What they say: 'He's a monster of a horse and goes for the Boodles'

Philip Hobbs, trainer of Camprond, Sporting John, Pileon and Orbys Legend
There’s no preference with Camprond, he’ll be left in the Coral Cup and Martin Pipe. Sporting John [Pertemps] is good but he’s also in the Stayers' Hurdle. There will need to be discussions with JP [McManus] and Frank Berry to see where their other runners go, I can’t make a decision yet. Pileon is a likely runner in the Pertemps but Orbys Legend is undecided, they’re both well.

Mouse Morris, trainer of Whatsnotoknow and Get My Drift
I'm happy with them both. Whatsnotoknow is entered for the Pertemps Final and it was interesting to see that the handicapper must have been impressed by him [in giving him a 10lb higher mark than in Ireland]. It hasn't been decided whether he'll run there yet. Get My Drift has the option of the County Hurdle but it's not certain as to whether he'd get in.

Olly Murphy, trainer of Dr TJ Eckleberg and Swinging London
They’re both in good form and head to the Boodles, they’re big prices but hopefully they can outrun their odds. Neither of them has done anything wrong but it’s a tight race and they’d have small each-way chances.
