Thanks. We will find out in 6 hours time - so I may share doubts then too!

I tend not to get too involved in pedigrees, as I don’t know enough about them and there are plenty of exceptions to what distance you would expect a horse to excel at. As it happens, I did look at Three Card Brag’s pedigree, and the dam’s offspring are a mixed bunch. However, they include 2 half brothers who did well at 4 miles. Idle Talk ran (albeit poorly) in 3 Nationals, and ran well in one Scottish National. Another one won over 4m on heavy at Hexham.

Connections seem to think he is an out and out stayer - so still happy with my choice.
