    I was there is 1975 when Fitz was about 5 years old and that was a complete bog But guess what? It never stopped class showing through, Summerville, Brown Lad, Comedy of Errors, Broncho II, Ten Up, Bannow Rambler, Davy Lad are just a few of the horses who won in the worst ground imaginable..

    Marking my card I don't get the same vibes about Getabirs as I did with others from the Mullins Yard so I reckon he's beatable. He certainly should have his work cut out against the Betfair Winner Kalashnikov.

    I really don't have an opinion on the Arkle which could go any way. You would imagine the ex champion Hurdle contenders are better than St Calvados but there's no real way of telling. Ruby swings me slightly as he reckon he wants to have sex with a Footpad.

    OO Seven has been there or there abouts all season but hasn't finished his races.......that could change today EW

    Buveur I would have bet to beat Faugheen in his hay day so can't oppose him......I did also have an ew bet but it's a secret

    Apples Jade looks the biggest certainty of the meeting..............Just don't do an Annie

    I was going to back Mossbank and I still might but after the ride Lisa Oneill gave Venitien De Mai the other day I have no confidence in her.

    After watching Paul Townsend take his mounts wide away from the bog on the inner and winning just about every race the stupid woman does what? I just sat there in disbelief and as sure as hell she gets beat in a photo

    The last is easy Barney Dwan Pertempts runner up won his 2 novice chases......gotta go close

    Didn't realise Apple's Jade is still allowed to run in the Stayers on Thursday, even if she starts in today's race.

    An early mishap today could bring that about I guess ?

    Summerville Boy - BOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Now I can relax and enjoy Cheltenham
    Pluralism of Ideas and the prosperity of any land are intertwined. Freedom of minds and skill of intellect to 'think the unthinkable' is how humanity has progressed; when minds are incarcerated nothing endures.

    Same ride he gave him in the Betfair, see nothing wrong with it personally. Had he ran in a straight line he would have won on the run. Saying that had Summerville Boy not made them errors he'd have been a 6 length winner.
