Indeed. Exciting dual, Rachel great isn't she! It’s rare but nice when you have both in the duel, but agreed a good opener and yes for me she’s up there with the very best. |

Well done Mark. I put my selections on X. Got him too. From the direct family of Bindaree. He’s a stayer alright. Cheers Seven, there wasn’t much to separate them in the market, I just went with the soft ground angle and I do like the HDB and RB team. |

Well done team, oops thought you guys were on Gaelic for some reason sorry 😂 an easy winner in the end.
I thought he looked fine before the start, thought Il Etait Temps looked meh, how he got up for third after that mistake.

Kim Bailey's were rightly fancied and looked great in paddock, result a total contrast.
Hope Highland is ok, he missed one quite early and I thought that was an escape, crikey too much.
Pleased enough with Meeting and Kitty's. He jumped out of that ground. Hard work but he seems well. I also like Twig he deserves a mention, feel he will always be bridesmaid tends to fade, but he did manage to keep second, is 17lbs too much!?. Monbeg bad mistakes but I couldn't have him before.

Twig was tough as teak there on ground he didn’t want. Further highlighting just how under-utilised Sulamani was. A stallion that produced a dual Champion Hurdler and a Grand National winner. The bloodstock world often doesn’t realise what it had until it has gone.

MO? State man is definitely sturdy.
I think every horse that's won today had Miswaki in the mix. Was supposed to be looking for Sulamani in current GN hopefuls but got distracted.
Loved Bindaree, yes I was onboard, 30yrs old, if he's still alive and must be the oldest living GN winner.
