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.

BorneTobyWilde · 13-03-2018 01:25PM

First Flow at 12-1 in first for me.

Goes on this ground and improving with each run.

LuckyGent88 · 13-03-2018 01:38PM

There goes the accumulater for the day but at least I had the winner e/w as well.

Joe_ Public · 13-03-2018 01:39PM

Once he didnt get the soft lead that was it for the fav, didnt jump great either. Tactically not sure that was way to go either.

Well done if you backed the winner.
MK placed anyway so will take that

Some run, how he kept going I don't know.
No joy with debuchet but very enjoyable race to watch

Joe_ Public · 13-03-2018 01:43PM

Wow looking at the replay amazing how he won after that mistake at the second last, serious performance that!

Is petit mouchoir worth a punt, was looking at him last night but said I'd leave it with footpad looking strong
