I would love to see Hidden Cyclone win for the Shark.
A rattling good horse that deserves a big pot.

I heartily endorse this statement.

 

[SlimChance]

I cant see Champion Court out of the places. Likely to run into 1 or 2 better handicapped horses though. I'll be having a good place bet on CC.

It will be five places on the day. Much better value.

 

[Diamond Geezer]

Will Hickman with a few ideas re the PP

I heartily endorse this statement.

Looks relatively well treated. Hope the fences are forgiving

 

[Roddy Owen]

This is Chelt,no forgiving, be great to see the shark win though

Doesn't Hidden Cyclone need plenty of cut in the ground? He won't be getting that this weekend

I make no attempt to justify my wager, other than to state that I'm stretching the form arguments to a point where they are almost certain to twang straight back into my eyeball.

Regardless....Tally-fu*cking-Ho, I say.

Hidden Cyclone is criminally over-rated.

Hidden Cyclone is criminally over-rated.

Shark is criminally over-popular

 

[Ardross]

One can see why they are tempted with Finian's rainbow off 163 if the wind op has done the trick .

Cheers Slim, yeah i'll wait until the day and have a good scud on the place.

I'm keen on Colour Squadron out of the young and unexposed lot, but having looked again I reckon if Wishful Thinking could find his best form he'd be bang there with a good chance. He did not run to his best when favourite for this race in 2011, and having run a good second in the Jewson, then winning at Aintree and Punchestown beforehand, probably just over-cooked him. 25/1 a huge price were he to run coming into the race a fresh horse.

in a departure from normal SWC is going to wear a lyrca outfit rather than traditional silks on rahjani express as he believes it will be more aerodynamic than silks blowing around in the wind. A view backed up by a sports specialist from Warwick university

 

[Digger]

Also better when he is flying through the air.

If they were so into marginal gains, you'd think they'd hire a better jockey.

 

[Perpetual]

No Dynaste

 

[Bar the Bull]

I am feeling nice and smug about my Ballynagour bet. He's so well in at the weights, I would be disappointed if he didn't lap them.

 

[Desert Orchid]

Yes, it's easy to see how the aggregation of marginal gains can work so well at the very top level of cycling or swimming but this just sounds gimmicky.

It's the new helmet I'm worried about

That's what I'm leaning towards

Finian's needs a lobotomy, not a wind-op.

 

[simmo]

Now there's absolutely no call at all for that sort of sectarian talk, especially so since you even state that you are being serious.

Many of the members on here are perfectly nice Finians.
