The vibes are for a very small field so ew 3 places looks quite interesting.

Good point. GDC, Fury Road and Stattler and the only runners that look 'certain' no?

Not sure that Willie is too keen on pitching Stattler against GDC until Cheltenham. Someone said that in the RP I believe.

Kemboy an intended runner at this stage but Willie doesn't do certainty this far out.

I thought it might give them a good idea where they stand with a view to GC or GN.

I think it was in the paper about 12 January, possibly the members area on the website as a takeaway from the original entries. The quote is,
"Willie seemed lukewarm about Stattler running in it when I spoke to him the other day"

Better jump on your boy EW top 3 @ 12/1 then Arch with potentially just 5 runners !

Franco de Port not declared for the Thyestes so probably goes here.
