    Does Jers Girl want really soft ground?

    I believe so.

    I remember her getting to within a short head of Apples Jade a few years back at Leop....Ground was heavy. She showed shes back to her best when beaten 2L by her again at Navan on Soft to Heavy in November.

    Won on the flat at Roscommon on heavy last year.

    Cromwell has been going well and targeting races as he proved in the Welsh National this year.

    Separate E/W bets on Kalashnikov, Saint Calvados, Singlefarmpayment and Yorkhill

    Small E/W accum on Sharjah, Footpad, Beware the Bear and Buvair D'Air.

    Nothing too extreme save a couple of speculative punts.

    Bring the noise!

    Very much pushing their coverage rather than the racing. Interesting angle. Francesca Cumani looking great to start off with too.

    Or did you mean the Oirish bit with Ruby at the start?

    Means nothing.

    But it does mean something, we know he’s faster over 2 miles than footpad and has had limited chances to prove himself since he started chasing, the last day he wasn’t at his best and footpad only beat him roughly the same distance he was ahead of him when they set off.
    He jumped 2 of the first 3 badly on his 2nd chase on his return from a setback, he jumped the rest very well so I expect a bold show today but don’t expect footpad to win on the bridle.
    Best of luck.
