Can't understand why people who need stupid numbers to work out if a horse is any good or not don't find another sport to follow..........Full contact tiddlywinks would suit you best, you should consider it

I got *** quid on nrnb at 5/1 with a local publican who fancies himself as a bookie but Fox Norton with a 4 length start so he has to win by 4 1/4 lengths or more
Considering he's never won by any less than 6 1/2 lengths I am happy enough as on the 3 occasions Paul Townsend has ridden him he has always won by a long way. and no showboating
Hoping some bookies have something similar going at the weekend..hugely confident Fox Norton hasn't a prayer of beating him

Get off the fence Tanlic
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
If Douvan wins Saturday how do you bet the front two in the Champion Chase?
Depends a little on style of win, but you would probably have to make Douvan fave over Altior, given the latter's absence.

If Min was going the 2-mile route, he would have gone to the Tingle Creek or Hilly Way, I reckon.
Could be switched back if Douvan blows, I suppose, but I reckon Min is (one of) their Ryanair horses, along with UDS and Yorkhill (who could still run in Champion Hurdle).

Mullins essentially a creature of habit. If all goes well with Douvan in Tingle Creek, he'll be rested over Xmas, and take in the Tied Cottage before the Champion Chase.
I'm guessing Min goes to Thurles for the Kinloch Brae in January, ahead of a Ryanair bid.

I've backed Fox Norton for the Tingle Creek purely because I don't think Douvan will turn up.
With the weather forecast including strong winds, rain and snow, I'm not sure that I'd be travelling my best horse over.
The older I get the better I was.
I am really going to smack the both of you To the Irish that's good holiday weather

My advise is to back him as soon as he is declared not like me.......After the lay off they will want things to be perfect and they could pull out

He would need to supplement Min for the King George (I assume that's permitted?), as he was not entered.
Chances of him running at Kempton are next to zero, I'd say.
