    I checked for forecast for the area earlier. Looks generally dry with spits and spots now and again, slightly more so on Wednesday. Probably no more than about 5mm all in.

    If the forecast is right...

    Relief for those backing the horse, of which I am one.

    Piled in early, think Native River Will be a N/R

    CDO is hocking odds...10/1 that's 1/4 roi if placed 2nd...he'd be lucky

    He'll be dropped out if they have any sense and try and nick 3rd about a fence behind the big 2

    Native River looks bound to serve it up to MB tomorrow, but I doubt he'll trouble him over this track and ground. Looks a laydown f/c however, and have taken 4.06 to supplement the 3's I took on MB when the race opened.

    Don't know if it's only me but I'll watch this with relish. Don't need to have a bet

    I might not have a bet in the race because my figures differ markedly from official ones and this might serve to resolve the differences one way or another.

    I do think MB will toy with Native River who, for me, remains seriously over-rated. As over-rated as Dawn Run was

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

    You need to concentrate more on your maths.

    Good race that. MB went out like a light. Wonder what that GC could have done to both the top 2

    Bristol a dude at Haydock. No surprise he served it to em.

    Native has run a blinder in what wouldn't be his bag.

    Shame about Bite.
    All comers, all grounds, all beaten!

    This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.

    I had Bite winning Gold Cup, ain't so sure anymore. Road To Respect tickles my fancy now.

    I don't think I'll have another bet at Haydock for the rest of the season. Too many strange goings-on through the races.

    Those fences looked big today - that was a serious test for some of them first time out
