    Well spotted MOM, I thought I was doing well with 33s a few weeks back, but when I saw the 50/1
    there was no way I could turn it down. I also took the 25/1 w/o Paisley Park which seemed mad
    when he was generally 25s elsewhere anyway. I reckon Betfair are licking their wounds after
    that offer. He’s 12/1 with them now. He’s going to shrink some more when they eventually take
    Benie Des Dioux, who’s 2nd fav, out of the race. she will head to the mares Hurdle. I think the
    bet w/o Paisly Park is one of the best I’ve seen pre Cheltenham. He was hardly asked a question
    today, I think we have a real shout here :good:

    The difference in his jumping from his first run this season and so e of his runs last year was marked

    If he had jumped like that at aintree last year I firmly believe he wouldve beat champ

    The race in the Relkeel was just too bad to be true FF, something was amiss with him I
    think. Whatever it was they either sorted it or it sorted itself, his mind certainly
    wasn’t on his racing that day. He cruised round today and other than a minor mistake
    at the last he jumped and travelled well.

    With Champ going RSA as expected, I’m still left with Tobefair here.

    Maybe pushing my luck a bit, but added him 66’s EW.

    His run in The Cleeve wasn’t that bad, motoring at the end, and if there were any scares in the lead up, from those at the head of the market, or any trouble in running, then I could see him sneak a place.

    I’ll probably get the opportunity on the day to get Four Places, and I’ll go in again, but for now, standard EW will do.

    Love Paisley Park who isn’t a bad price @ 8/11. I’ve had a saver.
    But am a little worried they’ll go slow.
    Summerville Boy tried it last time and got close to the favourite. Possibly flattered but may be flattered again here and if the fav gets amongst horses… Got 10/1.
    The only other possible front runner that I can see is the forgotten horse/mare, Apples Jade. Richard Johnson an eye catching booking and only reason I can see of that is she’s going to the front. Apple has fallen but at her best (and with the mares allowance) is right up with Paisley Park’s form. Probably ruin her chance jumping right, but @ 22/1 is well worth a bet.
    Paisley Park can isle in front, so – if they do go a pace – Emitom could well be the one. Taken 13/1.
    Can’t really see any of the others being good enough.

    EDIT:
    Now 14/1 Apples Jade! :yes:

    More outsiders for ew buttons.
    Bacardys usually runs a good race
    West Approach likes it here
    Donna’s Diamond is 300-1, got to stick to my strategy ;-)

    Penhill looks very well in the paddock so I added him win only.

    City Island 12-1 ew antepost. Trainer said the drier the ground the better and it isn’t really. Favourite will be hard to beat.

    Another one to enjoy, but Donna’s Diamond 200/1 four places and Ronald Pump each way to chase Paisley Park home.

    Surely the apples jade money is for Elliot’s form , I backed on Johnston being on , I hope summerville boy can give Paisley a race and I think city island can run a big race to

    Emitom and city island the only two I can see possibly beating paisley park if he runs his race

    Absolutely chuffed for Adam Wedge. He’s a great rider who deserves a big race like this. Big thumbs up for him and for anyone who had the winner!

    I guess that is what you call a placepot buster!

    Pleased for Rebecca Curtis but disappointed for Emma Lavelle. Hope Paisley Park is OK and Penhill too.
