Didn't stay. Look how far he was ahead of the rest and how they all caught him up.

Travelled better than the rest for the last half mile, just got outstayed.

And if it had gone the extra half mile in the RSA it would still be going up and down now!!!!

Wouldnt it just.

I'm not shocked Jonjo has a habit of hiding one away and producing them at the festival, especially 3m+ handicaps

Barry Geraghty looks a shoe in to me to be top jockey
Even 6/4 looks pretty generous to retain his title
Will be going on a bit closer to the festival though so lets hope he stays fit and uninjured..

Geraghty is 5/4 with Paddy Power and Walsh is 3/2. Walsh has the best of Nichols and Mullins and I think out of them he will just get enough winners to be champion jockey. I am guessing Walsh 7 winners to Geraghty's 6 winners. 1 in it.

As for Ireland v UK dont know would normally take any bet on but as I have said before not working so any bets would be foolish of me to take on. So mark sadly I will refuse the bet.

I think Irish winners depending on how well the first day goes that Irish trained winners could well get into high numbers even double figures.

regretting that decision yet L?

I dont regret anything Lawman and you should know that. The bookies like me must of seen the Irish talent as well and thats why they quoted me only 6/4 for 10 winners or more. Another big price Irish winner today Cooper is on Our Conor who I done anti post tomorrow as well so hopefully Cooper has the taste for winning at Cheltenham. Lovely to hear the praise for the young jockey as well by connections and Mick Fitz.

Didn't manage to get a bet on, but you may notice in I tipped Holywell in the Tipster comp thread - grrrrr!!

I wouldn't touch any of the others based on my track record though :D

Hope he's ok for his chance on Sir Des Champs tomorrow, great jockey finally getting the recognition he deserves

Collapsed lung. Might be out for a while.

Keep changing my mind on the World Hurdle. Few horses on there that love the mud and a stamina test.

On the ground i'd be on Oscar Whisky, but will he stay...
