Iam going to respond to you with the confidence of someone that told everyone last year that GWE could not win the July.

8 on 18 will have to give some good older horses weight and from what I've seen - Hollywoodbets Greyville might not necessary suit him.

His targets are probably the DN and Champions (he will almost be 4 then).

Snaith has some older horses who I believe are very good places

The 10 days re apology is nearly up and no apology yet. Would I be right to assume that an appeal by GVN would neutralise the apology requirement for the time
