    I'm really keen on Western Ryder at 33's. Course form and has the beating of several of this weeks fancied runners..Also narrowly misses out on my 'horses that have placed in previous years' list, having come 5th in the bumper. It's just annoying that Getabird and Sharjah have form on heavy also. And Us and Them falls into the 'ignore Joseph O'Brien at your peril' system.

    They've been racing on rotten ground since November, at least it's been constant. We won't have the issue of certain horses improving massively for spring ground.

    Very true, tiggers.

    You can’t legitimately spend years complaining about unrepresentative ground at the Festival, only to then complain that it’s gone totally against your ‘spring-ground’ picks.

    It is what it is, and plenty should go on it OK - there’s nothing much to see here, imo.

    That said, I hope to fu*ck it quickens-up in time for the Biter on Friday.

    I presume with that post Digger has managed to get hold of Grassy's phone or computer.

    Never a doubt.

    Does anyone know what bookies apps or Mobile version of websites on phone give you a 'full screen' video when watching a race?

    For example I know Betfair and Bet365 do NOT for sure. It's just a small screen that can't be expanded to full screen. I'm nearly sure some bookies apps give you a full screen option - but if anyone could confirm which ones that would be great?

    Basically looking ahead to the last 2 races not on ITV and having a proper live stream i can mirror onto my tv. Thanks.

    Have you not got the app Mobdro? That generally streams all the sports.

    I do yes, but it's a 30 second delay on real time (at best). Need something real time live for in play betting purposes

    My Tent another Hendo NR, that's quite a few in the last week from that yard, would be a real shame if he has a bug in the yard.
    Unlikely I know but I really hope all the horses stand their ground in the Champion Chase as it would by a race sent from the heavens!

    I only discovered a few weeks ago DH that if you double tap the screen on the Bet 365 video it does indeed expand to full screen!

    Think SkyBet is full screen as well.

    If you’re UK based I recommend getting the ITV player app for the first 5 races.

    On Skybet if you turn your phone round (landscape) it goes full screen, not sure how that would work casting to a tv though
