Summary of Results

Where do I start? After the withdrawal of Tudor Prince there was a feeling of disappointment as he looked well handicapped for a prominent showing, the only compensation was the return of the stake.
The day got no better with Efidium being held up and staying there, then Colombard drifting to a bigger price than early doors and ran worse than Efidium.
The selections mentioned for the Irish National were both pulled up after running out the back.
After the defection of top weight Notre Pere, who would have been running off 22lb higher than last Years 3rd place, it changed the outlook altogether and the race took a similar vein to last Year where those around the 10St range dominated the outcome.
A New Story bettered his last Years 4th by a place, and a delighted Harry Skelton, aboard the winner 'Niche Market' when beating Monkerhostin (rated 21lb superior), again got the best from Bob Bucklers gelding to show that was no fluke, and punched the air when passing the line.

With a disappointing 3 point loss, the title of the post for today's choices 'Selection Box' was basically how I last remember one............Empty!!
