General Miller – UR 25/1Yeah not Nickys fav race on the stats……..i really cant see Cue Card passing this one up either…wouldnt be at all surprised to see Cue Card win by a big distance here…congrats on the nice prices will set you up nicely for the rest of the meeting
I think Day of a lifetime could win the supreme if willie goes for it. The supreme is a weaker division than neptune in terms of depth and cue card can easily bomb out on the day. He jumps good too.

Yeah i agree bout Day of a Lifetime……i can see that one filling a place…..that one will be an each way saver for me on the day
Willie Mullins has said that he has slight worries about running Day of a Lifetime in the supreme due to inexperience, he may go for the Neptune.

Just checked BF, for small money Day of a Lifetime shorter on Supreme market than Neptune for what its worth!
Haven’t got a clue what Day of A Lifetime’s target is. THe price on betfair may well be shorter for the supreme and it may be an indication of the target especially as the money for the supreme is very recent. I have been tracking the price for both races and up until yesterday, I thought the Neptune was the likelier option looking purely at BF price. He was available to back at 50s for the Supreme over the weekend and has been backed in with the last matched price of 29. Still I am bamboozled by the choice as I think he would go well in the Supreme even though he has had just the one run over the timber
According to Patrick Day Of A Lifetime runs in the Supreme. So Young goes for the Neptune.

General Miller – UR 25/1That makes very interesting reading. Any theories as to why the record is as it is? Or is it just a case of him being ‘due one’.
He seems to be a very patient trainer who wouldn’t ask too much of a horse too early (doesn’t like the Cheltenham Bumper for that reason). He often keeps his good young horses away from tough competition in their early days. Maybe as a consequence, despite having abundant class, some of his horses are not streetwise enough for the supreme at that stage of their career?
Oscar Whisky last year is a prime example, two odds on canters in his novice hurdle season before the supreme. I remember him saying in Feb ’10 that he ran OW at Sandown on a Friday instead of facing Menorah at Ascot a day later.
I don’t have a theory but it is strange, particularly compared to his Triumph record with equally inexperienced horses…
Perhaps this is his year, but I couldn’t back either at around the 5/1 or 6/1 mark
C’mon Cue Card
I read (one of the preview night reports I think) that he’d had a slight setback but the Hobbs team were still hopeful
I’ve had a little dabble e/w at 40/1 NRNB
Found it – from the Exeter preview:
Philip Hobbs (PH)
PH: Cue Card is very good but I agree with Nick that not running for a while may be an issue. Dunraven Storm has a squeak if I can get him there but he banged a joint this week.Cue Card from looks very solid. The stats may be against him but all the form points to him and the form of the opposition looks unconvincing. His hurdling is very good and the faster they go the better it will be for him (lets face it this one is not going to be tactical !! ) reading between the lines i think Tizzard has been itching to have a crack at the Champion Hurdle but the owners have lowered his sights.
I am loathed to have a big punt on the first race of the festival but i am sorely tempted with Cue Card, i have a feeling he could win this with plenty to spare.- Total Posts 17716
Paddy Power have gone "Cue Card wins and you get your money back on all other bets", they’ve got it right the last 2 years and I think they’ve got it right this year too.
Zaidpour will have a very good chance, the better ground and distance will be in his favour. I’ve also had a NRNB on Marsh Warbler. He may go to the Triumph, in which case he’ll win it (just my opinion) but hopefully he runs in this, he’ll have an outstanding chance.
