I’ve backed Tell Us More, taking the 25/1 as soon as it was confirmed that his rating will remain 143. He was a funny horse when with Willie Mullins. If you watch Douvan’s Supreme Novices’, you’ll notice this horse travelling better than anything (winner included!) before curling up the straight. He often shaped as if he had some sort of problem but won his share of races over hurdles and fences for the yard.
Switched to Gordon Elliott for two starts early in the season, there has been much more end product from Tell Us More. He beat 150s performers Alisier D’Irlande and The Game Changer despite a terrible round of jumping over fences, digging quite deep to assert after the last. He’s potentially thrown-in.
Winter Escape and Peace And Co could also be huge blots on the handicap, but there’s a bit less guessing required with Tell Us More. At least we’ve seen him run to 160ish in the last 12 months, whereas those two haven’t even completed a race in that time. The prices have gone for all three now but I’m happy with my position.
I’ll probably have one more slightly creative bet on the day (6 places please!) with Vosne Romanee, currently 33/1 in a place. Dr Newland’s potions are certainly kicking in with this one and he has been improving rapidly over hurdles and on the flat in the last year. I’m not worried about his long absence as Newland told Coral Champions Club back in October that the horse would have a long break, then one or two all-weather runs, then the County Hurdle. He hasn’t run in this standard of race before, but Newland is usually adept at knowing exactly what he has on his hands.
Peace and co dosent run.
I’d give tell us more a shout though.
And add in mick jazz for good measure.
Will be interesting to see how Cilaos emery gets on in the supreme in regards to the latter.1st buveur dair

Haha.
They were quite happy to take a bet a few years ago when I knew little about the game
I think at festivals and big meetings they should put restrictions to one side as a goodwill gesture. There’s plenty of liquidity in the market.Worth remembering that you can have up to £20 on with Skybet here and get it back as a free bet if it loses

Yep; that’s a fantastic offer. Gives more incentive to back an outsider. I threw it on Cilaos Emery.
If you can get on.
I don’t qualify for any promotions with skybet . Checked on live chat as i thought this maybe an exception. But this one not available too.As expected

Can’t see them having 2 live chances in the Ryanair and only 1 in the Gold cupDon Poli has been ruled out of the Gold Cup.

I havent backed for either race but personally would think it would be a good decision. The horses in the Stayers aside from jezki are all exposed at this trip and jezki himself has questions to answer. if he gets a similar ride to which runs by gave him last time he’d have a chance of a place.
The AB is full of unexposed horses who could turn out to be that much better than the current Stayers crop. he’s already been beaten 3 times by wholestone who’s a solid benchmark, but I’m pretty sure we will find out that a couple of the Irish horses are different gravey.
This is the Tizzard quote in the RP.
“Will Thistlecrack’s half-brother West Approach run in the Stayers’ Hurdle?
Steve Allen
John and Heather Snook are very keen on it, so it’s very likely. All they worry about is the odds-on favourite Unowhatimeanharry – the rest of the field they feel he’s shown enough form to beat, so it looks a perfectly sensible choice. For me it’s a sentimental thing, with Thistlecrack having won it last year, and that’s they way we’re leaning at the moment, but it could change tomorrow if something happens to a couple of the top horses for the Albert Bartlett. He could still switch but the Stayers’ is the most likely option.”Only just caught up on this news thanks steeplechasing
