I don't have a big problem with all the Giggi runners. If you look at the 5-day decs a lot of runners from other owners have come out and allowed those lower down the weights to make the cut.

I reckon at least four, maybe five of the Giggi runners could have been denied a place if other owners had kept their horses in. Another two or three of them are only running because they didn't complete at Aintree.

The chances are only two or three of the Giggi runners will actually be trying, the rest are there to deny places to others. It wouldn't be unheard of for McManus to have half a dozen in a race, denying places to others.

It's the way it is. I don't see much point in crabbing it. Other owners just need to deal with it. Maybe just get their horse better handicapped and stick to them in the race.

I really don't want O'Leary to win because he is the epitome of arseholery.

But it won't stop me backing one or two of them!
