If any of the fav's are beatable, what's beating them ?

Thing is i carnt see any other horse beating him. I fancied big bucks in the first race, but to be fair its not even worth putting on with them odds.

Baby Run 9/2 in the Fox hunters

Was running a big race again when unseating same again would go close today.

Get Me Out Of Here 10/1 EW and 9/4 place in the last.

Only just made it to Cheltenham after having the wind op which seemed to do it the world of good as he was back to his best, reckon he might start go on and improve like was expected after the 2nd to Menorah, don't think the 5lbs would stop it if the improvement is there got to have a massive place chance at least.

Mon Parrain @ 5/1 for tomorrows Topham Chase was impressive on debut jumped really well, has been schooled over national type fences at home and sits on a nice handicap mark based on its rating it ran to last time.

Big Buck's in the first nice single, added with Grandouet and Denman for a quid treble. Still thinks BB can do it, but would have a bigger bet just don't think this is BB's 100% ideal track. Grands Crus cannot be underestimated.

Zarkandar has done nothing but impress me, but Grandouet is also a horse I like. 5L to make up but you never know.

He laughed at them haha

Had a reverse forecast on Big Bucks and Grands Crus in that one, cracking start!


1400 Big Buck's, Grands Crus
1430 Grandouet, Zarkander
1505 Denman (NAP), Punchestown
1540 Turko, Fort View
1615 Tchico Polos, Sportsline
1650 Medermit, Wishful Thinking
1725 Sire Collonges, Bothy

Big Buck's


That was breathtaking, how confident Ruby was is absolute testament to the horse.
Hopefully the Grands Crus fan club will now give up.

Sea The Stars on the flat, now Big Buck's over hurdles.
I feel blessed to have been in the same generation as two superstars.

EW 25p Lucky 15
Grand Crus
Grandouet
Carole's Legacy
Turko

Don't know where he woulda finished, but Grandouet was starting to get into his stride when brought down. Such luck.

Don't think it would of gone with the other two.

Lay matched at 2.5

Winner as well

Favs are going well which is strange for Aintree

Unsure if he would have found anything else but was really starting to look as if he was motoring.

Zarkandar will be put away til autumn now surely, looked tired towards the end and a bit flat. The way they battled out the finish at Cheltenham, no wonder.

Did same at Cheltenham though which is why I laid it good to see it get up though.

Yeah only reason I thought that was because Henderson said before the race Aintree should suit better and they nearly skipped Cheltenham to come here fresh.

Fingers crossed better luck for Denman than his last run at the track.

Nacarat was quality, always been evident he liked a flat track. Denman never really looked to be going in top gear.

Makes me feel slightly less bothered about Grandouet now, but it was only a quid treble, with the real money on Big Buck's.

Can't believe how terrible Punchestowns has been over fences. Nothing, just nothing on his hurdle form.
Denman owes nobody anything, he maybe does have a few races left but can't see him winning many more. Whether it isn't his track, Cheltenham took too much out of him, over the top etc, it doesn't matter. Put him out to grass, would be nothing worse than something bad happening.

William Hill tweeted before a punter put £50,000 in cash on Denman at 5/4 in a Watford store this afternoon

Pretty awful luck today so far. Had Palawi and Grandouet in the 2nd race and one brought down the other. Had Carole's Legacy who ran well.

Royal Charm in the next.

The fat bloke that does the BBC coverage with John Parrot (forgotten his name) said that. Did they thrown that much money on Denman after giving the race an entire 10 seconds consideration?

Parrot had a copy of a betting slip that someone had put on Big Buck's and Denman, 20k double.


Not bothering til tomorrow keeping my winnings for Saturday. Would be nice to see Master Minded bounce back with a win tomorrow but it looks a live race.

Cheers Uncle stan for going top price



Can't believe Wishfull Thinking went off 9/4 awesome jumper still think but one mistake the Jewson was his.

Denman let me down for a very tiday sum



Still 4 winners and a lay not bad for Aintree

Binocular is 5/2 for the Aintree Hurdle on Saturday



Hasn't had a tough race like Peddlers Cross because of Hendersons up and he needs to make up for that here, all the noises before Cheltenham from McCoy were good and was 11/4 before being pulled out, McCoy again has been saying he's on top form, its got a great cruising speed like the Fly I don't think the extra distance will be a problem.

Peddlers Cross should be an Even money shot, worth steaming into IMO.

2.00

A Media Luz 8/1 and 2/1 place

Need to forgive its last run at Cheltenham when it was pulled up, shes shown that she has alot of talent, being a speed horse I think Aintree should suit better (ran to 101 on the flat) she also gets just under a stone in weight off 9 of the other 14 horses which is a massive amount to have on her side if she runs near her best form.

Want to back Master Minded in the Melling but going to wait and see if soft is in the ground tomorrow

You also thought it would win the Champion hurdle



Peddlers might get smashed into over the next 48 hours but Binocular at 5/2 is huge for me, very like the Fly IMO would of been very interesting to of seen the two battle it out as I said on here I thought those two would be hard held coming up the home straight but it ended up being just Hurricane Fly doing it, of course am having to trust McCoys word that he's at his best but if he is I reckon he will stalk Peddlers Cross and do him for toe on the run for home.

Meh. £1.70 back from my Lucky 15 ha.
