Unanswered Prayers Bids For Another Southern National

Hi all,

Another good day for subscribers with Panic Attack winning the Paddy Power Gold Cup and Issam successful at Wetherby.

Across the Irish Sea, the Troytown Handicap Chase (2:32) offers €59,000 to the winner. Another big-field handicap and every bit as competitive as the Greatwood. It’s not on ITV, but it’s a race I like, and I’ll be having a bet.
