How confident are people on Teahupoo and Brighterdaysahead?
Never a big fan of hype horses like Brighterdaysahead. Elliotts stable form at the minute is also shite.
I'll be on Jade De Grugy.

There is arguments for and against both horses to be honest.
Embassy Gardens blew up last year at Cheltenham but has looked impressive this year, his jumping especially.
Corbetts Cross had his own problems at Cheltenham last year when he ran into the railings at the last hurdle. His jumping has been a bit suspect at times this year but has a really good chance if he jumps well. He is a bit quirky but the trainer is top class to be fair so I'd imagine he will have him spot on for this.
I picked Embassy Gardens as he tends to make ground at his fences rather than lost ground. Something Corbetts Cross has been at risk of in the past.
Some training performance in the last. Well done.

Are these issues just for NH or is it affecting flat racing too?
I don't follow flat racing but I believe there is similar issues but couldn't confirm 100%.

Why is that?
I don't follow British racing at all so have no idea.
Quite a few issues to be honest.
The schedule needs totally scrapped and redone imo. There is far to many meetings which is effecting prize money and sponsorship.
In Britain, trainers are also very reluctant to put their best horses against one another until the week of Cheltenham. This wasn't the case say 10-15 years ago. This is leading to big races having field sizes of 3 or 4. This is also putting people off attending race courses.
Affordability checks are also beginning to cause problems for punters and prospective new owners. I think this will only get worse in all honesty.

Mares Hurdle - Lantry Lady ew
Boodles - Ndaawi main bet, Latin verse ew
National Hunt Chase - Embassy Gardens

That's horrendous man, thoughts with all of his family.

Could tell early on he was struggling on the surface. Certainly looked like his hamstring he was holding when he went off.
-
That Chadwick stand is a fucking death trap btw, dangerously oversold.

Wednesday is huge for us. If we come away from Rugby Park with 3 points we'll be in great shape for the run in.
Apart from the Old Firm I'd fully expect us to take full points in the rest of the games before the split.
That would mean a worst case scenario of being a point behind with the post split fixtures still to play and obviously depending on how the Old firm goes the possibility of being at least 5 ahead.
Agree with this, Wednesday night is huge.

Off that week anyway for the festival so suits me fine.

Some ties are more difficult than others obviously but I'd honestly think we would beat any of them if we play well over two legs.

Strange human being.

Couldn't believe how bad Hibs were the other week when we played them so any more dropped points for the tims would be a massive bonus.
-
I've always liked Goldson but wouldn't mind a change in there from the Summer, thought he was howling last night.
-
Think we will win convincingly tbh, Warnock or no Warnock.

How long's Carter Vickers out for?

Seen several claims that their board want a title race this year to make it interesting
