    I see Klassical Dream entered for the Champion Hurdle and the Stayers Hurdle.

    Also last season's Triumph winner Burning Victory is entered in the mare's Hurdle.

    Shisken is entered in the 2m novice chase but I can't see him running.

    Hendo said that was it for the season regarding Shiskin on Saturday.

    I'm sure I read that Laurina had an entry for Punchestown, moved from Nicholls to someone else that I hadn't heard of before,

    Tiger Roll has an entry in the Ladbrokes Gold Cup against the winners of the last three Cheltenham Gold Cups as well this year's Ryanair Chase winner.

    I'd have thought that they'd see the Stayers Hurdle as an easier option for The Storyteller but Easy Game could well run if he's working well.

    I logged in expecting to find pages of comments on the Monkfish v Envoi Allen match....has to be the biggest thing since Kauto v Denman but for some reason there's little or no interest...Anyway I reckon Monkfish could be grossly overrated despite him looking the part so far. He looks huge..maybe even too big whereas Envoi Allen looks a compact bundle of class..Monkfish is fav but I am on the side of Envoi Allen who I ecpect to win easily...I did say the same about Kauto so nothing to say I an not wrong again...either way this is the race of the season imo
