I really fancied Percival Legallois. However, as I mentioned on here, it bothered me that he’d fallen twice and unseated once. I also read on the OLBG stats page that Mark Walsh didn’t have the best of records in the race and that Gavin Cromwell didn’t seem to have much experience of training horses for long distance races. And then, strange one this, colours to avoid; one of them being bb, which I didn’t know so I looked at all the horse colours and, guess what. Poor old Percy is bb ( whatever that is). At least a 7 year old didn’t win again. And horses do need more than 2 runs in a season and it’s vital that they don’t miss their prep run. Of course, I’ll still probably ignore all that if it suits me!
