    Meanders talking up of WW isn't holding up yet. Hope he isn't on Meades dirty water
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    After the race, Mullins spoke of Don Poli as a possible horse for the National Hunt 4m chase.

    Both Mullins and Gigginstown must feel that they've plenty of options for the RSA.

    Can't he get on Meade's runner looked like Very Wood needed that trip.Though one can forgive a run.

    I still have it in my mind how Don Poli made Beat That work hard at Punchestown.

    Have just read his comments. 'National Hunt Chase, he's nailed on to run in that'.

    Best performance from a novice since Sprinter Sacre at Donnie.

    Good luck to you guys with those vouchers...better hope Sprinter Sacre bounces back in the Tingle Creek because without him and Sire De Grugy I know where I would run Vautour.

    Doubt they would go for it but who knows.

    If some soft and the above miss out, the Ryanair will cut him and Ballycasey could re-route

    Shame Vautour aint in the Drinmore

    If SS doesn't make it back to full monty then logically you'd think either uds or Vautaur could go the open route. But the stable is very unadventurous.

    I still think Josses Hill and TTT are major players as they were future chasers just playing at it last year, just like Sprinter Sacre was.

    talking of Sprinter, he was last matched at 3.00 for the Tingle Creek & nothing to lay now. Looks a bit fishy...

    As he is very unlikely to run in anything other than the Arkle or the QMCC

    If you dutch Vatour for the Arkle and the QMCC you will get over 3/1 for your cash at the best odds available.

    As far as Sprinter Sacre goes he is supposed to be having a racecourse gallop with a heart monitor on to double check what their eyes are telling them..that is that he is 100% ok

    I doubt if some idiot laying him for a tenner on the machine is any indication of his condition.

    The only money being offered on Betfair for Dodging Bullets was 4 quid at 4 in the early hours.

    Sprinter Sacre is on offer at 2.5 but if Nicky happens to say as much as he's fine that price won't last 2 minutes.
