Those who are dancing with glee that Denman is "drifting" should note that he hasn't moved with those who are offering "no runner, no bet". I doubt he'll drift any more and will start hardening before the day. As soon as the 7s have disappeared momentum could easily begin to grow. This sort of thing is typical in the run up to the Festival.

I am now more optimistic that he will run. The yard says he is improving by the day and at least one of his owners is very keen to run. I doubt he'll show us what he did last year, but it is quite likely he'll manage to run to 175, which is usually good enough for this.

His heart problem will not be a factor in his performance and the Findlay stuff is just a bit of nonsense clouding the issue (from a "professional punter's" point of view). Hold your nerve, he's not beat yet.

[QUOTE="SteveM, post: 2176159, member: 64943"] Those who are dancing with glee that Denman is "drifting" should note that he hasn't moved with those who are offering "no runner, no bet". I doubt he'll drift any more and will start hardening before the day. As soon as the 7s have disappeared momentum could easily begin to grow. This sort of thing is typical in the run up to the Festival. I am now more optimistic that he will run. The yard says he is improving by the day and at least one of his owners is very keen to run. I doubt he'll show us what he did last year, but it is quite likely he'll manage to run to 175, which is usually good enough for this. His heart problem will not be a factor in his performance and the Findlay stuff is just a bit of nonsense clouding the issue (from a "professional punter's" point of view).
