I actually got 66-1 BOG, NRNB, cash out available until after the Foxhunters’ has finished… but I don’t like to brag.
Not until after the race, anyway.

Blimey, even Mike couldn’t beat that! What a great price.
“Today’s run speaks for itself.”
You are not suggesting a Skelton horse is going to find improvement for the spring air, are you Glad?
Anyway, it would be foolish not to follow you and VTC in. 33/1 but boosted to 36.75/1 with Hills.
Finally added Faivoir
Edit, Irancy on the shortlist too.
2nd edit, Faivoir topped upNRNB added 4th March, had been left out in error, but was added on Betting Thread twice in Feb

Can anyone tell me the conditions of this race? Is there a ceiling? Mark usually needed to get in?
Looks to me as if Hughie Morrison may be teeing up secret squirrel for this with his run in the kingwell?
No ceiling. Race has not filled the last few years so mark is probably not too relevant except that because there is no ceiling, if something really highly rated headed the weights the new rule for all handicaps is you can’t run if you are 15lbs out of the weights. Given the champion hurdle is desperate this year I cant see that scenario happening as anything north of 150 probably gives the Champion Hurdle a go instead. Secret Squirrell probably fine if this is the plan imo
To be honest the out of the handicap thing is unlikely to be an issue as its a 26lb weight range and you get 14 on top of that to be allowed to run out of the weights so thats 40lb worth of scope. It is going to be an issue in the Cross Country probably as that is a limited handicap anyway so not the full 26lb range and Stumptown is quite high on his rating if an intended/likely top weight
As a member I also added Favoir. NRNB as 130 might not be enough to get in this year, last year he ran of 136.

I think they got him wrong last season. Stable debut at Cheltenham and led from the front over 2.5
They changed that at Aintree and the form is good; this tends to be won by horses patiently ridden and 2 miles on the New Course should be ideal.Added Serious Challenge 25s ew. Was impressed how he quickened between between the last two flights, if he can be held on to longer that would improve his chances.
Mondo Man number 55 on the list at the moment but after today (with I think a double penalty?) should get in. There used to be a big bonus for winning Imperial Cup > Any race at Cheltenham, but not sure that applies anymore. Looked to have plenty in hand today but for mistake at the last.
[Edit: Moore interviewed after the race was non-committal, seems to be favouring Flat campaign and Royal Ascot]
