    Left out Douvan intentionally – too easy at 1/3

    Mine is number 9 on your list.

    It would be either Yanworth or Thistlecrack. I’m trying to go non-Mullins with his short ones and look for some handicap value instead.

    Vroum vroum for me in the mares… The proverbial ‘handstands’…

    The mortgage is already down on Un De Sceaux ante post at an average odds of about 13/8

    You’re better off mate – footloose and fancy-free.
    Feel free to vote on which horse you’d put the month’s rent on!

    The non Mullins logic is interesting alright – both horses mentioned would be at Douvan type price if came from Mullins yard.

    Thistlecrack at anything like 11/8 or 6/4 is one of the bets of the week.

    Yanworth. The way he coasted clear with the greatest of ease last time
    out at Cheltenham makes him look a bit of a monster.

    Nope, don’t pay rent either.

    Bugger, well done then Ginger, you’re ahead of the game.
    I’ve got ten years on you then. If I say that quick enough,
    then apparently it doesn’t count :whistle:

    Never had one BigG, bought my house 20 years ago. Even when carpet fitting always knew what I wanted to do for a living and therefore cutting down on needed future expenditure was going to be wise/less stressfull. Funnily enough, now I wouldn’t even be considered for a mortgage anyway in my line of work. :whistle:

    First of all I don’t have a mortgage like GT house bought and paid for!

    Secondly I think all of these are beatable!!

    Thirdly if you forced me to bet one of them it would be Un De Sceaux but I am still not convinced by his jumping!!
