Well the first two are out on course - Oli T with Armada and Izzy Taylor with Briarlands Matilda. I like what they've done with Huntsman's Close this year.

I like Armada, but I think we've said this before, he's just not that careful - I hope he picks up tomorrow. He also looks a little tired/behind.

Oli/Armada was the best combination to start it though, what a ride.

Lots of issues already and the time seems pretty tough - unless you're Armada 
Should be an interesting day

Have to say I'm not a fan of Louise hardwoods riding, just seems like she's swimming a bit and horse isn't really listening. tbh, I'm not really surprised that she had a stop (ish) and better at a solid fence - think what might have happened at the vicarage vee!
I'm really impressed by Joseph murphy, he rode brilliantly!

I like what they've done with the course this year, I didn't see a preview so was very confused at first, but it's good to have a change without it being completely different.

I think he's annoyed that he seems to be pathfinder with unusual regularity...sounds like it didn't hurt him today though
Who do people think is going to be in our Rio team?

Horse looked a little perplexed as to what happened - possibly could be a little sore as looked quite a knock

They are restricted by who has 2 rides though, and actually looking at the stats he isn't that hard done by. And if you said same first person can't go first in consecutive years I don't think that would have helped him. He also brought the other 4 stars into, like badders can control what other do!?

Rio's so open this year, Harry Meade was talking about it yesterday. Today I think will answer some questions, but some prospective team horses are doing the 3*s instead.

Yeah I thought that, it's just luck of the draw really!
Right, I now have to drive from Oxford to Manchester so no XC for me
. Wish it was on the radio!
