le Prime Comunioni e le Cresime.
Tulle quesle fesle, ,Iulla 'quCsta' rieehezza spirituale; nasee dalla Pasqua,
dalla ,Risurrezionedi Gesu' Lo sappiamo bene ,ehe la Risurrczione di
Gesu' e' iI fondamento della fede
della Chiesa, e' iI ,fondamenlo dei
Saeramenti ehe noi' 'rieeviamo, e' iI
fondamenlo della noslra vita. Infalli
noi camminiamo pcr ,i1 cammino della
nOSlra vita fino a quando queslo
noslro camminofinisce con la nOSlra
morte ed entriamo nella noslra Risurrezione, quella ehe ei ha preparalo
Gesu'. Certo e" un' po' diffieile eredere lullO queslo, cosi" come ve 10
dieo io: e" diffieife anehe per me. 11
fhllo pero" ll' ehe ce 10 ha dello
Gesu', allora il dubbio ei rimane,
pero' noi 10 affidiamo a Gesu'. 10
ammiro Im,lto quelli ehe predieano la
Risurrezione di Gesu' e la nOSlra
risurrezione con una fede incrollabife:
perchc' io non sono proprio capace di
avere questa fede chc non crolla. Mi
piace che mi viene iI dubbio: non c'
un dubbio grande grandc che cancella
lulla la mia fede: ma ogni tanto mi
gira nel cervello e allora scnla proprio
iI bisogno di pregarc:' senlo che sono

Dear friends,
Lord, you Iherc? I just want 10
have a chal for a minute. II's nol
rc.1l1y a "Thank you" prayer or a
"questioning'" prayer" not even an
"angry" or "confused" prayer. Just a
chat.
It's a~ut friendship. A single
word Ihal means so much. Firsl, Lord,
I guess I should say ,Ihanks, You'vc
made my lifc so full of friends and
friendship, Some I've losl contact

