Morning all, can't see this has its own thread yet and as its only two weeks away and I am bursting with excitement I thought id start one!
Any one got any early thoughts? I am wondering if all may not be tip top in the Mullins yard, he's had a few pull out of the festival (gutted about Faugheen) and there seems to be a lot of decisions about where horses will run still to make. I know it's normal for a horse to hold several entries but Vautour for example could be GC, could be Ryanair - two very different races, Black Hercules could be the 4 miler, could be JLT, huge differences!
Apart from UDS and Douvan, my bankers of the week are; Yanworth and Thistlecrack, if either were trained by Mullins they'd be massive odds on! I also really like the Jonjo trained pair of Spookydooky (handicap chase somewhere) and Minella Rocco (4 miler).
Anyway, roll on two weeks time - I'll be on the train to Prestbury!!
