    Patrick said it will happen on Irish radio tonight and that the Irish National winner could be a good cup horse next year.

    What's this big two bollocks. I give Bellshill more than a squeak of beating both on a more suitable track

    Ones just won a grade one by 9 lengths & the other has just won the Gold Cup.
    Think it's fair to say they are the main two here & would hardly call it bollocks.

    I reckon Euro is enjoying the gripping Premier League title chase between City, Liverpool and Crystal Palace.

    They have mentioned watering and their are some pockets of rain about and due

    Ground will definitely have some good in it.
