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

    Tamaroc Du Mathan impressive today.

    Looks like one who needs more time to fill out. In the right hands.

    Shishkin backers can be pleased

    I can't find any recent comments from connections on the exact destination of Royale P and Latest Ex. I'm presuming RR won't bother monkfish in the RSA and that Nolan is sick looking at Monkfishes arse disappearing over the horizon - any insight appreciated - thanks.

    Discorama ran in the NH chase in his novice season.

    He has never run in the Irish national.

    Which was trained by Harrington so not particularly relevant here I would have thought.

    There has been a steady flow of money for Royale Pegaille for the NHC over the last 48 hours or so, but haven't seen or heard anything official.

    Probably due to the uncertainty around Galvin and if he’s NRNB why not get stuck in, if the Elliott horse(s) may be absent

    Galvin isn't Giggi so no reason to miss the meeting if fit and well.

    That's a shame. He's a really top class horse but I fancy Shishkin would have hammered him.

    Aintree, maybe?

    I had a longshot for the race but genuinely feared the top three would have been just too good. This will shake up the market quite a bit.
