Sorry if this has already been created- i did check the first 3 pages.
Hopefully it won’t be quite as bad as the Cork National in regards to Elliot runners. The entries give hope anyway.
The one that immediately catches my eye again is Idas Boy. He’s been given entries a lot this year without ever running. The last one was in the G2 at Down Royal when the meeting was cancelled (don’t think he was reentered for the rescheduled fixture). He screams to me “staying handicapper” and i’ll be shocked if 142 isn’t very very exploitable.
If declared i’d assume he’s fit to fire as he’s been so entered up this season, he’s been ready to at least run for a while, unless he’s picked up some knocks along the way…20/1 available i won’t back but he’s the one!

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!November 12, 2023 at 13:48 #1670234Jack, there’s a thread at the top of page that shows you what races have already been started
I’m with Ain’t That A Shame as an early ante-post in this, but I’ll have an Elliot runner too once the final field is known
Ps I like your Idas Boy call
November 13, 2023 at 15:44 #1670378A few of these are entered for a Listed chase at Wexford this Friday including Bronn and Idas Boy. I think we get the equivalent of the 5 day stage tomorrow for this so interesting to see who is left from the 39 currently but if not many defect the declaration stage for that Wexford race will be Wednesday lunch to give a few more clues.
Hollow Games was the obvious one for me but couldn’t touch him ante post at that price with so many Elliott and Bective Stud entries. Minella Crooner would be the other one but he’s in that Wexford race potentially so obviously can’t touch him either yet. Probably one to wait and see at the declaration stage for me.
November 14, 2023 at 20:58 #1670467Nice to see Elliot giving others a chance….he only has 17 of the 24 runners currently declared!
November 14, 2023 at 22:38 #1670472wow LD. have to admit i didn’t envisage that.
So poor to see, it looked a proper race. Still, i’d be against his looking at the card.

November 15, 2023 at 11:38 #1670488Looks like I’ll be joining Mike.
Meade has sent Idas Boy to Wexford where if he runs half well 142 is ruined. A 9yo, I’m not really sure there’s much benefit to this as I can’t see him going to the top.
Surely the Troytown was his race to try for.
With devilscoachman left in he is probably now going to be the pickTwitter: Jackh1092
Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!November 17, 2023 at 02:41 #1670695I’ll no doubt be cursing myself if Limerick Lace, or particularly Coko Beach do it, but for my second bet, I had to take that 20’s on Run Wild Fred
Decent comeback at Limerick, and only 4lbs higher than when he won this impressively two years back. 20’s just looks too big
Run Wild Fred 20’s
Thedevilscoachman 8’sNovember 17, 2023 at 12:32 #1670729I hope you see this Jack 40/1 Idas Boy with PP/Betfair paying 6 places, fill your boots if you’ve got an account
Only thing is he was a non-runner today due to the ground apparently and its not much better at Navan
November 17, 2023 at 13:34 #1670736I got the max i could? Which is pennies. Thank you though :)
33s taken on 888bet- didn’t even know i had one lol
ah if that’s the case then money back again, but can see him beign much much shorter, win or lose.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!November 17, 2023 at 22:22 #167077915 out of the 22 runners, bizarre.
November 17, 2023 at 22:48 #1670782Run Wild Fred was one of my favourite jumpers before his setback. I’ve taken 10-1 with Jack Kennedy riding
November 18, 2023 at 15:47 #1670922I’m with two of the Gigginstown crowd here, with Coko Beach 20-1, and Royal Thief 40-1
November 19, 2023 at 08:45 #1670994EWs on Gevrey and Fakir d’Alene for me- who knows how much ability the latter retains but at least he has had a pipeopener in a P2P.
November 19, 2023 at 11:30 #1671018Idas boy pain continues
Farouk dalene arguably was a grade 1 horse before his lay off and he’s got a good 7lb claimer on.
If he jumps fluent and is fit enough he could really take the beating.
Lots of ifs and with all these runners he could just be out for a run. Let’s see what the market doesTwitter: Jackh1092
Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!November 19, 2023 at 13:29 #1671028I’m in the Hollow games camp , expect to see some improvement for the step up in distance , some nice form lines to , at bigger Royal Thief has the tongue tie and cheekpieces on , disappointing last time but let’s see if Elliot can work the Oracle after the first run for him
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
November 19, 2023 at 14:39 #1671048Well done, All Jeff.
I’m sure VTC is kicking himself after that result.
