    Always like an Antepost on this, a race I really like, and no different this year.

    I was quite excited about Thanksforthehelp going into this years Pertemps, but he was well beaten in the end. He got his head in front next time, but main concern for me is his poor run here in the spring. I’m sure he’s better than that, I think he’s still better than his mark, and yard like to target this. Happy to bet him just now.

    Definitely like to have two in this so already have a shortlist for the backup……

    Carcaci Castle
    Ed Keeper
    Elvis Mail
    Gowel Road
    Schalke
    Wasdell Dundalk

    Thanksforthehelp 20’s

    Goshhowposh has only gone up 4lbs for his win at Exeter on handicap debut. That was on good ground, which wasn’t ideal given he’s a thorough stayer. His jumping was sloppy and would need to improve but i could see him going well. I think he’s very well handicapped. 16s.

    I’ve had Santos Bluenin mind for this race for some time now. I think that he has a better chance than his 20-1 suggests, and I’ll bet him here once weekend entries are confirmed

    Stuzzikini @20s for me, ran a nice race last time winning at Clonmel beating some decent rivals, main concern is this would be its 15th run in the last 12 months. trip and going in his favour and a very consistent sort.

    Was going to sit this out after Thanksforthehelp didn’t go, but Schalke doesn’t go to Market Rasen on Thursday now, so another risky Antepost stab at this

    Schalke 40’s EW

    You timed that well Bobby!

    33s now best, a fair few shorter than that.

    I had looked at the race + he was one i was shortlisting along with….Lord Snootie, Dubrovnik Harry + Carbon King.

    Decided that even though going off 11/2 vs now stayers prospect Buddy One LTO at Galway i don’t think Lord Snootie was going that well when he made the error so 14s wasn’t THAT appealing, and now shorter.

    Harry + Carbon King are still potential bets options but i’ve taken 33s on Schalke too.

    Schalke looks like 3m and Haydock soft will be his bag anyway.
    Menzies is also decent to follow with handicapper hurdlers- 353 runners 49 winners 82 placed + as this is 4places that even extends to 123 placed!

    Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!

    I’ll be playing pyramid place in a couple of each way doubles and small stakes single.

    Always seems to be overlooked in decent races when his form is amongst the best on offer. Won the silver trophy virtually hard held penultimate start.

    Currently 40/1.

    Have been sucked in by the connections of CRAMBO who believe he will be a serious grade 1 horse this year. The owner stated that he’s put plenty on him for the Stayers at Cheltenham in March.
    Couldn’t resist putting a little bit on.

    The intriguing runner for me is HOWLINGMADMURDOCK (took 20/1 6 places) who was 5th in the Sefton grade 1 at Aintree back in April. The top 6 were the only ones who made any sort of impression that day and 3 of those have won nicely over fences on re-appearance with the other 3 yet to race (Apple Away runs on same card, am sweet on her)

    Slate Lane drifted out to 5/1 and I think that is interesting. He could easily be a 140s horse.

    Slate Lane 5/1

    Jack, the bet not looking so clever now, but after considering Santos Blue and Wakool, I’ll just stick with Schalke and hope the markets wrong. Looking ominous right now though

    Thought there were 4 or 5 interesting bigger priced horses

    Came down on

    Gowel Road
    Emitom
    And Santos blue

    Looks a tricky race

    Hopefully the emmet mullins/Paul Byrne horse loses

    Really don’t like that trainer or owner, scammers the pair of them

    Goshhowposh solely on the name but not without a chance at the bottom.

    The more I know the less I understand.
