Big Buck's
That was breathtaking, how confident Ruby was is absolute testament to the horse.
Hopefully the Grands Crus fan club will now give up.

Sea The Stars on the flat, now Big Buck's over hurdles.
I feel blessed to have been in the same generation as two superstars.

EW 25p Lucky 15
Grand Crus
Grandouet
Carole's Legacy
Turko

Don't know where he woulda finished, but Grandouet was starting to get into his stride when brought down. Such luck.

Don't think it would of gone with the other two.

Lay matched at 2.5

Winner as well

Favs are going well which is strange for Aintree

Unsure if he would have found anything else but was really starting to look as if he was motoring.

Zarkandar will be put away til autumn now surely, looked tired towards the end and a bit flat. The way they battled out the finish at Cheltenham, no wonder.

Did same at Cheltenham though which is why I laid it good to see it get up though.

Yeah only reason I thought that was because Henderson said before the race Aintree should suit better and they nearly skipped Cheltenham to come here fresh.

Fingers crossed better luck for Denman than his last run at the track.

Nacarat was quality, always been evident he liked a flat track. Denman never really looked to be going in top gear.

Makes me feel slightly less bothered about Grandouet now, but it was only a quid treble, with the real money on Big Buck's.

Can't believe how terrible Punchestowns has been over fences. Nothing, just nothing on his hurdle form.
Denman owes nobody anything, he maybe does have a few races left but can't see him winning many more. Whether it isn't his track, Cheltenham took too much out of him, over the top etc, it doesn't matter. Put him out to grass, would be nothing worse than something bad happening.

William Hill tweeted before a punter put £50,000 in cash on Denman at 5/4 in a Watford store this afternoon

Pretty awful luck today so far. Had Palawi and Grandouet in the 2nd race and one brought down the other. Had Carole's Legacy who ran well.

Royal Charm in the next.

Cheers Uncle stan for going top price

Can't believe Wishfull Thinking went off 9/4 awesome jumper still think but one mistake the Jewson was his.

Denman let me down for a very tiday sum

Still 4 winners and a lay not bad for Aintree

Binocular is 5/2 for the Aintree Hurdle on Saturday

Hasn't had a tough race like Peddlers Cross because of Hendersons up and he needs to make up for that here, all the noises before Cheltenham from McCoy were good and was 11/4 before being pulled out, McCoy again has been saying he's on top form, its got a great cruising speed like the Fly I don't think the extra distance will be a problem.

Peddlers Cross should be an Even money shot, worth steaming into IMO.

2.00

A Media Luz 8/1 and 2/1 place

Need to forgive its last run at Cheltenham when it was pulled up, shes shown that she has alot of talent, being a speed horse I think Aintree should suit better (ran to 101 on the flat) she also gets just under a stone in weight off 9 of the other 14 horses which is a massive amount to have on her side if she runs near her best form.

Want to back Master Minded in the Melling but going to wait and see if soft is in the ground tomorrow
