Celebrities such as Mitt Fitzgerald daily Russell download the app now and get better onto Tuesday.

Then on.

We're recording this on the Thursday the week before, just about 11 o'clock starts on.

It's raining outside.

Currently reports of some rain around telling them as well.

So before we get into the Supreme, the first race of the festival.

Just wanted to ask you guys if you had any thoughts about what the ground is gonna be like when we get to the gate to the big day.

I'm working on the basis of Heavy apparently a train a wall, of course on Tuesday and said it was heavy fourth patches if they couldn't have reached on Tuesday.

Looking at the looking at the going forecast for Sunday, Monday Tuesday, it's looking pretty wet, especially on Sunday and Monday.

I don't see how it can dry appreciably.

They can't you going soft, but I'm working on the basis of very, very testing, which is obviously, I could see some trainers re routing their horses.

Do you think that's been facts into the market so far?

Do you think that you're seeing horses that should go on that ground?

Being shorter than they would normally be doesn't appear to be a I'm checked all the market, certainly for day one on this'll.

Mourners left before I left to come here.

So, um, I think Tony's right thing, it is gonna be soft, heavy in places.

No, no, that can't be anything else.

Really.

I usually get away with good.

Too soft, but that just looks a 1,000,000.

So, yeah, I think you need to work around now.

You know, with four days to go with that very much in mind onto the supreme, then on just running through the top, heading to the market.

Shishkin is the favor and 11 to 4.

Just going to say now is that William Hill are basically the only bookie on the electrical grids.

Aren't no run?

No bet so.

They are best price for most of these.

I'll try and give you a variety of prices.

Remember, if you're backing them with hills and a moment at the time of recording and they don't run, you don't need money ways.

With most other bookies, you will get your money back.

They tend to stick with that kills a lot of years as a definite policy, the best price.

But what it means looking through our grids there basically both type on everything, which I guess is quite a good marketing.

Just Yeah.

I mean, why I play it, May I can I can get a few could wear heels and why I play.

If I found your horse and they're cleared.

Top price.

I'd probably put half my steak on with hills and half steak on the number.

No, no.

But as well.

So, um, I think it's I think it's a decent make some distinctive anyone.

Yeah, I think the champion hurdle.

We get onto their best price in every single horse, but here they're 94 about Shishkin.

11 to 4 is the best price.

That's with Patty's and Betfair with that story and for launch day.

Our best price at 7 to 2.

Envoy and unlikely to run eyes 5 to 1 with them.

Advocate every 6 to 1 Fiddler on the roof, 15 to 2.

Chantry House, 8 to 1 with Hills 72 Market price.

Just to say that before I ask you, there's been a bit of a move on the exchanges with Assyrian for launch trading as the favorite on Betfair in about 4.2 to 4.5 last place match on shit on chicken around about 5.0 mark on, they'll come to you first.

This is a race, of course, but we've seen some short price favor.

It's really kind of make their mark on the scene thinking of juvenile tour, but also a couple of hot spots.

But they're really gone missing and not really kicked on.

So how do you judge those two at the top of the market?

Given the conditions, you'd probably salata favor stereo for long because he looks a smile like a sentiment of thorough stare.

When he won at Leopardstown last time, I didn't think he had to do a great deal to beat the other two very much under par.

Easy work.

Madeleine Stowe wouldn't be anywhere near Great One Standard, even though easy work had won a great racer Tom before Limerick.

He did it.

Workmanlike.

Fashion is time.

Figure was okay.

It wasn't anything Sensation when he's time, comparisons on the same card didn't really stand out against the likes of black tears.

And the wave of the sea, neither to two more races on that tractor, immediately went over the line.

I did the numbers of thought.

He's useful, but he's not in my eyes, the horse.

I want to be back in at his price for the Supreme unless it was genuinely soft and became almost like a two and 1/2 mile race similar last year.

What we like with classical dream winning, she's gonna think the fastest horse in the field.

He's sectionals.

Newbury from three actor out from the last on running with sensational when he won two starts ago.

You have nothing more than exes always can to really hunting.

The last time I had to be useful Shan bloat.

But the ground is a liberal worry.

There's also a stat floating around as well.

Um, I think everyone's now privy to that.

Stop that good one as well.

Handling the Huntingdon form things.

About 120 horses overrun Huntingdon on their warm up run and none of them have wanted, which I'm sure Nicky Henderson probably didn't know before he ran in there.

Whether it makes any difference, I don't know.

But anyway, they start to there to be broken, and it depends how much store you take it on the wall.

I've backed in the race of actually back to about Fiddler on the Roof.

I proud to the toll with hey, did some good numbers on the lead up to the toll with my thinking was, But he's gonna be 64 to win the toll with and he wins it.

Well, he'd be a good deal shorter for the super.

And that's the case.

You must be the forgotten horse in many respects, that told that always works out quite well.

Some of our door.

We want it in similar fashion a couple of years ago before he won.

But if the ground is genuinely soft, heavy in places, it's hard to see him not going well given.

I think he's one of the only few horses I've seen this season who's won a good time figure and actually quickened in soft or heavy ground.

They had that lovely side on camera that dates and then from two out to the last, when he really did come.

A wife's unusual horses on power.

