14:50 Aintree - Hardy Eustace

[chala]

I really fancy him to go close this afternoon. Ran a cracking race at Cheltenham, narrowly edged into 3rd just 1 & 1/2 lengths behind Brave Inca. That run came on the back of poor preparation really, when he came last of 7 at Leopardstown in his second of only 2 preparation races leading up to Cheltenham. I didn't think he'd go very well at Cheltenham, but he showed he's still got it, and if that race had come a month or two later, I believe he could have reversed the result. He's drifted on betfair from 3 to 3.9, which I think is a cracking price for this afternoons race.
