Monalee declared for the RSA this morning, might go for the reverse forecast with Presenting Percy. Black Corton has had a lot of runs already this season, might go against him

Willie Mullins bingo got the better of me with Max Dynamite. Word I got was that he was all set for the County Hurdle on Friday and now Willie has bluffed everyone and declared him for the Coral Cup. Lucky my antepost bet was NRNB.
 
Still fancy him for the Coral Cup mind you!

That's probably the best bet for the race

So the going is heavy, soft in places.
Suggests to me that a lot of outsiders are going to win this week and favourites turned over?
However on today's card Apples Jade, Footpad and Buveur Dair have all won in ground with a bit of give in it.
 
Any horses who favour the soft that are running this week?

favours irish horses, used to running in the heavy mud! can see punters acting on this, as the odds on getabird, footpad and apple's jade have shortened
 
jer's girl ew w/o fav in the mare hurdle
sizing Tennessee in the 4.50 (although might have shortened significantly at this stage)
testify in the 5.30 (odds slashed)

Boyles are doing an offer, money back as a free bet if 2nd or third to the favourite. Max 20 quid but go to a few boyles or I've never had any hassle with these offers if you just do a few and collect the free bet at different times. 
I think petit mouchoir is way way way over-priced in the arkle. Footpad has been mighty impressive over fences, whilst he had beatn nothing up until he beat this selection last time out by a comfortable 5 lengths. That was petit mouchoirs first run in 4 months and he would have been nowhere near 100%, he was very tenderly handled by Davy with today in mind. They faced each other in the champion last year with petit mouchoir beating footpad by 3 lengths. He will improve tons for his last run and hopefully he can do the business. He's 4/1, and i've had a decent cut with boyles special offer. 
Here we go again

Just my own picks. Think the main favourites will be hard beat and have them in a few L15's so made a few e/w selections too

1:30 Summerville Boy e/w
2:50 Vintage Cloulds e/w
3:30 Elgin e/w
4:10 Jers Girl e/w
4:50 Jury Duty or Mossback
5:30 Le Rocher e/w

SkyBet paying 6 places in the last and money back if you lose as a free bet up to 20e in the first

Great race to open the festival, thought Kalashnikov just had it Cry. Fair play to the lads that backed Summerville Boy

What a horse Footpad is. The 2 frontrunners probably went off to quickly with the ground as it is, but he was almost flawless

Couldn't believe the pace they were going at it down the back straight the front 2. Ruby sat motionless with a superstar below him and picked them off readily.
