10/11 on Big Bucks. Felt I had to pile in. That's me for the festival if its beaten.

Disappointed to miss out on Alberta. Always followed that horse and had a bet on it in the King George.

Ruby delivers the first sure thing of the festival after 3 days, Big Bucks at 5/6

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

Impressive ride. Don't think Ruby drew the whip once. Cantered home. There was a bit of value in the 10/11, had Nicholls not had a few losing favourites, I'd say he might have be 4/7 or shorter. Ronan Graham thought last week he'd go off at 8/13.

Went for outsider Mrmcgoldrick.

Brilliant run from him.

It's a tough ould job when you look at what AP has been through today. So here's a gratuitous swipe at pampered, poncy soccer stars, just for the sake of it.
