That is me back from the wee break, only missed one winner and a few close ones as well ! The National decs are getting closer and I hopefully will get a ride for Howard Johnson, I hope Royal Rosa gets in !
From Todays Sporting Life:
Abbeybraney is guaranteed a run having sneaked in at number 40 following the confirmation stage, but Royal Rosa, who Johnson has described as his main hope, still needs three to come out.
"The one I really want to run is Royal Rosa and he still needs a few to come out," said Johnson.
"We'll have to play it by ear but if it looks as though Royal Rosa is just going to miss the cut by one, I'll have to take Abbeybraney out.
"Abbeybraney pulled his stifle out coming down the hill at Cheltenham last time, but he's fine now.
"Both the horses are really well. I took them down to the sea at Redcar the other day and they loved it.
"If they both get in on Saturday they'll both run but if they don't, the other would probably go for the Scottish National along with Killyglen."
With stable jockey Denis O'Regan booked to ride leading fancy Black Apalachi for Dessie Hughes, Johnson has had to look elsewhere to sort out his riding arrangements.
"Denis rides Black Apalachi on Saturday and couldn't do the weight on either of my two anyway," Johnson continued.
"Wilson Renwick will ride one of them and if both of mine get in then I'll give Ryan Mania his first ride in the National, as he's a good kid."
