TBH - I can see him being ran even if not 100%, from what I can gather Byrne doesn't really have any interest in the Aintree meeting and seems to think its this or nothing.
Even so - I think he'll run but his odds will take a beating and I'd back him to place.

Why wouldn't he take it to Aintree? if it aint 100% they may as well wait for Aintree as it won't be beating Go Native or Zaynar if its not 100%
Saturdays Kelso winner Bedlam Boy will now bypass Cheltenham in favour of Aintree. Ferdy Murphy's 9-y-o will now go for the Maghull Novice Chase (won last year by stablemate Kalahari King).
Revealed yesterday that they'll be watering the course all week, aiming to keep the current going of Good to Soft, Good in places.
Sounds like Noel Meade is somewhat concerned about this decision in respect of Champion Hurdle favourite Go Native, hoping that there is no mis-calculation resulting in 'tacky' ground.

I can't blame them for watering personally, it's forecast to be pretty much dry until the Opening Day and it's smart to preserve the current conditions.
Just been using the new sporting life race replay feature to watch some of last years festival races to get me in the mood. Enjoyed it again so much I've watched the bumper 3 times just confirms to me what an unbelievable performance that was from Dunguib and cannot wait for the opener next week, can't say I've been that excited about a horse for a very long time..
Also on the subject of Dunguib, I've had a little tickle on the only horse to ever finish in front of him. Found it interesting that Howard Johnson said that his On Raglan Road is potentially the best horse he has in the yard. He's trained some belters and has some top class animals at present and i see that as high praise indeed, 33/1 in the Coral Cup is worth a few quid I thought!

Sorry what's this?
If it's an online feature then that would make my day being a Uni student without the TV previewes?
Ignore my last comment anyway - I've watched a few races on Youtube including the 2008 Gold Cup and the 09 Hennessy and as much as i've vowed I won't bet for Denman in the GC - I just seem to have a liking for him, had alot of trouble, seems to have been written off by the Bookies now, By god i'd love him to beat Kauto again - Imagine the Papers.
