I’m still convinced that Any Second Now can take advantage of his mark in Ireland, and I did consider him here, but I just wonder if Fairyhouse would be considered, despite him not having the ideal profile for that. Same applies to Ontheropes. Threw a few quid his way last time, and I’m sure I can get that back this year. He’s definitely on my radar for Fairyhouse.
I’m hoping there’s an Antepost Market for this, but it doesn’t get priced up every season. If there is one, then I’ll definitely bet Diol Ker. Not a horse I’ve bet before, and he’s kind of passed me by, but I think they’ve looked after him a bit recently, and this could be the time to bet him
Diol Ker
Started chipping away at the JP pair at 20’s, and possibly a backup on Royal Thief here.
February 18, 2024 at 09:41 #1681557Finally found a race i’m semi interested in!
Queen Jane is my pick. 5 chase starts + showing herself to be pretty promising when a hd second to Brides Hill a horse i’d give a decent chance to in March. QJ looked to be staying well at Punchestown over 2m6 and her pedigree really screams at being a staying type.
I saw her at 20s slept on it and had to take 14s about her. I thought she’d be half that price. Really did.
Obviously the WPM runner is thrown in and could win this doing handstands but he has to jump and on his 3 starts over fences he hasn’t looked the most fluent. He’s very inexperienced and i wouldn’t want to be taking that price.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!February 18, 2024 at 10:38 #1681562I’ll try My Immortal 10-1 ew 5 places
February 18, 2024 at 11:20 #1681569Couple of tickled e.w , Royal Thief has course form , won a amateurs race get convincingly , not shown much for Elliott get but I’ll take a big price , Frontal Assault is pretty constant in these , very hard horse to win with but he should be on the premises
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
February 18, 2024 at 13:02 #1681580I’ll have a small bet on Street Value at 16/1 who is proven over staying trips and has the assistance of Danny Mullins.
February 18, 2024 at 14:11 #1681591I’ll join you Ex ruby and I’ve taken 18-1 him, 28-1 frontal assault.
However as Jack says the Mullins one could be thrown in and the way the market is going, he’s expected to win here
February 18, 2024 at 14:24 #1681593I’ll join Ruby and Eezer on Street Value ew

The more I know the less I understand.

February 18, 2024 at 14:48 #1681596Well done RtB. The Mullins horse was 4-6 in running when they were still over a mile out
February 18, 2024 at 14:49 #1681597Well done winners.
February 18, 2024 at 14:54 #1681599Cheers

The more I know the less I understand.
February 18, 2024 at 15:00 #1681600In the end, none of the runners will run in the GN. I don’t think Any Second Now’s rating of 144 will be enough, especially not when 40 lengths behind the winner. The handicapper might drop him a pound or two.
February 18, 2024 at 15:26 #1681608The winner might be one for Aintree next year. All he does is stay, and Kennedy said that he doesn’t think the horse needs deep ground.
