    ok, no idea whats wrong with that but have merged the 2 threads together to create a page 8 and its just page 7 that can't bee seen, so although one page is missing all the other posts are ok, and people can post now and see whats being posted. Not ideal but better than nothing

    Yanworth confirmed for this.

    Has to be a danger.

    Pardon me ? That would be great news if that's the case as I have some nice positions Ante-post but I was only reading about 2 days ago that that were thinking the Ultima Buisness was the better option. Listening to these guys could send you puddled.

    Ye mate I've just read it but was sort of in disbelief as its the first piece of good news for my Ante-post book that I've had for a while and having read what I'd read the other day I'd sort of excepted I'd not get a run for my dough.

    Read that Long House Hall is going back over hurdles to contest the Coral Cup also hoping this turns out to be bollocks and he goes for the Plate.

    That would surprise me on the face of it for Long House Hall. Thought he ran a screamer at Doncaster on his return on ground he would have hated.
    Looked the perfect prep run to go for the Plate of 146. (He's still currently 25/1 for the Plate NRNB with 365)
    He has same mark over hurdles and was 2nd in a coral cup 2016 off 6lbs lower. Surely at his age and how many hurdle runs he's had he is exposed over hurdles and not that well Handicapped?
    And he's not even in any betting lists for the coral cup at the moment. He does however have an Entry for the Grand National at 100/1 (Currently no.48 on the list so should get in?)

    That what they said DH that they'd use the Coral Cup as a prep for the National but then said he might go to the Sefton. I really like the horse but wouldn't see him as a National type tbh looked like he didn't get home at Doncaster and was travelling extremely well. Could put it down to race fitness I suppose but normally goes well off a break.

    I see Beer Goggles hasn't a Festival entry. Does anybody know his status, my internet searches loses him after he left the Woolacott stable after the tragedy.

    And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."

    Gone back with his owners who are point to point trainers. They are taking over the training of him. They said they may aim him at Aintree instead as he had a small niggle put right which may have been the cause him of him hanging right handed at Cheltenham. They didn't know if it was that or the fact they are always on the turn there so looks like Aintree for him.

    Tweak to his back rather than niggle apologies my memory is never that good and I'm in the middle of getting ready for work.

    Almost landed.

    Fine performance. Some performance to get that to win fto.

    Ruby wasn't going to be on the winner.

    14 horses within 3 lengths of each other 2 furlongs out ! Sam spinner set much too sedate a pace for a horse that stays all day . Wholestone finishing third tells you all you need to know .

    Agree -Darryl Jacobs said it was the biggest balls of a race he ever rode in.

    If that's the case then he should have clung to the rail instead of trying to circle the whole field coming to the foot of the hill

    Shocked by how the race panned out pace wise.
    All comers, all grounds, all beaten!

    This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.

    Colliver clearly bottled it - worrying about going too fast he went too slow
