    Min amazingly still 14/1 for the Ryanair with Hills. Surely has to be the target.

    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Is it because his daddy was 2nd in the Derby and his daddy won the Arc.

    lost once in his uk career to what many consider to be the best horse in training when he was a) a baby b) highly rumoured to have got injured in the run

    form of the 3rd horse in that race has worked out pretty well too

    has won every chase effortlessly so far and looks a fine jumper

    there's clear potential he could go right to the very top but i'd worry about his fragility

    fair chance we'd be looking at the arkle winner if he'd got there 100% last march

    Hills have clipped Min into 12's for Ryanair, and now in line with a couple of others at top-price.

    Has anyone heard whether or not Charbel goes back over fences? He seems big at 25s for the Tingle Creek.

    He'll win more this year being cleverly placed over hurdles than he will fencing

    He added all was well with Faugheen and Douvan, who were both out today. He confirmed he is "leaning towards" coming to England with Douvan for the Tingle Creek.
    hope he leans all the way and brings him over

    Special Tiara 25/1 with Sky Bet. As at least 2 or 3 at the top of the market aren't likely to run That price each way is something each way that isn't easily ignored. Ran a decent race behind Fox Norton the other day in ground be predominantly dislikes.

    Douvan might go for the King George is he hacks up in the Tingle Creek........Never thought I'd see the day outside of the Gold Cup he'd be odds against.

    2.2 to beat Fox Norton is the bet of the decade if he runs at Sandown

    You again make lots of bullish statements for a horse yet to beat a 165 chaser or a 155 hurdler. Chill and enjoy watching his return, stop hyping him like they shouldn't even race. Fox Norton will have everything in his favour while Douvan's first race of the seaon, from an injury, I'd say the odds are about right for these reasons.
