Lovely to turn the Day One deficit round into a healthy profit on Day 2 and some tokens to go at day 3 with. Ballyburn landing the double nicely. As always us bettors always moan and I am annoyed I did not have more on Captain Guinness, the drop to seven runners made me go small stakes and I should have been braver! Always easy after the event. Unexpected Party a lovely winner. Hopefully kick on more today.

Envoi Allen going for his 4th festival win at age of 10 and would be a very popular winner but I am against him here. Taking a couple of the outsiders to spring a surprise.

Teahupoo may win but not for me at 2.68, some good old names then in behind, Noble Yeats, Paisley Park, Sire Du Berlais etc. Just a small bet for me for interest on an old favourite.
