    You’d have to think it will be a straightforward task for PM tomorrow. One to look forward to, certainly.

    Alan King says Yanworth likely to be a JLT or RSA horse this season. Doesn’t think he’s an Arkle horse.

    Huge plus is he can make his own running. Pretty sure Davy won't be waiting around for the dross and will set a good gallop. Slight worry that he did tend to clout the odd one but that field are unlikely to take him out of his comfort zone...fingers crossed he does well and comes home safe

    Might be worth a bet to lay on the machine Luke 12.5 will surely be 7 or less if he puts in a clean round and wins unextended as you would expect.

    Fairly solid back to lay-would be no surprise to see him in single figures for the Arkle before the off tomorrow.

    4 miler if anything. Plodder
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Would be backing Brelade EW if i was in the mood for getting my last remaining online accounts closed. May have to trawl around a couple of shops

    Loved A Sizing Network last time out and he looks a good thing off 124, but 11-4 is a little skinny

    JP has a very interesting selection of runners in that Beginners Chase tomorrow.
    Some will get very very well handicapped and could be worth following on tracker; two were Cheltenham Festival placed( Sort It Out, Scoir Mear) one is a four time hurdle winner (That's A Wrap) and another from the famous Shuil Liss family.(Kilfenora)

    I'd say the cute fcuker knows exactly where he is going

    Mullins has yet to formulate a gameplan for Yorkhill, who features prominently in the betting for races like the Gold Cup and the Champion Hurdle.The seven-year-old has won at the last two Cheltenham Festivals and did really well to take top honours in the JLT Novices' Chase in March.
    That was his fourth Grade One triumph, but plans for Yorkhill remain fluid at this stage.
    Mullins said: "We haven't even started schooling him yet so whether he goes over hurdles or fences I don't know yet.
    "He is in great form."

    I reckon he gives both Faugheen and Yorkhill an entry in the Morgiana.

    If Faugheen runs in it and wins, Yorkie goes back over fences. If Yorkie wins, then a CH tilt almost certain, I'd say, given Mullins generally happy to fire more than one arrow at the race.

    4/6 Petite Mouchoir freely available.If anyone is thinking of lumping on I wouldn't be worried by the drift -I've never known Henry not to have his top class recruits to chasing ready first time out.Sizing Europe started at even money in a novice chase run in the month of May racing against yaks.

    It is interesting that Powers are longest on PM and shortest on Brelade.Do they know something or are they making a book -I say they are making a book.

    Have never liked grey's either (Art excluded). Really setting myself up for a crash following this guy

    In saying that he will win by half the course still on the bit

    Unlike that aptly named surrender chuff monkey Identity Thief
