Mares Hurdle : BENIE Des DIEUX looks very hard to beat .

Ballymore: Envoi Allen also looks strong challenger.

Champion Chase : could be the race of the festival if
Defi Du Seuil, Chacun Pour Soi and ALTIOR stand their ground.

Cross Country: sure we will all be on Tiger Roll on way to National.

Bumper : normally a 10/1 the field but Appreciate It could change that trend.

Stayers : Paisley Park remains the festival banker.

The Gold Cup and Champion Hurdle remain very open at this stage as do many of the races highlighted above.

More to follow as we count down the days to the OFF........

Good Punting

Thought i would just follow on this thread
We did catch the Newbury treble.
Not sure if it was on TT ?
Altior did win and show that nice turn off foot at the end, however DEFI would be my first choice for the Chase.
I was impressed by Native River with a bold front running display and must come into the Gold Cup picture.

MOMF sure you also building up a nice festival kitty, well done.

Might Bite might take on Tiger Roll in the cross country?

The Grand National hopefuls will know their weights today.

Racing Post....

Tiger Roll is not certain to take on his date with destiny in the Randox Health Grand National, with trainer Gordon Elliott first needing to convince the superstar's owners they are wrong to be "very disappointed" with the handicapper's treatment of the dual Aintree champion.

A place alongside the legendary Red Rum awaits the sport's most popular horse if Michael O'Leary's general 5-1 favourite can become only the second animal ever to capture horseracing's most iconic prize on three occasions.

To achieve that place in the record books Tiger Roll will have to defy joint-topweight of 11st 10lb but, more significantly, a rating of 170, which BHA handicapper Martin Greenwood has compressed by only one pound, a figure far less than O'Leary's brother, Eddie, had lobbied for in recent weeks.

Some cracking racing today - let's hope they race.

Best bet would have to be at Gowran Park in the form of Real Steel - should win at 1/1

Over as Ascot, I fancy Sporting John(11/10) and Pym(5/2) and of course the only horse to beat Altior should get back to winning ways in the Ascot Chase.

An absolute shitty day over in the UK as Alsa Mix and the great Kachy both lost their lives today.

Thank heavens Cyrname is up after his terrible fall.

Yes MOMF a terrible day.

In Ireland (Navan) they will have to handle storm Dennis and hopefully we will be able to watch the return of TIGER ROLL, it will be heavy to soft.
To be fair it won’t be easy after a few set backs including a small knee chip .
The connections are hoping for a decent run from the back and running on at the finish.
The betting is in the region of
Kilfenora 5/2
Magic of Light 3/1 a safer option
Tiger Roll 4/1 should be bigger but punter sentiments and the 5 euro betting voucher will be on the hero.
Penhill 5/1.

I did mention previously but the 35 euro covers entrance, race card, 5 euro punt, Tiger beef roll and bottle of Tiger beer

Enjoy, Punting or not.

Mixed feelings re: Tiger Roll comeback.

It was traveling really well 3 fences out and ran out of steam in 5th place about 14 lenghts behind stable companion.

The bookies were impressed and shortened for cross country to around 12/10 from 5/2
The national remains around 6/1

Looked a decent comeback