Others I've ,losl Ihrough argumenl,
and some were nothing bUI c.1ndles in

COMUNITA' rrAIJANA
Crisis: what crisis?
Monica Pellegrini
Italy is caught in a 3D ideological-political, institutional and economical crisis!
...according to Paolo Sylos Labini,
and Italian economist at Rome University "La Sapienza". This state of
affairs is the result of the government's excessive intervention in many
sectors of the economy which must
now be privatised.
Privatisation represents a feasible
solution to the country's bad debt. The
country cannot move towards a global
economy when banking and insurance
structures, for instance, are inadequate
and incapable of offering companies
suitable means allowing their growth
and increased cfficiency.
Political instability hampers forcign investment in Italy and does not
help Italian investment abroad. If in
1990 investment flowing into Italy
equalled USS 6.3 billion, in 1991 the
figure decreased to USS2.5 billion,
and during the following two ycars it
stabilised at an amount slightly higher
than USS 3 billion.
Privatisation would increase credibility abroad, attract foreign investment, lead to a decrease in interest
rates and improve efficiency. Following the sale of publie instilutions, the
flow of investment would increase.
Finally, panies would stop managing a
system of power and concentrate on
governing and establishing credibility
abroad.
Prime Minister Dini's government,
an apolitical cabinet of technocrats is
the "54th since the second world-war.
Its arduous task is to enact a minimum
agenda of reforrris before going to the
polls. If Mr Dini's suggested refonns
are not enacted soon, interest rate
increases would make Italy's publie
dcbt burden intolerable.
Major international investors in
London consider Dini's privatisation
programme one of the kcy fhctors in
dctennining the country's economie
development and balancing the country's bad debt. But nobody believes
that all the promised privatisation
process will take place wilhin a year.
In panicular, Dini's government
represent not only an undefined variable but also a paradox. Mr Dini supposedly represcnting an apolitical
technocratic govcrnment - belongs to
a centrc-right political cultnre and
when his governmcnt l.~ckles the prob-
Maggio95
lems it has to face its centre-right
wing policy will come to the surface.
Problems related to the reform of
pension schemes, media ownership
and broadcasting inevitably" involve
political solutions.The paradox lies in
the fact that such a right wing
government is supported by the centre-left wing parties whose political
position traditionally differs from Mr
Dini's.
If those parties opposed the government, they would make it fall and
it would be necessary to go to the
polls immediately. On the other hand,
the right-wing party already seems to
oppose Dini's government and would
like to make it fall so as to induce
new election immediately.
Dini's government is in the position of taking decisions and adopting
solutions such as cutting expenses that
other parties would not do for fear of
losing votes. However, Dini's government may not get the Parliament's
vote of trust because some major
political factions are in favour, of
immediate elections.
In the past few years, unpredictable policies to balance the state
deficit and ever changing fiscal systems have deterred mullinational companies from pouring money into the
country. The flight of capital out of
Italy inevitably causes the Lira to fall
to record lows.
.
"The Italian lira is currently the
\veakest currency in Europe and unfortunately investors tend to disregard
good company results when other
factors such as State debt and political
instability affects the market", said
Christine Keith, an Italian investor at
James Capel in London.
""While international share investment grew by 16-17% during the
period December 1994-95, now it has
reached a stationary position. Investors arc not necessarily selling off
everything but they arc cautiously
waiting to see what will happen
next", pointed out Andrea Ruggeri at
Goldman Saehs in London.
The concern of financial markets
is government spending. On 21st
February 1995, Italian lO-year government bonds are yielding 4.91%
more than the Gennan lO·year bonds.
The daily average spread for the six
months to date is,4.62% - the 29 basic
point difference between the average
spread and that of today quantify the
negative sentiment of, the market
towards Italy. "The spread between
German bonds and Italian bonds will
increase as long as investors are not
convinced that Prime Minister DiDi
can lower the current government
budget deficit to bring il back to its
138.6 trillion lira (about £53 billion),
as it was approved 1994"" stated Pio
de Gregorio, an economist at Natwest
market in London.
Dini has planned to trim between
15 and 18 trillion lira (£5.7 and £6.9
billion) on the current year's budget
deficit by increasing taxes - mainly
indirect taxes sueh as VAT on fuel and cutting public expenses.
The imminent new elections are
likely to haunt the prospect of a
decrease of government deficit since
the parties running for elections
would be against tax increases and
cuts in spending.
Despite devaluation, unemployment and large state deficit, Italy is
still the fifth world economic power.
Eurostat has in fact stated that according to the country's GDP, Italy comes
just after the USA, Japan, Germany
and France.
Industrial production rose 25.3%
in November 1994 when compared to
the previous year, stated the Italian
Institute of Statics, Istat. The commercial balance with countries which are
not part of the EU closed 1994 with a
surplus of Lit. 24.25 trillion (approximately £9.5 billion), even higher than
that of the previous year (approxi.
mately £8 billion).The main increase
in exports (overseas orders rose over
29%) was in Clothing, metallurgical
and mechanical products mainly exported to the USA.
Italy is certainly a country with
contradictions but also with great
potential for gro\\1h and development.
Il will be a ~atter of seeing how this
potential may be exploited.

