Step 1 - He's entered anyway [emoji6]
Excellent thanks DG
Do you know when the entries are out for the rest of the card, Roger?
In particular the 2m H'Cap chase on the Thursday 8th April ;)
Yes based on my expectations, but also realtive to the market and the huge support some horses came in for.
The performance of some of them had to be well below expectations of the stable too.
And still, I thought a lot of his underperformed significantly. In a lot of the H'caps anyway. Granted Mount Ida won and The Bosses Oscar was an admirable.2nd. But outside of those 2, and without...

Might be typical NJH covert comments, but I happened to see some of the Unibet Cheltenham preview (for my sins) and Nicky was very much saying that the Ultima was a Grand National warm up fitness...
Can't believe they had 10mm overnight. That's way more than was in any forecast!
Today looks completely dry on all forecasts with decent temperatures, wind and a bit of sunshine.
Be interesting to...
Will the chat room be available on Tapatalk?
Hills are 5 places for the Champion hurdle - after todays declarations and only 10 runners. Quite generous.
All the 'Yellow' gone already from New and Old Course - just a small bit of soft left on parts of the CC.
Looking like 4mm rain this evening - but then very little thereafter.
Warm, Sunny and windy...
Saldier and Blue Lord no longer WPM options for the County Hurdle.
Ganapathi is going to be very popular now.
There was 7mm of rain last night. And that only put a few spots on the course to soft. It's still good to soft in the main right now.
There's only another 8mm due over the next 6 days. That's...
It's been plenty dry with a strong wind in the main. So it's drying out very fast. The rain has been intermittent and was only ever going to be quantities that the track could more than handle.

*Edit* just saw your screenshot at the same time I asked.

Saw on Twitter there the no. of entries for each H'cap race at the festival. Numbers very low based on recent years.
No doubt Slim is all over this already.
Do we get the List of horses...
He still Won :p
Very Rare I cheer a horse over the last hurdle that vigorously, without a penny on. Really enjoyed that today. Great to finally see that spark again that we saw in the triumph last year. Champion...
