    The Storyteller looks like a classic Elliot plot job and I congratulate those who got double figures as far back as December!

    He’d likely be my main play with some each way interest on Welsh Saint, Stoney Mountain and Kilbricken Storm. I hate to abandon Unowhatimeanharry at such a big price, but I really don’t want five, especially after the week I’m having!

    All about The Storyteller for me here, but got to have some back up.

    Dream Berry was an interesting early shout for Eamonn on here. I’m joining you Eamonn at 16’s.

    I’ve banged on about Kansas City Chief for what seems like years now, and he’s not delivered. Not bloody once. He’s 66’s, so in I go again.

    Dream Berry 16’s

    The Storyteller 12’s

    I’m joining Eamonn as well for a Jonjo family handicap plot

    Dream Berry 16s
    Rocket Lad 70s
    Sunset Showdown 90s

    All ew 7pl with Paddy Power.
    Rocket Lad might flop again (in which case I fully expect him to be tucked away with a wind op and will be loading on him come Galway) but worth a few shekels- he has talent.

    Sunset Showdown is an absolute rogue but might be happy fresh.

    Good luck :good:

    Get in!! Great ride and cannot believe the price. If ever two horses were plotted up for a handicap this was it.

    WD Cork, Lemons and Ray :good:

    And everyone with EW money.
    Rocket Lad had a canter round the back so no doubt something still wrong.
    Sunset Showdown gave me a run for my money, Dream Berry a bit disappointing.

    Hmmm.
    First two lucky not to feel the weight of the Warwick stewards on their previous starts. :negative:

    I wonder what price you could get for either of those two jockeys to finish 4th 5th or 6th in a Pertemps qualifier? Maybe evens if the bookies were feeling particularly generous.

    OK. Bit of a n00b question this, so don’t shoot me down.

    What sort of chance would Sire Du Berlais have had in the Stayers? Afterall, top weight to win the handicap at the same distance, on the same track and surface.

    Interesting that the Pertemps winner gets more prize money than the third in the championship race, which must be a factor in the race planning. Thoughts?

    I know what the critics are saying. I said myself on page 1 of this thread that Sire Du Berlais was not knocked about at Warwick.

    It was obvious the front two were both going to find a lot more from their runs in the qualifiers. Not saying it is right but we all know the score with the Pertemps. Maybe the race conditions need to be reconsidered.
