Thomas Hobson.
"And still they gazed and still the wonder grew. That one small head could carry all he knew.
And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."
I've kept an eye on Thomas Hobson for years, so had to back him this time. And I also always back Wicklow Brave, if only for the fun of wondering if he'll start.
Tiberian and Max Dynamite for me.
The older I get the better I was.

Humidor is the one I like most got a definite chance. Best outsider Hartnell who got a shocking ride last year and like many been trained for this

Spare a thought for David Wachman; first Winter now this !
If ever a man retired a year early......
Racing Post had it right with photos of Joseph, A.P. and Willie on the front page yesterday.
Joseph said he going to enjoy the victory, that must be a first for him.

What he has achieved so far is absolutely amazing -that family are rewriting racing history on a daily basis.
I loved the quote from Grassy's favourite journo; Bruce Millington (though not sure if he takes full credit for it)

I stand corrected! That's what you get for listening to American commentators at midnight and not double checking - I should know better!Vintage Crop was bred in the UK albeit his sire was from the USA and Weld's other winner called Media whatitsname? was bred at Moyglare Stud Farm which is Ireland which is an Island in the Norther hemisphere and the last I heard it is owned by a friend of William Wallace's
