    Given that I’ve mentioned old favourites I’ve got to back dear old Nietzsche. He’s won on the old course albeit in a hurdle. Backed One for the Team earlier today. Being there when Chief Dan George winning is one of the highlights of my racing life. I’d followed him for ages.

    From my initial look this evening I shortlisted one for the team as well and obviously therefore Aye Right too!
    Shortlist of 9 so will dive deeper Sunday!

    Well if he gets in at the bottom of the weights it will be hard to see how he can be 20/1. On his last run he chased a sucidal pace and paid for it.

    The Shunter #33

    The vibes seem to be he came out of Kelso like the hard race it looked. Will be some blow if he's not ready to run when he'll be thrown in off bottom weight.

    The Shunters chase mark looks far more exploitable to me, I'd be expecting him to run in the 2m4f H'cap on the Thursday if he runs at the festival.

    No. Coral Cup was the plan. 0% he runs Thursday. If the horse needs time they'll run Friday in the county.

    I've gone from excitement to despondency.
    Willie has ten in the coral cup and took out the one I thought might win.at least koshari is still in it.last night I watched a replay of that race and decided maze runner was the one.shows how much I know.at least I got my money back.

    Thankfully poor Aye Right isn't on my radar for the race.

    Aye Right has an obvious chance but is weighted as a result. He’ll be a good horse to win off 154.

    That’s only a pound shy of UTPT’s second win in the race.

    That Naas novice where he jumped to the right continually - Fakiera, Champagne Gold and Fire Attack all come from it, all entered wherever next week and the latter is interesting in the MP if he lines up. This season he's either been held up in slowly run races or asked to chase that daft pace in the Moscow Flyer. Mid div in a strongly run race ideal for him.

    Looks like they're pulling heavy ground dependant horses!
