I hadnt said I was definitely putting something up, but on the off chance that anyone is expecting a pick, there won't be one this morning as there is...

[riccirich]

I assumed there wouldn't be much difficulty finding someone so hadn't really been paying attention to the thread until last night.

Theres...

[riccirich]

Yeah not sure what happened there, seemed to snatch up and lose ground and then stay on again. Might have nicked a place with a clear run, or maybe not....

I think it will always be in the back of their minds that he has a good record at Aintree. The owners also don't seem too fussed about whether they go...

Wouldn't be going anywhere near impaire for cheltenham myself without cashout.

If i recall right when shishkin and sprinter ran over further over hurdles it was maiden hurdles or novice hurdles before cheltenham, which was probably...

[riccirich]

Thanks mate. My first choice has just been backed from 16s into 9s. So might have to fall back to the 2nd choice, or maybe wait for Sunday if that one...

[riccirich]

I just think the excitement over the chance of a big price winner with a not very obvious selection is a big part of the draw with these things.

[riccirich]

There's a few interesting ones in there alright. But I'd say it's unlikely enough my pick will be from that race, I'll see ...
