Thought Saint Calvados should be fav. 4s huge. Defi the danger, just can't have Profiterole.

Into 5/2 now I see. 4s way too big last night and this am.

I was of the complete opposite opinion. Think Politologue should be shorter. Other 2 havent done it in open company grade 1s yet and have it to prove, he runs well fresh and the question mark over his Cheltenham form has been answered after his champion chase run.

12.50 Cork, Colreevy, around 8/13 on the exchange, pretty short but looks nailed on. I've had a nice win bet on the horse.

As soon as you think Nicky Henderson's horse has no chance it pisses up by 5 lengths. I have had an ew at Countister at 20/1 with Paddy Power 5 places thank you very much. Everyone knows that Aidan Coleman is the most underrated national hunt jockey on the planet. Easy Game.

I am also lashing out on a double with Al Dancer and Saint Calvados, it is only fair to give something back to the bookies.

I have backed Ex Patriot again, for two reasons. The first is that I fancy the arse off Ellemarie Holden and the second is that it probably won't win. It's a complicated game.

Be careful out there.

I agree I thought politologue was a fair way clear here and am delighted with drift

I'm going to have a little ew here on diesel dallier. Trainer has the favourite yet still takes this one over at the foot of the weights and has plenty of xcountry experience back home.

I am now having a win single on Quel Destin, he is very classy and has to be backed, even off top weight.

SonOfGoat

My only other bet today and it's my best bet of the day. 2.25 Cheltenham, Saint Calvados, around 11/4'ish and I think it will win easy. I've had my max win bet on this. Horse jumps around it wins.

I'm out

RivetingRoger

Won't be backing getawaytrump again.

Quel Destin and Dewdrop double for me today

It could well turn out that the mare is a good thing. She has won 6 races now and 3 chases, she has beaten some good horses there.

Geraghty class.

HarshOstrich

Have to say i really dont like defi du seuil, he always pips my selection.
On another note i think joseph o brien will be champion jumps trainer in next 5- 10 years

Andrew00

Monster is defi du seuil

IAMAMORON

Yeh I think he is just a good horse at this stage. He has won 5 grade 1's and I can see him going for the Ryanair. I wouldn't stop JP having a crack at the Queen Mother either.

RivetingRoger

Defi is a class act

del roy

the bumper today,

16.00 Brief Ambition Brief Ambition is a lovely horse whom we believe has a big future. He is in good form at home and while we would be happy with a place, we are hopeful of something better. Great each-way chance.

16.00 Stoner's Choice Stoner's Chance is a lovely individual who has done some very good work at home and at Lambourn over the past three weeks. He has a big engine and while he is much the bigger price, we can’t split our two runners. They work as well as each other.

Trainer F.O' Brien
