    So lads which one of the Cheltenham winners will 'bounce' and run a stinker next week.Which accumalator will you be keeping faith with?
    Annie Power-Win
    Thistlecrack-Win
    Black Lion-Bounce
    Douvan-Win
    Vatour(Melling Chase)-Win
    On the Fringe-Win
    Altior-Win
    Ivan Gorby-Bounce
    My main accumalator will be on Annie/TC/Douvan and Vatour

    I think blacklion and Gorbachev are strong possibles. Both ran out of their skin on the day. I think Onthefringe might be vulnerable needed all the stops at cheltenham. Nicols canyon ran his to his at aintree last year so could reverse with Annie?

    Aintree is an odd meeting all round.

    Yeah i think On the Fringe could be vunerable hence why I'm not including him in my accumlator.He did do the treble last year but was made to tough it out last month.I think he will get up but happy to watch that one play.

    Blaklion imo certainty to bounce had quite abit of luck in the RSA and won't get the run of the race again on better ground too will be out paced

    IG I think will oblige again yes he ran out of his skin but he did run to expectation the yard and connections were saying how great he was and on good ground he looked it, he will get the same and on a track like Aintree he will really put his galloping to them field once again

    Ste - views on Cue card - had a horrendous fall on Cheltenham surely that took a lot out of him mentally and physically

    Also I know he didn't win but what about YANWORTH if he doesn't come up against YORKHILL who himself is favourite for one of the races he should get back to winning ways

    Would love to see Altior against LIMINI with the weight allowance and the prices I would take her all day

    Last thinks VROUM VROUM MAG she is entered in a few races hurdles and chase where we think she's going

    Assuming it doesn't rain too much Gorbatov's a certainty.

    Cue Card is a flat track specialist and looked to be in with a great shout before falling three out last month.Djackadam ran cracker as well so they are closely matched but i would tend to side with Cue Card based on his record around Aintree.Not sure what races VVM is entered in Wooly so not sure if she is defo running?

    VVM won't run lads, pretty sure she'll be kept for Punchestown. Agree wholeheartedly with Wooly re Limini v Altior but again think she's likely kept for Punchestown too.

    I know Limini and VVM looked visually impressive but they would be HAMMERED by the top hurdlers around.

    Some of these ground dependent:

    Annie Power - will probably win but the forecast with MTOY looks worth a dabble
    Thistlecrack - <laugh> WINs on any ground against any opposition
    Blaklion - Bounce unless it comes up soft
    Douvan - WIN. EOS.
    Vatour (Melling Chase) - WIN. EOS.
    On the Fringe - Bounce (Pascha Du Polder to chin him)
    Altior - WIN - top class novice. EOS.
    Ivan Gorby - WIN - top class juvenile. EOS.

    Sticking with Copper Kay in the girls race. That could not have been her true form at Sandown. In the boys race if it comes over I will be with Invitation Only.

    Bit early to draw that conclusion old boy. Guess the yard can answer that question themselves considering they have all the top ones. We've never seen these 2 mares really asked a question on the track so if either are pitched in I think we can assume there pretty handy! The Mullins yard don't tend to pitch at windmills. They know what they've got down there.

    Afterall we all thought they were mad pitching in Black Herucles to the JLT!
