    For 'budding' read 'fully-fledged'.

    Disko looking likely to represent Giggi in the King George, with Road To Respect being held back for the old Lexus.

    Should make PJ happy.

    Relatively dry week ahead so don't think it will be any softer than this

    If that going stick reading is correct think it's going to be a bit of a boring race.

    Like a Might Bite schooling session.

    Is it declaration day for the KG today?

    I'm guessing the following are confirmed:

    The Biter
    Whisper
    Disko
    Bristol De Mai
    Top Notch (just in case)
    Tea For Two
    Thistlecrack
    Fox Norton
    God's Own
    Ar Mad

    First three named are your Christmas Trichast.

    That's yer lot.

    Can see Fox Norton doing a 'Sizing John' and winning everything now above 2 miles.
    Just to **** me off, cause I don't rate the horse.

    Thanks for that Grass. Just to put it into perspective, last year (when Mite Bite was on his way to putting up that performance before Jacob’s rush of blood) the going stick reading for the chase course was 7.1. I’d imagine the with a full week of dry weather forecast ahead we’ll be somewhere very near that again this year at the running of the KG.

    In contrast to show you what Bristol de Mai revels in, the going stick readings from his last 2 wins were 5.2 at Wetherby and 4.4 at Haydock for the Betfair Chase. I reckon by the time the latter race was run conditions had deteriorated again as that was an early morning reading and there was rain after.

    The last few times he raced with a going stick reading above 5.5 he was beaten 24L & 20L at Aintree & Cheltenham respectively.

    I think the world of Might Bite - what he did to that field in the RSA before losing concentration was quite extraordinary . If he stands up and runs as straight as he did at Sundown I cannot see him being beaten .

    Think its Tomorrow grass. Don't think Top notch will run (I think you'd rather have him out the way in truth), possibility Thistlecrack goes for the Feltham and hoping that you have the wrong crossed fingers horse down for participation myself. I had it down that it would cut up to 8 runners but hadn't considered they'd run Ar Mad. Any chance they might do a late 360 on Djackadam taking his place in the line up ? He's another who I think you'd rather stay in Ireland Grass.

    Kauto if you don't mind me asking do you record going stick readings yourself or is there somewhere you can find the past readings in the form ?

    Don't think Thistlecrack would be eligible for the Feltham given he won last season.
