    The wheels must have come off Un De Sceaux for Ruby to be ridning that thing or in this case I am being a bad judge. I gove Footpad Zero chance and Monalee is the Nap

    Ryanair

    Great ride super horse

    Un de Sceaux looked threatening but I don’t think he gets this trip on soft ground .

    Great little horse and a great ride from Bryony .I don’t think uDS gets the trip in the soft after looking ominous turning in.

    Elegant Escape e/w tickles my fancy for GC tomorrow now. Problem is Tizzard isn't firing at all.

    Just wow! Brilliant race from a brilliant combination. This girl is just class. Only a couple of years ago I was interviewing her at point to points and she's every bit as bubbly. You cannot fail to be warmed by her enthusiasm. She has this incredible empathy with a horse. It's not about strength, it's about the chemistry and the confidence she gives them.

    Fine race and great positive exposure for racing

    Disappointed with how Monalee run but full credit to Bryony and what a horse that is
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Joe Tizzard very confident in his chances.

    Yes Monalee was disappointing .

    Big boost for Clan des Obeaux - PN didn’t really dissent when asked if Frodon was being diverted from the GC because he could not beat CDO.

    Nicholls seldom gets it wrong so CDO must have a real shout. I'd still have been happy with my Frodon bet for the Gold Cup.

    So glad I went, and I only went for that race really as there are really too many people for me - but absolutely fabulous to watch and enjoy, although the nerves were almost as bad as watching one of mine. She really is a star. Just brilliant. Read an interview with Nicholls this morning where he said he tells her she's yaps too much. Advice from a man so good with female relationships. SHUT UP you idiot! She's the best thing to happen to you for YEARS!

    She certainly has a machine-gun delivery when interviewed. She must use up huge amounts of nervous energy but it makes for compulsive interviewing. She's very articulate with it.

    Not bitter or owt but those were some ****, reactive tactics on Monalee. He was well below form.

    Every credit to those that fancied and backed Frodon.

    Bigger boost for Cyrname over the last few days - absolutely battered the second in the Champion Chase and Ryanair now. King George looking like it could be one hell of a race.

    Yes. I hadn't really been following the betting for a while 'cos I was happy with my ante-post bets but when I saw 11/2 yesterday I had to back it.

    I'm still hopeful Might Bite will come back to his best.

    If I remember right he didn't seem to be firing last year before he won the GC either...
