    God, I wish I was American, I would eat all the tastiest food and wait until I was 600lbs, then have a cry on telly, get a free gastric band operation and then start eating again.

    I drank all day at the track. 12 pints or so. Worthingtons is bland. But carling is much worse. I will feel this tomorrow. Flying home after the foxhunters. I am butchered.

    Carling is sickening muck

    Had the misfortune of trying Crean's on the Aer Lingus flight over. God it's p!ssy sh!te. Simple can't drink lager any more, tasteless puke compared to a decent craft stout or IPA.

    Was drinking greens ipa in the local pubs here near the track, not bad. Overloaded on London pride last night, so much drinking, I will be rattled this weekend.

    Race fell apart a bit today but Hidden Cyclone really seems to have ironed out his jumping. Ran an absolute blinder in the Ryanair. I thought after the 3rd last he'd win

    Hadn't a penny on it, tried get a few quid matched at huge prices ante post on Betfair but no joy. Wouldn't been win only in any case.

    Id say its only a matter of time before they bag the grade 1 win with Hidden Cyclone ..............when that happens will certain people be rethinking their highly critical comments regarding the trainer?

    Hookers and blow when LI hacks up lads! :D

    He's actually quite strong. I think he's plenty short now. What's the ground like?

    Hoping he can pay for the summer holidays anyhow :D

    "We've walked the course. The ground is good to yielding and we're happy to run," said trainer Philip Fenton. "The horse is in great form."

    I think he's still a decent ew price @ 7/1 (race lacks quality depth) but to be honest I think they've decided to take a small risk with the ground given he's so good. He's an absolute monster imo and good enough to beat the brilliant Bobs Worth if he doesn't go wrong during race.

    He'll need to be at least 5/6 lengths ahead of Bobs coming up the hill but I think his bold jumping could ensure that.

    Ground must be on the slightly soft side of good if they're running last instalment, only worry would be that it'll dry up as the day goes along but not having a chase on it until the GC should preserve a bit of the moisture in it.. I was tempted to back him but I just keep thinking of pandorama and how the connections made sh1te of him by running him on ground that was too quick for his liking... Gave up trying to find something that could beat bobs worth and just unloaded at 6/4 instead, will definitely be unloading more if he wins

    If he jumps like he can and Bobs Worth runs like last year that may well be how it pans out.

    Urban, Last Instalment surely joins the ranks of the legends if he wins today?

    JK!

    I've backed Bob but it would be awesome if LI won- definite legendary status.

    ****ing Channel 4

    Probably the 2nd biggest day of the year for non racing folk & all they've done so far is concentrate on Last Instalment & First Lieutenant for all the wrong reasons.

    Doesn't seem to be any confidence behind Calipto, out to 13/2. Some money for Royal Irish Hussar.

    Yeah that's the thing I'm happy about. Don't really fancy it but he jumped so badly the last day he can only improve for headgear. Good ground and McCoy all pluses. We'll see

    God Bobs Worth is being ploughed off the boards here. Sub 6/4 on betfair

    Punters need this to save their skins. Last Instalment weak enough but was predictable enough on the ground and in the face of the plunge on Bobs Worth

    Hope T43 doesn't leave the national behind here. Seems to be bits and pieces for it on Betfair
