Interesting that the first three in the ultima were up with the pace all the way. I’m throwing a few quid on Aspire tower at 33/1 in the hope that he will be up with it and plug on for a place.

Thankfully PP paying 4 places

Well that was very very impressive.

Delighted for Blackmore. I even got a run for me 10er on Saldier e/w!

Delighted 4 Rachel, Henry n connections. Superb performance and result

That was brilliant from Honeysuckle - even better than DRF. Don't think anyone should be blaming the jockey for Goshen - he did very well to keep him on the track

Just too good.

Both horse and jockey.

Concertista is 1.9 at moment with the 2nd and 3rd favourites 4.0 & 10.0,
is this really considered an Appreciate it/Shiskin type favourite?

Panrich

Bookmakers won't be overly pleased so far.

Bookies have a lot of liabilities on trebles and accas with the 3 shorties winning so far. Concertista will undoubtedly be shorter than she deserves but do I dare Lay another shortie after getting my fingers burned by Honeysuckle?

I've put a 5er on Black Tears to see what the ITV boys say if an Elliott horse wins.

An hour ago you “loved laying shorties”. Why are you asking strangers on the internet about what to do? 🀭

ITV call them a a racing couple but shirley it should be a TEAM; Debromhead/Balckmore/HOneysuckle e/w Damedecompagnie for me in the next...

It was a rhetorical question. Just making conversation, I thought that's what we were here for.

Delighted to see a woman jockey winning the Champion Hurdle is such style. Rachael is a great role model.

Hes not without a chance, have him done from a while back.

dare to say, this has shades of Annie Power accumulators going kablammo on Concertista. I got the four at 13/1 just prior to the off, so I'm pot committed......fingers cross for Townend.

Who doesnt love to see the bookies get hosed.

Woohoo, got in on Black Tears on the last one.
PP are paying 6 places in the next race, what are the thoughts on Druid's Altar as an e/w long shot?
