANC I don't think. Sorry backers....... and I'm one !

[Quevega]

If they run Stellar Story in the BANC I reckon he has a right chance.

[Lobos]

Could Stellar go for a Handicap at the festival or is he in the National?? If so I'll be backing him.

[Lobos]

Think BDA needed that race.
He’s a proper stayer for sure.

Yep. More a National type. Just doesn't have the class for the BANC I'd say.

I would agree with this. They’ve talked him down a bit this season but I’ve a feeling he’ll be there punching at the last.

[ComplyOrDie]

Yep.

Just backed him at 20's NRNB.

[Carnage at Taunton]

Yep. More a National type. Just doesn't have the class for the BANC I'd say.

Might depend on the ground as to his chances, but I think he will be better next time for that run today.

[The hill]

Can he go NHC?

[DenmanSacre]

Can he go NHC?

He'll be rated too high.

[Eggs]

….Stellar into as low as 12-1 NHC, BFSB hung onto 40-1 AP for a bit but have now cut to 16-1, 16-1 NRNB for BANC. BDA out to 10-1 BANC.

Festival winner and you can't beat that form

Then again, if he were going for the BANC then he'd be trying to win today which he definitely wasn't!

[FinalFurlong91]

Don't think either of them will trouble ballyburn and dancing city

I'd be pretty surprised if the winner wasn't one of those two

[Quevega]

Depends how the race goes in terms of pace and ground etc.
But if you want a dirty stayer then Stellar Story is that.

[Liverpoolchamp]

Think the grounds going to be a big factor in the BANC,if it’s a bog then it favours Dancing City and Stellar Story and the like,but anything else Ballyburn just wins for me,by far the most classy horse in the race.
