None of the pundits had mares last night, and Jonathon Hobbs in particular was well on form. Hobbsy got 4 out of 8, as he did last week, and his Nap came in as well. He actually got the first 3 tips up including 7/1 shot Tipp The Breeze. Tony Bullen got 5 out of 8 up.
The big final was won as expected by 4/5 shoot Fear Zafonic and the Charlie Lister trained son of Premier Fantasy is now the favourite for the English Derby. His Birmingham Cup win was good, but I wouldn't be rushing to back him for the Derby just yet.
I got 2 of my 3 up on the night for a profit on the night of €1.23 at SP and €2.00 after taking the morning prices. My bet of the night was Butterbridge Ali and he didn't let me down, winning at 6/4.