He's worked to the hill traditionally, come in twos on that does not many rumors in the race.

It's not really yard.

You're drawn to longer Mullins, O R N.

Elliot or Henderson.

But just one of those also think you want onside, given what the conditions are gonna be.

So I'm quite happy within an Edward Stone as well.

I want the ground to be living better for him.

In all fairness, but he ties in with Fiddler on the Roof.

He's got a good engine and whether he's quite good enough to win, I don't know.

But I'm more than happy to fiddle.

Never think you'd liketo one last time.

I saw you currently 15 to 2 with Hills seven's around.

No, no, no.

But you should be okay with Coral.

Elaborates on bet.

Fred.

Neil, How do you see this one?

I was kind of quite like Edward Stone.

He's a horse that, uh, pulls quite hard and would be suited by a first place.

It's strange, violent King, but I kind of agree with your idea.

The ground might have put me off a little bit.

I'll go.

A friend on Twitter Halt to believe, Whose name's Rick and he's He's actor playing the 1994 and a couple of weeks ago he tweeted and said, This is all wrong, This market, you know, it reminds me a bit might until yours again.

Champagne fever.

I don't know.

Probably this is not really helping with the young viewers, but maybe it's a bit of us.

Will Graham against David Gower wants a bit more sort Flare e and Yeah, the other one's a bit more of a slugger.

I saw the notice kind of matches on.

It was like to be with the slogan a little bit more than the flare E one.

And so I don't really like I'm no big fan of sheepskin, Actually, I think, Yeah, I definitely could see the reason that they flip flopped, Uh, whether I want to go in at these prices on nasty area for long.

I'm not sure, I think Yeah, the markets probably made its mind up.

It's a race.

It looks like it may be going to cut up a bit that there's kind of a big five and then not much else behind S o.

You know, traditionally on the day, bookmakers have been quite keen toe offer interesting offers on the first race of Children because they feel like people load up their account, get going, and they can keep those punters away.

I'll be very keen, Teoh.

Have a look.

You know, if somebody you know possibly Dinis might give us a bit.

Of course, the 1st 4 or something like that could be quite interesting.

But right now I'm slightly kept my power to draw on the right side.

I'm not gonna I'm gonna revisit it.

See how heavy it is.

But, Ante Post, I don't think I'm gonna play Tony.

Um, I think she asking interest me like like the guys there.

I think the ground is a big issue there.

Mean column with Nico.

And he was He said, this horse has got a push button acceleration.

He said I should remind you about your You know, he wasn't really drawn on.

That smirky gave me suggesting they wouldn't be a mile away.

But you know, whether or not the grounds when the planets, But we'll see, I think you could make a case for for quite a few in there.

The interesting one with the ground if you take the view that the ground's gonna be really testing, Uh, now I wouldn't be completely surprised if everywhere and comes here from the Valley more.

There's been a few nibbles on better as we speak.

He's into about 8 to 1 number.

No, no.

Better on the years of short was 2 to 1.

Normal or no bet with a fixed odds firms that's always the exchange watches old 9.0.

Yeah, So I just think I just think that he could really shake up the market.

Actually.

Hope he does go because of lady for the belly more.

2.7.

But it wouldn't surprise me.

I've been told.

You know, they are.

They would they would consider that s o n.

Joanna could really shake up the market.

I don't know how he would have he would fit into that market.

But I think a price around about 25 to 2 is probably realistic.

So if you're bit into that market, the potential has been for a lot of these horses to drift.

I think you could make a case of Shang Tree House and, you know, take the report back from Laura the interesting one for me.

And the problem is, obviously he's got loads of festival entries.

Ah, I think you might go down the handy camera off off his mark, but the one that really interests me and he if he ran especially over testing two miles is stolen.

Silver.

He's formed ties in with Shan treehouse.

It ties in with Edward Stone.

Now, the exchange price suggest he's not coming here.

But if he did.

I mean, he I think he was come up easily.

The best horse in the weight against center house general thinking was given £6 that day.

Picked up Edward Stone.

And if you saw his running, the better heard or last time anyone like you flew after and he's I think he's one of the horses already disadvantaged with the stuff.

I think a strong around two miles in deep ground is Roy Happy Street.

Now.

I suspect they'll go up for the handicapped route and he's in the valley.

Maura's well, I think.

But he would.

He would really interest me is walking up here, but at the moment, I haven't really I haven't really played in the race, but I wouldn't be totally surprised if Envoy and did rock up Let would obviously really shake up that market to order to back No, no, no.

That if you are gonna take, take them as your selection in the 1st 5 to 2.

And violin is with Ladbrokes, who are offering that in 50 20 guns.

Stolen silver.

Bet 365 that no one in there but yeah, we could be doing business.

Sounds good just a quick mention for a horse that we went and saw in Ireland a couple of days a couple of weeks ago.

Soviet Pimpernel, trained by Peter Farty Peter, has a couple horses going here, having had the favorite for the mayor's ruled out a few weeks ago.

So if you want to see that interview and are the day we spent with him and find out a little bit more about that horse that we'll be cheering on adults checker and go to our YouTube page and you can see a day in the life Peter Farty on fingers Crossed the Soviet Pimpernel does gives him a good account onto the Arkle.