)
It is a pleasure to be able to say that we were
thrce of thirty nine women of Club Donne Italiane
to visit the beautiful and fascinating city of Prague.
Lyrically it is called. the "Mother of Cities" or
"the Golden City" or just "The City of a Hundred
Spires". Whatever you want to call it, it certainly is
a breathtaking fairyta1e like architectural monument
with a cultural tradition going back centuries.
On Thursday, once we had settled into our
double rooms at our 5 star luxury hotel, and had a
typical Czech meal, our guide Veronika led us on a
4 hour city tour. This took us way back to Gothic,
Renaissance, Baroque and Art Nouvcau times. We
were bowled over by the beauty of the city's
monuments as we made our way to Prague Castle in
Hradcany Square. The panorama here has become a
symbol of Prague and the Czech Republic beautifully spread out along both sides of the statcly
River VItava. We were actually standing on the
route of coronations of the Kings of Bohemia. Originally the Square was lined with burghers houses but after the fire in
1541 it became the site of palaces for the nobility and chureh dignitaries. The wind here was cold and fierce, so we
moved on foot to St Vitus' Cathedral - Prague's largest church - a fascinating Gothic structure with tall slender spires
and a multitude of architectural detail.
'
In the cold wind we proceeded to Loretto - the famous Baroque shrine of pilgrimage built in the 17th Century by
Giovan~i Battista Orsi after the fashion of the Santa Casa in Loreto, Italy. At every hour you can enjoy listening to the
known chimes in Prague consisting of 27 bells, and we did. Iuside we saw the treasury of gold and diamond
monstranccs.
Veronika led us 0 to the Old Town Square where we saw the exterior of the Old Town Hall and opposite a cluster of
splendid baroque houses built on Gothic or Romanesque foundations. Here we waited to see and hear the astronomical
clock constructed in1410 strike 7.00. It was a remarkable momentl Death in the form of a skeleton tolled a bell before
Christ and the 12 apostles emerged from two windows in procession.
On Friday, we headed for tile fairy tale castle of Karlstejn, passing through the village where Martina Navratilova
was born. On arrival at Karlstejn Castle we were overwhelmed 'by its medieval architectural splendour. It.was built by
Charles IV, the father of Bohemia, in the middle ages as a safe deposit for the crown jewels and St:lle documents.
Our next destination was the Gothic Cesky Sternbeck Castle founded in the 13th century. It contained many
marvellous gothic and baroque paintings and sculptures. The castle was extremely cold, as was the temperature outside.
That evening back in Prague we all enjoyed our cruise up the river VItava. On board we were served a candlelit
dinner, which was accompanied by much singing and dancing to the music of the accordian and saxophone - even our
guide congratulated us on our lively participation.
On Satudray we were blessed with a bright sunny morning. We left by coach for Karlovy Vary, a 2 hour drive. This
is a famous spa area and we travelled through a very dense wooded area rich in mushrooms, rabbits and deer. This is
where Beckerovka, the 10cil1 home grown liqueur is produced. We each bought a special cup and sampled the spa
waters rich in minerals and beneficial for the intestines and kidneys. Each of the spa waters had its unique taste - some
not to be savoured again!
After our luxurious c:lviar lunch at the very beautiful Hotel Pupp, }Ve shopped for the renowned Mozcr Crystal, the
Becker aperitif, garnet jewellery and other souvenirs which are always nice to take home to our f.1milies to show them
the sort of places we have visited:
Many f.1mous people have visited this spa area including Karl Marx, Bismark, Alex 11 of Russia, Brahms, Liszt and
other celebrities.
Sunday was our frce day and we made the most of it. We started with mass in the Church of Our Lady Victorious in
the Lesser Town and saw the wax figure of the infant Jesus of Prague, believed to. have miraculous power, brought to
Bohemia from Spain in the 16th century. A truly magnificent church.
.
Next, some of us experienced the Finicula to the rose garden and took in a spectacular view. Others just rambled for
the best part of the day taking in the shops, buying last minute souvenirs, enjoying the restaurants and cafes. Watch out
for the next film featuring Tom Cruise, called "Mission Impossible", as some of the COl will be seen as extras during
the filming in Prague - will our fame never end??
We would like to end this article with some of the COl's comments:
"Pleasantly surprised - would like to come back to finish my visit - perhaps in 5 years' time to sce how the country
has developed"; "Long may these organised trips continue - well done Robert.1!"; "Bc.1utiful", "Excellent";
"Fantastic"; "Pretty"; "Very intercsting - a city with grc.1t potential, I hope it won't get spoiled"; "Impressed, lovely
architecture..."

Comunicato del Consolato Generale d'ltalia a Londra
Dott. Luca Brofferio
Desidero informarc i connazionali residenti nella eircoscrizione consolare di Londra ehe iI Ministero degli
Affari Esteri • nonostante gli ulteriori gravi tagli apportati al suo bilancio e che compoomettono numcrosi scrvizi
- ha dcciso di farc ogni sforzo possibile per completare I'anagrafe degli italiani residenti all'esteoo (A.I.RE.) e
di corrcggerc i numerosi errori c difetti chc ancora I'affiiggono.
•
.
A Londra il compito di "bonifiearc", come si dice tccnieamente, i dati inscriti nell'AlRE richiedera' lungo
tempo c molti sforzi sia a causa della consistenza della collettivita' residente sia perche', come e' nolo, iI
Consolato Generalc ha seri problemi logistici e di personale che gia' influiscono negativamente sui lavooo
quotidiano c sulla qualita' del servizio reso al.pubblico.
Desidero anehe sottoline.,rc che la correzione della' massima parte degli errori dell'A.I.RE. ed il suo
completamento non possono comunquc esscre fatti senza I'attiva e paziente collaborazione degli interessati,
Ora, questo Consolato Generalc intendc proccdere alia ·"bonifica" in maniera rcalistica, scnza perscgnire
una velleilaria perfczione che (oltre a csserc naluralmente incompalibile con la burocrazia) non e' conscntita dai
mezzi a disposizionc. Occorrc, cioc', raccogliere c correggere almcno quei dali essenziali - obbligatori per legge
• chc permettono, inserili nel computer, di renderc immediala la consultazione ed agevole e rapida I'emanazione
di certificati, la stampa di passaporti eec.
I datc essenziali sono: cognome, nomc, data di nascita, luogo di nascita, provincia di nascita, indirizzo di
residenza attuale complelo di "area code", comune di ultima residenza in ltalia (sc iI connazionale non ha mai
risicduto in Italia, comune di rcgistrazione dell'atto di nascita), poovincia di ultima residenza in ltalia.
Rivolgo, quindi, una viva preghiera a lutti i connazionali ehe in occasione delle ultime elezioni per il
Parlamenlo europco non hanno ricevuto it certifieato elettorale oppure I'anno ricevuto, ma errata 0 incompIelo
cd a tult; coloro che non abbiano lultora, provvcduto a regolarizzare la 1000 posizione anagrafica (iscrizione
A.I.R.E., cambio di indirizzo, eec.) di telefonare.fra le ore 14.30 e le 17.00 dallunedi' al venerdi' al scguente
numero: 0171 838 9622; corrispondente aU'Ufficio St.,to Civile - Sezione Anagrafe del Consolalo Generale di

