Douvan might be running.

Has lost his sex appeal

He lost that years ago when the vet snipped him.

Patrick said it will happen on Irish radio tonight and that the Irish National winner could be a good cup horse next year.

What's this big two bollocks. I give Bellshill more than a squeak of beating both on a more suitable track

Ones just won a grade one by 9 lengths & the other has just won the Gold Cup.
Think it's fair to say they are the main two here & would hardly call it bollocks.

Pretty much that and their ages and completed races v Bellshill

I reckon Euro is enjoying the gripping Premier League title chase between City, Liverpool and Crystal Palace.

What do we think the grounds going to be?

 

[granger]

They have mentioned watering and their are some pockets of rain about and due

Ground will definitely have some good in it.

Ground yielding and likely to stay that way.

Gold Cup riding arrangements:
Al Boum Photo - Paul Townend
Bellshill - David Mullins

A little, but he wasn't classy enough over minimum so I guess they have no choice but to step him up

A Plus Tard is one I can't wait to see again
