If I had written this last evening I would have given the whole thing over to extolling the virtues of the favourite, his trainer and jockey. As it is, he’s a non runner and we’re favourite. Favourite! In a chase! Worth 50k! Pressure’s on now. I don’t know what to expect. He should be razor fit from his flat runs. He had a pop with us to get his eye in. Funny to see him, his usual casual self, spots a fence and away. He loves it. Fingers crossed he can reproduce his Dan Skelton form. No easy task given what Dan is achieving on the other side of the pond. We’ve had a bit of luck with a forward going son of Azamour at Killarney this week, it would be almost spooky if this lad could repeat the feat. As always everything crossed, I’ll be watching from between my fingers!