Questi ragazzi hanno bisogno di
amore, non di condanna. Della misericordia di Dio. La condanna cc I'hanno
gia', dagli uomini. Non servono per
loro parole dure. Devono convincersi
da soli di avere sbagliato. Spiegoche
~r quanto in basso siano caduti,per
quanti crimini orrendi abbiano commesso, omicidi, stupri, rapine, Dio IL
ama cos;' Come sono. "Sei caduto
soci' in basso", dico loro, "che fai

vuole, neppure i tuoi genitori. L'unico
che ti ama cosi' come se; e' questo
Cristo sulla Croce. "
In queste lettere dal careere si
vede riaccendersi la parte piu'
bclla, piu' umana di qucste persone.
Non e' troppo facile pcntirsi quando
si sta in prigionc?
"Molto spesso la gente mi fa
notare che e' facile essere buoni
quando si sta in galera. Tutti si
convertono, sono costrctti a cambiare
vita dall'isolamento. 10 credo che
questa persona rinata, che vuole cambiare, che incontro in carccre, esiste
davvero dentro di loro e non e'

voler cambiare esistenza".

OF 17th
Regular readers of Backhill will know that last June two of our
children, Paul and Marina, opened a Nightclub, called Enzo's, within the
complex of The Inn. They are planning a week of celebrations to mark its first
anniversary with party nights on Thursday 15th and the actual anniversary
night, Friday~6th. The Saturday, they have given to us to organise the type
of evening we would like - and are we going to make the most of it!
We will take over the club for a candlelit dinner and party. We will
welcome you with Bucks Fizz Champagne Cocktail. Enzo, in collaboration with
our wonderful chef Toni Marin, will' produce a super four cours~ gourmet
dinner. The music will be«by Achille'Roma, an Italian band with real scope
and flair. Tables will be of eights- and tens to ensure lots of conversation. 'If
you don't know each other at the beginning of the evening you will by the
end, or you can organise a table for your own family or friends. Officially we
will go on to 1 am, but unofficially, as we hope everyone will be staying or
have local transport arranged, the night is ours!
In the morning you can revive yourself in the beautiful indoor
swimming pool, or wallow in the jacuzzi at least. There is' the sauna and
gymnasium for those who take their fitness seriously. The countryside is lovely
with a golf course opposite, and ancient Salisbury is -only 4 miles away. Do a
lot or nothing - the choice is yours.
We are giving Backhill readers good notice, as we tho~ght you might like
to 'make a weekend of it, which, if you are in business, takes some organising.
Also to let those of you who enjoyed our New Year Celebrations know that
good parties come more than once a year. The hotel has only 30 ensuite
double/twin rooms so it really is a case of getting in first. Tickets for the
evening are £25 per person. Double/twin rooms at the special price of £60 per
room per night, including full English Breakfast for the two people.

