Early market……

First fancy for this is Myth Buster. The minute his race finished yesterday, I thought “Close Bros”, but he wasn’t quoted.
He is now though, and the opening 20’s looks more than fair.
No money down yet, but he tops the early shortlist.
It’s difficult to second guess the target for Dallas Des Pictons, but he’s possibly too big at 33’s.
Myth Buster 20’s
Johnbb is out tomorrow at Sandown, and I think he’s a really promising type.
I just think he’s the ideal type for this. He’s a big price at 40’s. I won’t be betting him for this, or tomorrow, but I thought he was worth a mention.
Least said about that the better, and I’ll not be adding Johnbb to the shortlist after that today.
Took some 25s about Hold The Note after his second on Saturday.
Would imagine he’ll be raised tomorrow to 138/9 and that should get him into this. Travels well, jumps and stays – looks tailor-made for this race. Connections won it with Mister Whitaker also as another small positive.Horrible rise for Hold The Note. Very unfortunate.
What do we think of Southfield Stone’s chances if appearing here? Strongly run race stepped up in trip would surely suit. His mark looks workable too.
I still expect to be with Myth Buster here, but with Galvin being allocated 142 for the weekend, I have to have a small early play.
On my radar for a year and a half now, so not wanting to miss the price. I’ll top up if I see bigger as well, but have to reign myself in a wee bit, as I still see potential in him for NH Chase, and I’ll be betting him there as well.
Galvin 20’s
With it being so much harder to cash out this season, I took advantage of being able to cash out here.
I’ll still go with Galvin, but I like him for NH Chase as well, so I’ll go back in here once the picture is clearer or I can get bigger than 12’s NRNB.
Didn’t notice your Galvin selection here Bobby, but after looking into him a fair bit last night the 20s here is definitely worth a bet!
Started off in the same Galway beginners chase as the yards horse for this a couple of years back in De Plotting Shed.
Davy Russells efforts on him after the last on his two runs since have been hands and heels to get placed but nothing more really. Ran well last year in the Ballymore to finish 6th and ran very well behind Getaway Trump (GT followed up in a handicap off 147) at Ayr and is rated 142 in the UK so will definitely get in with a nice mark.Yeah, I’ve been following him since Perth in the summer of 2018, and though disappointing that he didn’t quite get there last term, it hasn’t put me off.
I’ll have a fair bet on him whatever race he ends up in.
Id have Imperial Aura now, did anyone see the trainers comments after cheltenham, seemed very happy..ill also back Eric Le Rouge if he comes here
With Galvin confirmed here, I’ve topped up at 12’s NRNB.
I think he’s got a real chance, and happy to have him on side, though I’ll definitely add another on the day.
Galvin has fell to the bottom of the list on Betfair, which is never a good sign.
Early Doors and At The Acorn jumping out too, but I’ll no be diving in.
De bromhead to do the business with this one again – put the kettle on – came over to chelt and passed the trial. Still 20s in one firm
I like Put the kettle on too Pointer, but would be careful of backing her without NRNB as I read that she is definitely going to the Arkle according to HDB.
I’d be very sweet on Pistol Whipped for this if I thought Mcgrath was riding and not De Boinville. Maybe it’s just me but can’t see how he’s No 1 at Seven Barrows, he really can’t judge a horse into a fence or a hurdle. Anyway, other than that, this horse has an engine, cane from well off the pace to win under McGrath. Fell st first under NDB then ran with the choke out against much higher rated rivals, but still ran with great credit. Should have a decent weight here 1st time in a handicap, strong run race, could be a great bet if lining up.
