I'm just going on the basis that he won't go to Chelts, if he runs like a bag of shit, or is pulled up today.

[Omm]

The New One made that look like hard work, didn't he?

[BigAdz]

Good for us Faugheen backers.

That jumping right business, was the most worrying aspect.

Where has that come from? How does a horse start doing it? Didn't look like a CH winner to me although I know the ground didn't suit.

At least the CC should be good this year!

What do you make of that mate?

Who would you want to be on next time?

Queen Mum is a complete puzzle to me. Who you fancy?

Well, it's hard to tell how much Sprinter will come on for that run, but he looked like he was all over them rounding the final bend.

Dodging Bullets is obviously only dodge by name, and another Nicholl's special.

SdG and DB joint faves?

Champagne Fever probably coming back to 2miles now?

Folks, I'm en route to Ascot to meet up with some bloke called Clarence House. Aside from the big one, does anyone have any thoughts on the day's card?

Yes, take a warm coat - it's bloody freezing down here.

Very hard frost overnight, & it's still -2c.

Thanks. I have a full length number for the journey from the station to the VIP Enclosure.

Are there no standards anywhere, anymore?

Have a great day.

I know Golden Doyen was supposed to get the lads their Xmas money at Chepstow, but bombed. If nothing else, it shows they hold him in high regard.

Pipe tends to do well with these French imports first time  out, and with a tongue tie on fto, he looks to be getting the treatment, in a difficult race. Could be anything or nothing!

If I was ahead by SS time, he gets the lot. If he has gone, he's gone, it won't cost me ever again, but if I let evens go, I would feel sick.

Finally, Mr Nichols, despite being in Barbados, still has to have a Saturday winner, and hopefully, it will be Royal Rebellion, in a race where I could have picked 6.

Tough day, but hopefully you will witness something special.

Racing needs its heroes, cliche.

Oioioioiiiiii!

[Marky147]

Too good, Adz, too good 

[BigAdz]

Lovely.

Why I bother with bloody favs when clearly difficult handicaps are far easier to solve, I never know!

Enjoy the rest mate.

[Tonibell]

Chapeau, in an impossible race, Adz.

Dodging clearly on the improve, and I gather the time was good too.

Should really be fav on that now.

Hendo looked a bit upset immed after, so not sure if hehasa lot left to work on.

Interesting stuff bud.

A horse I have been looking forward to jumping fences makes his debut over the big stuff today.

Waldorf Salad 2.0 Exeter is trained by Venetia Williams and so shouldn't lack from adequate schooling. Its a big old unit that has looked a chaser since i first saw it. It is also quite nicely in on ratings if it can convert hurdle form to chasing.

Im hoping it will be significantly better.

Its currently 16-1, which is actually my only concern, as normally there is money for her horses when fancied.

Lets have a little ew bet just in case.

[BigAdz]

3rd. Backed into 9-1

Jumped beautifully and pretty sure if we had the fully compliment of jumps we would have been lots closer.

Hopefully a few got some ew cash.

Only had pennies on but thank you.
