Grand National Trial Handicap Chase (Haydock Park)

[Ian_Davies]

If Royal Pagaille is declared to run on Thursday he won't half compress the weights.

In addition to boosting his own chances, I think this might favour Gala Des Liteaux if she goes here.

Tbf, I did say that on MONDAY.

Last time out is a big worry, but otherwise he has a cracking record at the track.

 

[Desert Orchid]

Yes, of course you did, Ian. Not disputing that or suggesting I've suddenly realised it for myself.

 

[Ian_Davies]

No worries, Maurice, the tongue i'd never far from the cheek with me, as you know.

I'm heartened to read you give it a chance too.

Should be a cracking race.

 

[Desert Orchid]

I do think it would be a cracking race if they were all running off their proper marks but my suspicion is that it might fall apart.

Then again, if one of mine/ours wins it will of course have been a cracking race

 

[The Fortune Teller]

My fella Gitty dropped out the back of the tele , then runs on for fourth.

Another crack at the Kim Muir I reckon.

 

[Ian_Davies]

Game effort by the winner. who just outstayed the runner up, I think.

I wonder where Yeah Man would have finished had he stood up.

Either way, they're there to be jumped.

 

[Robicheaux]

Thought about taking 16s last night, about Famous Bridge. I didn't, so that's the end of that. He's the one that I think will go well.

Should've but the bullet + took the 16s. It's a winner though.

My fella Gitty dropped out the back of the tele , then runs on for fourth.

Another crack at the Kim Muir I reckon.

I'd have thought Midlands or another tilt at the Scottish Marb.
