    Don't think I've ever seen a novice chaser as short as Envoi is. 1/12 is mad. There's nothing there to beat him but still...

    Interested to see how Farouk D'Alene fares over 2m6f.

    That's the one I feel is most vulnerable too actually... But..... Still think it will win

    I love Abacadabras and have it backed for CH but Aspire Tower is no mug and any mistake will be punished

    It will be interesting to see how Queens Brook gets on. I think she could be very exciting but she didn't exactly justify her massive favouritism last time out. Maybe she'll come on for that run and back up against her own sex tomorrow, hopefully she'll have enough in the tank.

    Think she's vulnerable over 2 miles if you ask me.

    Rogers' wonderful Mammy aside, where will Queens Brook likely be aimed at Cheltenham?

    Has GE said? I can see her in the AB as I think she's a stayer. Today might tell us.

    Horse very weak at the finish rather than jockey. What in the name of Jesus are they doing with Goshen on the flat if the likes of Aspire are doing this?

    Abacadabras didn't look too fit tbh, I'm willing to hold onto my bets for now. Hasn't drifted enough to top up though.

    He looked a natural.

    The biggest problem punters are going to have is getting a price about him. He will only be beaten by himself. Has he ever even had the whip yet?

    I wouldn't bother with doubles or trebles over fences. It would break your heart.

    Just watch the horse, he will be a coinflip or worse for the rest of his career at this stage, unless he developed issues and then you shouldn't be backing him either. There will be better 4/7 chances to have your money on the flat.

    Abacadbras just blew up after his first spin in nearly 8 months, I certainly wouldn't be writing him off for the CH yet.
