Donald McCain. I was convinced he was a future champion trainer in waiting but in my (not worth a lot but i'll give it anyway) opinion, he took on too many horses and lost his way a bit. It might be his training methods as he couldn't coax out the longevity of career, that say Nicholls can, or...

What happened to Western Warhorse? That broke me that race did. I was convinced CF would give us both the hat-trick of cheltenham wins.

Nicholls surely... 23% win rate with chasers over the last 5 seasons, which given the volume of runners will be hard to beat. I don't have the stats in tabular form though so no doubt someone will have a better record. The only one who readily came to mind was Harry Fry - 30% win rate with...

Great performance from Cue Card, coneygree went down fighting, tremendous race. Always easier to take a losing bet in circumstances like that.

I'm pretty surprised Coneygree isn't favourite. If he was trained by Nicholls he would be odds on. Track and absence would be the concerns but his first time out record is undefeated and Kempton is pretty tight and he destroyed the Feltham field there. Biggest bet of the NH season so far for me.

Like Gus I thought the same thing. If you knew he'd taken to hurdles he would be 12/1 or thereabouts. Ground will be fine and he is a decent stamp of horse, looked worth a speculative e/w punt in a tricky race anyway.

Classic weren't bad either...... Arrogate best horse on the planet now surely after backing up his Travers rout?

Yes well done Gus - Good day for a few. Enjoy the evening!

:lol: Morando the improver, backed him and sea wolf e/w.

Marbles turn then - What you backing Marb?!

I have no idea but Nevison is usually worth listening to in handicaps so might just have an e/w interest on Sea Wolf.

Thanks chaps - Any views on the last? I'm not a big handicap punter. Nevison fancies Sea Wolf e/w and Morando the buzz horse.

Fk senility! Slow start but that double has just made my day!!! Might have been obvious but I was very confident in Almanzor.

But I won't care if Almanzor wins this!

I'm only fkin 36!!!

You're right, i'm losing it....

Was it? Maybe i'm cracking up then!!!!

Certainly has been in recent years. I remember being there when Ravens Pass beat Henry the navigator (It still hurts.....).

PS - I have him n a big double with Minding.

Really? Not reported on RUK. Almanzor is my bet of the day, I think he is the best horse in Europe and will prove it again today (Assuming he runs).
