I'll put in 50 to the winner, if it's free to enter.

I can see why Back In Black is one of the market leaders. His beating of the Crisford trained horse Shout looks excellent now, with that horse winning earlier this month and now rated 100. Back in Black is off 93 if he takes his chance on Saturday. Be interested to hear what Ian thinks again.

Good points. There's not much rain due is there, and he wants a bit of cut.

I'd be extra interested to hear your thoughts on Thunder Roar, Ian. No..20 on the list as I type.

Oh, and the pedantry.

Aye, come back, dear Dessie. I always enjoyed trying to crunch your number crunching on a Saturday morning, I did.

Desert Orchid put that up as well, if memory serves. I'm just trying to entice him into posting again, you understand.

I had a 100/1 winner at the meeting last year. Looking forward to this.

I thoroughly enjoyed backing Don Virginia too, I have to say. The most satisfying winner I've backed in a long long time. It was never in doubt, was it.

Great foresight from you both, well done guys.

My two cents worth. There's a fair bit of dead wood in this race, especially towards the top of the handicap. The English raider Minstrel Knight has shown a bit of talent and races with a lovely racing weight for a stayers contest of this nature. His owners are called 'gaelic bloodstock'...

Same here. I'm going for a long ly down until declarations for the Cesarewitch.

Yes, the three biggest things that provoke others or cause the most argumentative discussions on Talking Horses are those started about politics, religion, and what will win the following years Champion Hurdle. :)

I'm giving Booyea another chance aswell.

Mordor for Gordon Elliot is interesting over this sort of distance. He finished best of the rest against Kyle Of Lochalsh who is a solid enough horse or yardstick in staying events. Oxford Comma was third there with a previous Cesarewitch placer Bashful Boy in fourth. I think that was a good...

Yes, I envisage you usually want a prominent racer for this. This would stand against Light N Strike who is usually held up. I think his race will either go one of two ways. He'll be held up again, taken off his feet and start making mistakes, pulled up and kept back for a crack at the Summer...

Yes, regardless of which party, wrongdoers should be called out. That said, I couldn't personally compare or put on the same scale, say what Angela Rayner did, to what was going on with PPE contracts. One was foolish, the other a total and utter stitch up to secure millions of pounds of...

If politics was purely a pantomime and the best performing actor or artist would win, Boris would win everything. It was no surprise that a serious matter like Covid became his downfall.

Quite sickening isn't it. This ITV documentary tonight really reinforces it. While our relatives were dying, the Tory powers that be were swarming and overflowing with dodgy business deals selling PPE from central government and tax payers money, lining the pockets of the Tory aristocracy in...

Incredible scenes. Well done M&P.
