    No hope of Samcro v Laurina unfortunately but the 2 mile race should be good.
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Shaping up to be a great meeting.

    Would love to see Faugheen in the Champion Stayers, and Min in the Champion Hurdle.

    For what it's worth Johnny ward reckons Samcro will run in the Punch champion hurdle.

    What's the ground looking like being? Sharjah is 20s for the novice on the opening day, would be a bet if the ground was decent.

    Willie saying Douvan will run in CC, Great Field has that as an option but also Sandown. Non committal on Laurina. Faugheen either CH or Stayers hurdle.

    all taken with a pinch ofc

    Douvan, Min and UDS in CC. No Great Field.

    Great Field is a bummer alright.

    UDS has little left, Min is headless. Douvan should take this with ease.