Inflation
"Inflation" is a tenn used to
generally describe the increase in the
cost of living. We all know, from
experience, that most items that we
purchase cost more today than thcy
did last year. Inflation is caused by
the rise in prices in the goods and
services that we purchase' which in
turn, leads to a reduction
in the value (i.e. purchasing power) of moncy.
This process can be
illustrated by a simple
example. Let us assume that I want to
buy a car in five years'
time which would today cost me £10,000.
Let us also assume that
the price of the car I have
in mind will increase by 4% each
year. In five years' time the cost of
the car will increase from £10,000 to
£12,170. Clearly £10,000 in five
years' time will buy me less than it
could today. To be precise, the purchasing power of £10,000 in five
years' time will only be £8,220.
measured in today's prices, after allowing for an 'annual rate of inflation
of 4%. Looking at in another way, the
purchasing Powcr of £12,170 in five
years' time will only be £10,000
measured in today's prices.
Therefore the process of inflation
has had' a twofold impact on my
desire to purchase a car in five years'
time: first, the price of the car is an
additional £2,170; secondly, unless I
am able to raise the additional funds,
the £10,000 that the car costs today
will be insufficient, as it will have a
reduced purchasing power· equivalent
to £8,220.
Since World War 11 the U.K. has
experienced a continual process of
increasing prices/reduction i the value
of the pound. Every year most goods
'and services have tended' to increase
in price. The rate of inflation tends to
fluctuate in response to the economic
climate and Government policy.
Higher rates of inflation will reduce
the value of money at a faster rate.
The eroding impact of inflation on
the real value of money needs to be
considered when planning your finances. Periodic reviews of your financial needs should take into account changes in your personal circumstances and monitor the progress

Dear Sir,
I am at present researching my family history and have discovered that my great grandparents lived for several years
in the vicinity of St Peter's Church in the 1890s and was hoping thilt perhaps you or your readers may help in my
research.
Both my grent grnndpnrents <:.1me from the mount.1inous region around Cassino in Lazio. My great grandfather
Antonio Mastrocola came from the villnge of Villa Santa Lueia and probably entered England in the mid 1880s. My
grent grnndmother Pasqualina Capaldi wns from the nearby village of San Miehele and probably entered England at
around the s,1me time.
Prior to their marriage in 1891 she lived in Kingston Upon Thames whilst he resided at 5 Fleet Row, Eyre Street
Hill. After the mnrriage they both lived nt Fleet Row working as ice eream makers/vendors and two sons were bom in
the house which by census reports appc.1rs to have been an overcrowded lodging house.
The family left Fleet Row in 1895 moving to 28 Little Bath Street and by 1900 moving on to Glasgow. After a brief
spell in Scotland they returned South in about 1903 evenhmlly scttling in Kingston Upon Thames where Antonio
est.1blished the Kingstoninn ice cream company which still remains in family hands to this day.
I wns hoping that maybe yourselves or your readcrs might possibly have a photograph of Fleet Row. I have searehed
various librnries, nrehives and locnl history centres so far 10 no avail. It was little more than an alleyway in the 191h
century existing belween Summers Strcet and Warner Street. The site is now occupied by the electrieity generator
opposite Chiappa's orgnn works on Eyre Slreel Hill.
I would .11so be very grntcful for nny information about Fleet Row, i.e. its houses, occupants, history etc from
anyonc who remembers it or indeed may have known of my family there. Any information will be gratefully received.
Yours faithfully,

subscribed to BACKHILL and would post it back to Australia after we had finished reading it.
Just the other day, my mother-in-law brought out one of the issues wc had posted to her. It was April '78, costing
20p. Onc of the pages of that issue contains an article entitled "ltalese", and the writer appeals to readers for other
words that could be of interest. Coincidentally, at about the smue time I came aeross a letter written by an Italian
immigrnnt to Austrnlia, which is punctuated with "Italese" throughout. I have enclosed a copy of lhe original article,

