    Aye, I'm disappointed to see Solomon Grey scratched but I didn't back him anti-post so nothing lost.

    I'm pleased to see Dream Berry declared for The Martin Pipe. If Jonjo has him fit and ready he'll run a big race. I guarantee it.

    Lets get today and tomorrow out the way first though anyway.

    Patrick.

    Hard to consider him now
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    That must be very hard to take poor bloke .

    i suspect , if they do not withdraw Douvan - Townend will ride and David Mullins will be reunited with Min.

    Patrick has ridden him before but for a horse that delicate, I wouldn't let him near him.

    If Douvan wins now, it will be Arkle who?

    Brutal luck for him - only back for that to happen. Have to wonder how much more he can take, all the best to him.

    No need for them. whippy Mullins is equivalent of 4 cups.

    Why ride a 5/1 chance when you can ride something half the price??
