Good to soft will do but he wont beat native River even if it's good ground. Get a way too much credit for a horse who beat ziltch in the King George and was brushed aside with ease in the Gold Cup........
 
Away wi ye, Fist. Native River would get humped by The Biter over 3m, on ground that’s remotely decent.
 
Should Native River really be 10/3 and 3/1? Given he's likely to lead this must be the easiest back to lay of all time.

Not my kind of bet but sounds like picking up money but you might have to lay off earlier than expected. I reckon this will be run at Gold Cup pace and can see him pressed earlier than usual. Those with eyes on the big bonus will be 100% ready for this; they can't afford not to be.

Might Bite's best form was when he went on some way out and took the others right out of their comfort zone. They opted out of that tactic in the Gold Cup because of the ground but it will be good on Saturday and I anticipate a return to a forceful final mile. My genuine worry is who will ride. I couldn't back MB with McGrath up after last weekend.

Can't see the prices changing much until the writing is on the wall and by that time you won't want to be laying.


Might Bite is 6 from 7 since falling in the Feltham but when it's really mattered he's failed to impress.


His King George win was well below what was expected of him by his multitude of fans and he was easily disposed of by Native River.

I don't give him a hope in hell of reversing the Gold Cup form at Haydock

Can't understand how Mcgrath still has a job at seven barrows. James Bowen far better.
Might Bite is an absolute cert though on better ground at the weekend.
 
I checked for forecast for the area earlier. Looks generally dry with spits and spots now and again, slightly more so on Wednesday. Probably no more than about 5mm all in.

If the forecast is right...
 
Relief for those backing the horse, of which I am one.

Piled in early, think Native River Will be a N/R