How to pick the winncr the
Grand National.
On Saturday"8 April 1995 I, along
with 12 fellow LIRA members. was at
Aintree to watch Royal. Athlete. romp,
home at 40 - 1. I, regret to say, that'
unlike two of my colleagues. I did'not
have any financial investment in
Jenny Pitman's horse. So how,',can I
write an article on picking the -'winner? Quite simply, by dispelling the
myth that Royal Athlete was an
outsider who could only have been
picked by using'a pin.
Careful' research conducted over
the years dating back to my very first
visit in 1980 discloses a clear and
consistent pattern for the ultimate
victor in the world's greatest horse
race.
In January. entries close and the
first step is to look at the age and
rating of the horse. In the last fifteen
races. no one under eight or over
twelve has won with the most successfUl age being eleven followed by
nine and twelve year olds. The rating
attempts to identify the class of horse
and is based upon a chosen weight of
12 stone 7 pounds, Again, no horse
below' a rating of 135 (very useful
handicapper) has won the National
during my period of research. The
average rating, for the winner is 155
(smart handicapper bordering high
class). In 1994, Royal Athlete was
rated 165.
Early in February. the weights arc
announced. Whilst all the cntries will
be allotted their true handicap
weights. many of them will be below
the minimum weight they must carry
in the race which is 10 stone. Hence
these horses will have their weights
increased and so are said to be "out
of the handicap". Only Little Polveir
has won from out of the handic.1p in
recent times and no one since Red
Rum. has carried more than 11 stone
5 pounds to victory.
So the first thing to do is identify
those horses who qualifY on, at least
two and ideally all three counts of
age. weight ("in the handic.1p" up to
11 stone 5lbs) and rating. Pausing at
this point, if the rating is then
adjusted to take into account the
weight. it is possible to find out the
best handicapped horses in the race.
Do not forget the rating is based upon

Richard Evans
a weight of 12 stone 7 pounds SO if a
horse is rated 100 but allocated 12
stone in a race, then he has an
adjusted rating of 107. For your
information, the best weight adjusted
horses, who, started this 'year were (1)
'Royal' Athlete at 194 and, Party Poli,ties at 189 based upon their 1994
ratings. It will not be lost upon you
'that this was the order in which they
went past the finishing post.
Unfortunately, life is not normally
so simple. It is important to take into
account fonn. both past and present.
preferably by referenCe to specified'
trial races, plus the qualities of jumping and stamina., I normally leave
these calculations until after Cheltenham and then assess a horse's perfonnances in'subsequent key races.
For jumping and stamina no horse
has fallen more than once in the year
in which he has won the race and so
consistently good jumping ability in
good handicap company must have
been demonsirated. Fuithennore, each
horse has won at least once in Grand
National year or competed in a range
of 4 - 9 races during the season. As
the National is run over 4 miles; it is
sensible to ignore horses who have
not won over at least three miles in
their history
If a horse qualifies on all of these
counts, then I draw up my short list
and this year there were seven horses
remaining for consideration:- Minnehoma, Young Hustler. Dubaeilla.
Royal Athlete, Chatham, Crystal
Spirit and Zcta's Lad. I then examine
the horse's qualities in more detail
paying particular reference to their
Timeform rating but this race card is
normally only produced 48n2 hours
before the race. By this time. of
course, a elc.1rer picture will have
been gained of the likely going which
ullimately is a critical determining factor as to which of
the short-listed horses will
ultimately gain selection.
No matter how able a horse
may be he must have going
to his liking. Indced it is
when the ground is extreme
that the unusual result" is
likely to happen. For example. Little Polveir was a
known mud-lover and the
ground was Yielding/soft in
1989 when he won from out of the
handicap.
My own eventual selection was
Young Hustler which brings me on to
the final il"d you may. think, mos~
important ingredient - luck. At the·
third fence, Young HuStler took off,
did not touch a twig and on landing
the saddle came up and hit jockey,
Carl L1ewellyn, on the backside, unseating him. No excuses from the
jockey and it was back io the drawing
board for another year. So above all
else. there is one further lesSon to
learn - spread the betS.
Aintree is a marvellous occasion once visited, the place seeps into the
blood and you have to go back for
more. Funnily enough, I only follow
racing insofar as the horses' performances are likely to effeet their Liverpool running and I save my money to
bet solely on the Aintrce meeting
(apart perhaps from a flutter on the
big two of the Champion Hurdle and
Cheltenham Gold Cup). Fo.r me, the
t1lrill comes from studying form and
trying to spot the winner early. It
would just not be the same if the pin
happened to land in the right spot.
So now it is time to start preparations for 1996 - any preliminary
thoughts? Well I was following Deep
Bramble for this year before he
injured himself in the Gold Cup and
had to be withdrawn from the National. If he holds his fonn, is given a
reasonable weight, the ground ends up
soft and he makes it to the start, then
he might just have a chance. Given
the same considerations but swopping
the going from soft to finn, Young
Hustler is also still young enough to
make his mark on the race. I wonder
what I will be saying this time next
YC.1r?
