Patrick Mullins all but confirmed, Douvan would have won on the bridle for me with Altior closing. Just hope the horse is okay now.

Douvan would have won that, nd that's me saying that balls deep in Altior. Douvan was cruising to say the least.

It isn't allowed anymore. 1 race only at the festival now.

Really fancied Special Tiara to get placed in this, having looked at the waterlogged track I'm much less confident than I once was.

My first thought. Declare him then pull him out due to the ground, not willing to run him on heavy the first race of the season.

Some race now this. Aslong as ST places I don't mind. Got Altior at evens, Got a feeling he mat even go off bigger than that now. Min around 4s, Douvan 9/4 Altior 11/8 I reckon.

Anyone have a think if Douvan doesn't go they would send UDS and stick Yorkhill in the Ryanair? I'll be ******* ill if they do.

Won't make a difference for this or the Ryanair, but Fox Norton out for the season.

Douvan entered over 2m4f this weekend and price crumbling for the Ryanair.
I called this in September, just guess not under these circumstances.

Explain the run against UDS. Special Tiara is a very under rated horse, mainly because he never gets his wanted ground.
Will place in this race, definately won't be challenging Altior though.

How far does he win the Champion Chase by? That's going to be the best market to look at now.

25/1 each way, 3 places with sky bet not so long ago. With question marks about the top of he market, his loving for spring ground, I couldn't think of better each way value if i tried.

Anyone reckon we'll actually see Douvan this season?

I certainly wouldn't be offering that. However the likely good of him going is next to 0.

Bet365 have stuck Douvan back in the market NRNB at 7s.

Would anyone stick UDS back over this? Would he have a chance? Would he even beat Min?

I personally would, and of no Douvan he's the best chance WPM has of winning this race for me.

If he brought Douvan back now there would be up roar, especially he we saw him in the Champion Chase.

Why does it always seem to be the horses that run in pink and green that are 'not quite right' most of the time?

Is his company profiting from releasing news that the horses are fine then suddenly...

Ruby not say after the race he was going to pull him at 3 out for an injury? Just what i read. Not been all that impressed by Altior since either, not say he's.a load of tosh as that'd be complete...

Took 25s or 20s (can't remember) e/w the other week about Special Tiara. Still 20s now. That has got to be the bet of century? Most in the market above him will drop out and I'm still not convinced...

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...

Sure he just said Fox Norton is as good as Kauto Star. Could be wrong mind, and hope I am.

It's wouldn't be a National Hunt season without Ruby Walsh cruising to the last having not touched his horse, which is an odds on shot, and falls offs.
I've still never forgiven him for Annie Powers...

Anything here to trouble Altior? Does Douvan run in this? I selfishly hope not as I've backed him for the Ryanair, but would love to see the two take each other on.

I have my doubts about Douvan...
