    Dunno yet. Which ones are the interesting ones according to you?

    Overturn @20's I'd find hard to turn down. I love a good pacey front runner

    He is pretty interesting but I'd wait to see what the ground is like for him. I haven't got a clue myself and probably wait until decs or the day.

    Grandouet is a group 1 winner and would have had another had he not been brought down at Aintree when travelling much stronger than Zarkander.
    He has won on soft before but would prefer good-soft.

    The negatives are that he needed the run last year on his seasonal reappearance and he doesn't seem to quite get up the hill at Cheltenham, but he is still only four and I am hoping he has matured the last few months.

    10's is a very fair price.

    Not a betting race for me I don't think,not the biggest fan of backing horses who haven't had a run

    Moon Dice for me, he is anything upto 12lbs well in with most of these, he beat The Real Article by 8 leanghts giving him 8 pounds in the Galway Hurdle and that form has been boosted since, yet he gets in carrying 10-6.

    Had another look at this last night and while I am still very sweet on Moon Dice, I will have an e/w saver on A Media Luz, this horse has had its fair share of bad luck, and often struggles to settle in a race but if things were to fall into place for this one she could be a major player, too many question marks over her to fully support her and I have been burned more than once but she was very classy on the flat and has at time looked like a star in the making.

    Was told off a reliable source Sunday night that connections expect Moon Dice to win. Told me to get on best price 20's as it would be gone very soon. Got 12's Monday morning but best price i can find is 7's now. So thats a bit too short now i suppose in a trappy race.
