not been on computer much this week but won a fair few quid on sizing europe, quevega and hurricane fly, only bets i had on punchestown so far.
did quel esprit today, though the ground will suit rubi light i have my doubts whether his stamina will last as he looked one paced at the finish in the lexus. quel esprit has no worries on trip or ground, and according to nicholls column he was very keen for ruby to ride sanctuaire today at sandown.
somersby is nailed on to give his running but is always a risky choice for the win, wishfull thinking ran a belter last time but is still very inconsistent and not sure 2m is his ideal trip. french opera chased home ss last time, but who knows how much ss had left in the tank as he won on the bridle and evaluating the proximity of those behind FO may be a better gauge of that run. faces better horses than those that he beat last year.
