What is the story with Amirite? Not a great deal of evidence to suggest he's well in, but has come close to biggish wins at around this mark, and has been backed to win before. A shortish price, nevertheless, given that he's only managed to win once in his career. And just the one run over...

Regarding whether he can stay, this is confirmation bias on my part because I already wanted to back him, but I think it's a plus that he stayed 2m+ over hurdles as a 3yo in France.

I'm wondering about Murcia's 13lb pull compared to Cheltenham, although I see I've missed the good prices on her.

Yes, that's right, but when choosing between them now the first tie-breaker is current ratings.

I don't think that's right. According to RP: DC is now rated 144, SU is 143, RM 142.

I'm basing that on the fact that RP says that in future races Duffle Coat will race off 1 lower than his National mark, while the other two will race off 3 and 2 lower respectively.

Looks like Duffle Coat is the last one in? If I'm not mistaken his current mark is higher than Roi Mage and Shakem Up'arry

Well done!

In the hope that surely he must drop to a winning mark at some stage, Third Time Lucki, 3:20 Ascot

I'm going for the Brits to strike back: 1. Hyland 2. Hitman 3. Bravemansgame 4. Senior Chief 5. I am Maximus 6. Beauport 7. M Cocooner 8. Perceval 9. Threecardbrag 10. Intense Raffles

Same here, GDM was my strong first impression

One thing I've learned from this race is that George Boughey's runners can go off at a good price! He said afterwards that this had been the plan for a long time and that they fancied it, but today it drifted on the exchange to as high as 75 or 80, I think, before finishing around mid 40s before...

Lost it on the nod... But awesome work

Ooh, interesting: having taken a few 150s I've just had some 95s taken off me on the exchange. Interest stirring?

No tougher a test? I guess you're making a rhetorical point, but... 3m 5f vs 4m 2f 24 fences vs 30 fences 20 runners vs 34 5yo+ vs 7yo+ 16,000 spectators vs 150,000

Old Cock is shortening.

Illustration: Nicholls' 5 yr win rate: 24% His 24/25 win rate: 18% His win rate in the last fortnight: 13%

I've been interested in Stay Away Fay too, but I see he's out to 130 on the exchange. A sign he's unlikely to run? Or perhaps just a total lack of money for the time being in a small market. Anyway, no sign of confidence, yet, from the yard, for a horse that is yet to come right. That said, a...

I do as long as it stays dry. Doesn't sound very comfortable, does it?
