Shame Dickie Diver is side lines.

I really fancy Early Doors, this will surely be his target now. He will be out after xmas after a break, and i expect will to qualify for this race and run over 3 miles.
Hes JPs best hope now i think. I keep nibbling at 33s and will go in again once he declared for a 3 mile race.

The other horse i like is Carefully Selected,but i very much doubt Willie will send him here. Im confident he will be RSA bound.

I think Bramaha Bull will be mullins horse for this.

This race is going to cut up quite badly. IF the Cap fits is still value at 9/1

Have backed him at 12s EW and have gone in again at 9s EW.

He a tough horse who is still relatively unexposed over this trip. He finds plenty for pressure and i really like the trainer and jockey.

The other EW play is Bacardys at 20/1 buy i have not backed him yet.

Paisley Park is the one to beat though

I will be backing the Glancing Queen at 12/1 once she is declared for a hurdle.
Shes on the road to recovery from a splint, but nothing serious.

She ran well in last years bumper even though she pulled like a train. The form of that race is very strong, and then she went on to aintree and won.

12/1 is great price and i will be on EW before she runs

Thanks for confirming regarding novice status.

I think he has loads of scope and will get three miles no problem. He is not a boat and idles abit when he’s in front.

My main concern Is how well will he travel over? This is a worry. I have backed him down from 33s into 16s, but won’t touch him now 10s or lower.

Great run from saldier. Very happy with that

But the horse to take out from the race was Sharjah. Hated the ground and pulled really hard.

28/1 is very good value. I think he’s the quickest horse in the division and will improve for the run and on better ground he Is no way a 28/1 ****.v

Topped up at 28/1 EW singles and multiples

[atthepost]

Please can someone confirm is ANY SECOND NOW is still a novice chaser come the festival?

[atthepost]

I’ve lumped on BATTLEOVERDOYEN so many times and will continue to do so. Still over priced at 16s have gone in again. Can’t believe best 365 left him at 20s and only cut him yesterday.

Battleoverdoyen is still the value. Just hope he travels over better this year. Expect him to be 10/1 after today

Champ is class, but just to short for an ante post bet.

If I had to guess I think JPs horses will be aimed at these races. Bit of a puzzle

Supreme- ANDY DEFRENSE
BALLYMORE- BLUE SARI & DLAURO
ALBERT B- CHANTRY HOUSE

As soon as Mullins said he thinks BLUE SARI is more of a staying type. I assume he must have a AEROPLANE for the supreme and my guess it is FLY SMART. He doesn’t want to run his best novices against eachother.

Good luck all

Well done to the winners. Happy a welsh trainer won, fantastic for Kerry Lee. Unlucky slate house backers. Didn’t jump well enough bu has some engine

Tizzards should of chanced SH first time out off 135 and gone for caspian double.

I think they will do that next time when they have a good one chucked in.

Really fancy Quoi De Neuf EW for this, and have been backing him EW from 33s down to 16s in singles and EW multiples.

I have smashed him, and got a small fortune on him.

Loved his prep run at chepstow, behind Speed Company, who was chucked in on his flat rating. His hurdle form last year behind Good Boy bobby looks very good. My worry is he might get tapped for toe, but he stays very and has a very good attitude. This race might become abit of a slog, the more rain the better for him, hes handicapped to go very close.

He ticks all the boxes, he is unexposed, goes well on soft ground, has a low racing weight, Evan Williams had a few recent winners. There is a lot to like.

I still think hes over priced at 16s. He my NAP for the three days

Good Luck All happy Punting

[atthepost]

Have backed ANDY DUFRESNE AT 20/1 for the SUPREME. Bags of pay, stays and jumps well

Not a chance he will go for the ALBERT BARTLETT, I cant believe hes FAV for that race. Connections have blue sari, chantry hill, dlauro for the ballymore and Albert Bartlett.

Good luck all

Two bullets for me:

Belami Des Pictions 33/1 EW- missed the 40s unfortunately

VW current form is excellent. An entry for kind George is very surprising, so i assume he flying at home. Mark of 146 is fair. I’m also surprised they went to aintree with Cepage when his cheltenham course form is strong. I think over priced at 33s considering stable form.

Us and Them 14/1 EW- Graded horse in handicap off 152. hoping he turns up.

Good Luck all

[atthepost]

Have backed Us And Them @ 14/EW. They have had this race in mind for a while. Good graded form, good prep run and goes on soft ground.

I thought 2m was to sharp for him last season, 2.4 should be ideal

Probably given a mark of 152 when the weight come out

Good luck

[atthepost]

Have backed Thyme Hill 25/1EW small stake.He looks very smart and Taylor made for this race. Hobbs might send him here as well

[atthepost]

But if samcro bombs out, My main fancy is Allaho at 16s

Had small bet on mister fisher @ 50/1 EW

[atthepost]

Have backed samcro at 16s with bet 365. Over priced if back to his best. Cash out option is key if he crashes
