If he can cope with the fences this time and avoid trouble, Goonyella will be a major player.creepyaddick said:Cheers Peanuts

I'm going to keep a very close eye on Goonyella first circuit.
If he's negotiating the fences OK, he'll be seriously interesting to back "in running".0 -
Gone for Goonyella and Vics Canvas, all the best peanuts great thread.1

Cheers cafcsinger. All the best.0

Okay, bit of a weird one today.
We have a cat that comes to visit. It's called Bloom. Fucker sits around most hours of the day, steals some food, then goes back home. Bloom, if it was the starting word on a Scrabble board, scores 18 points (for the double word).
Horse 18 is AACHEN. This particular horse has not only been tipped by Peanuts, but is owned by - TONY BLOOM.
Got a couple quid e/w on him at 100/1 or something. So many signs.2 -
IT's RAINING!!!!

Back Sir Des Champs yesterday and now ive just seen a Doris is now on board.....just my luck. I'm so confident it won't win that I've given the slip to my wife and told her she can have any winnings.
Just backed Saint Are.0 -
Must be a really hard GN to watch for Donald McCain today, having bought and formerly trained both The Last Samuri and Kruzhlinin.0

Backed all of yours peanuts as usual. Also backed the following no hopers for the missus (which I paid for);
Morning assembly
Soll
Ballynoujour
Last samurai
Holywell
Good luck!2 -

Sod it. Gone all in on a quad-cast of Peanuts choices.0

Not really
The wife, five and two year olds and mother in law all picked a horse and left me with one pick. Was hoping they would pick some of peanuts but alas we now have a slip of each way bets on:
First Lieutenant
Rocky Creek
Last Samuri
Wonderful Charm
And I chose Vics Canvas for mine.0 -
On any other track YES.hudson-son-son said:So is Goonyella the most benefited from the soft conditions?
BUT he's run twice over the course.
UR at first fence
9th 45L in Becher Chase last Dec on Soft (favoured ground). Racing Post analyst commented: "He didn´t fancy the National fences much ..... and was in trouble around halfway."
HOWEVER, maybe 3rd time lucky?
I'm keeping a close eye and if he's coping I'll back him in-running to Win as a "saver".

The wife has picked, Buywise and Rule the world both 50/1 and Daughter has picked Black Thunder 66/1.
