    Thanks for the replies. Hopefully Botchy is right. My main concern is the sportsbook are biggest prices for both handicap races. Recently i tried to change my mindset and ignored PP going 3/1 on Melon, and there was an investigation into the betting patterns after the race. I think they knew. Nicholls does an article with betfair. I’m just wondering…

    Not one I trust Jack, doesn’t put it all in for me. He’s been 2nd 6 out of the last 10 runs, most of those at around 2/1.

    2 of them over inadequate tests for me…

    most of the hurdles were against fair horses!

    sounds good to me, definitely of strong interest in the County! Will have to look through the other runners but will probably have a bet on Charli Parcs before the entries are out incase he gets cut in the betting

    Does anyone know where one can see all the conditions for the Handicap races at the Festival? I can never remember which handicap races are for what ratings and what penalties apply etc.

    Hope this helps CNC. I’m sure there are some amendments since this publication, and The Close Bros Novices, might have a 145 ceiling now, but not 100%

    Close Brothers is indeed now a 0-145.

    The handicap entries are released tuesday, looking forward to getting stuck into them.
