    I'm surprised no one cared to mention the performance of Saint Calvados.

    He reminds me of Ar Mad only potentially better

    Jumps like a stag, has a big engine and could lead them a merry gallop in the Arkle.

    He may not be good enough to trouble Sceau Royal or Footpad but he deserves a crack at it if they fancy entering him

    You can't expect a busy man like Fist to read every post FFS!!

    And don't forget the time difference..........Fist lives in a bygone age.
    Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......

    I'd be surprised if we seen Bacardys at the festival at all, sure he was hampered last year but he didn't look overly in love with the track as it is.
    RSA looks a hell of tough puzzle to solve - Monalee looks a classic false fav- the reynoldstown and the Moriarty should tell us plenty

    If Al Boum Photo runs well it'll be interesting to see which of him and Invitation Only head for the Rsa/JLT.

    I've kind of come round to Fountains Windfall. If you watch the Feltham again he was just starting to roll and put Black Corton under pressure when he landed poorly and came down.

    No doubt Fountains Windfall would have taken care of Black Corton had he stayed on his feet.

    Is pricewise still a thing?

    I find him to be a boring git with generic opinions anytime I hear him speak on the RP pod
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    He's been throwing shyte at the wall for years in the hope some sticks and it does occasionally and he only needs one winner from 10 or 20 selections to show a profit at posted prices

    Doubt if anyone actually makes money following him as you can never get on at the price he puts up

    Throwing shyte against a wall is a fair description.

    Geared up enough to tow Footpad up to the second last I reckon.

    Footpad is no Douvan so I imagine it certainly won't be a walkover and a mini upset could be on the cards if he does have him fit

    Would be great for the Arkle market, as well as Saturday's racing in it's own right, if it's a tight finish between the two.

    Otherwise we could end up with a Tuesday where yet again there's three extremely short priced favs.
