11st 3lb isn't ideal but not insurmountable so I reckon A Toi Phil is going to be extremely hard to beat.
Not many in the field have ideal conditions (ground and distance) but he does and I love having Bruno on board. Have availed of the 8s. 5 places as I reckon he's near nailed on to at least place.

Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."
I have to say, I think our very-own pdleech has a major chance with Bay Of Freedom. One of the very few that has winning form on heavy ground (and a course winner over fences), he should be well-suited by conditions, which will be against many today. There's perhaps a slight question-mark about stamina, but the owner sounds upbeat, which is good enough for me.
Best of luck today, pdleech!

Would agree fully Grassy - Think BOF is a live contender
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

Hope you have a brilliant day!
Thanks for your good wishes everyone. On our way and the nerves are kicking in We're going to enjoy every minute - this is a dream for us whatever happens.
All the best with him PD and hope you have a great day whatever the outcome.

Ran a blinder, well done to all concerned.
Thought Kevin had him in front plenty soon enough mind you.
Well done PD, horse didn't let you down.
Well done, Paul.
Well done, Paul. To my naked eye I thought they went a fair gallop, given ground conditions. I think four progressive horses have filled the first four places. I look forward to seeing how they do later this season. This includes Viva Steve who looked an eye catching fourth. Looks decent form, but we'll have to see how it pans out.

Hope you got involved in the forecasts and tricasts, Arch.
No, just a small ew on BoF. Good stats/trends though.
The older I get the better I was.
Cracking run by BoF.
Some supreme forecasting there too Archie! Top work.

As exciting as it gets; a great run by BOF and met Paul , as enthusiastic as you could wish for.
Plenty more to look forward to hopefully .
Top man Archie for the stats.

Well done Paul, a great run.
Little doubt in my mind a good jump 4 out when he really did clout it would have sealed the deal and made all the difference.
Still, must have given you great pleasure, very well done
