    Looks a penalty kick for MB, and it'd be madness not to run him, IMVHO.

    Do you not reckon Native River will run then? Think Hendo has said the plan is to run him, ground dependant.

    If it's soft though I can see the we didn't want to give him a hard race on Haydock ground a month from Kempton update on his Unibet blog.

    Good to soft will do but he wont beat native River even if it's good ground. Get a way too much credit for a horse who beat ziltch in the King George and was brushed aside with ease in the Gold Cup........

    Away wi ye, Fist. Native River would get humped by The Biter over 3m, on ground that’s remotely decent.

    Should Native River really be 10/3 and 3/1? Given he's likely to lead this must be the easiest back to lay of all time.

    Not my kind of bet but sounds like picking up money but you might have to lay off earlier than expected. I reckon this will be run at Gold Cup pace and can see him pressed earlier than usual. Those with eyes on the big bonus will be 100% ready for this; they can't afford not to be.

    Might Bite's best form was when he went on some way out and took the others right out of their comfort zone. They opted out of that tactic in the Gold Cup because of the ground but it will be good on Saturday and I anticipate a return to a forceful final mile. My genuine worry is who will ride. I couldn't back MB with McGrath up after last weekend.

    Daryl Jacob rode him on two occasions a couple of years ago when Nico was out of action.

    Can't see the prices changing much until the writing is on the wall and by that time you won't want to be laying.


    Might Bite is 6 from 7 since falling in the Feltham but when it's really mattered he's failed to impress.


    His King George win was well below what was expected of him by his multitude of fans and he was easily disposed of by Native River.

    I don't give him a hope in hell of reversing the Gold Cup form at Haydock

    He made it easy at the weekend for me to strike out henderson runners - not one of his best weeks

    Can't understand how Mcgrath still has a job at seven barrows. James Bowen far better.
    Might Bite is an absolute cert though on better ground at the weekend.

    Good renewal.

    What's the weeks weather to be up North?
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
