No probs mate. I’ll also risk Its Bilbo without the NRNB at 66s please for the Triumph. Cheers.
Evens looks a good price for Kopek Des Bordes assuming he gets there in one piece. Like most I was very impressed with him the last day and can’t see anything with form to rival that performance.
There’s something drawing me to Sky Lord as the each way bet. I don’t think he ran any race in the Moscow Flyer and I will back him pre-race should he be confirmed an intended runner. Currently 40s with Unibet and I am tempted.
Better Days Ahead for me. Ballyburn deserves to be a short priced favourite but I just have a niggling doubt over him in what will surely be a truly run race. I think Better Days Ahead will benefit from a strong pace and a lead which he should get.
I’ve bet Kappa Jy Pyke for this each way at 33s. Willie spoke highly of him in a recent stable interview and I’d be confident this will be the race for him.
AJ O’Neil was quoted in mid-January saying the following:
“He [Mister Meggit] had a little setback, so we won’t be in any rush to run him until he’s 100%.
“He’s in training, we just don’t want to rush him and do anything too soon.”
“Something in the spring.”
Looks like he’s not going to make Cheltenham but maybe Aintree is on the cards
Can I still change my Turner’s selection? If so can I go with:
Kappa Jy Pyke e/w 33/1 – Unibet
Cheers
Joyeuse was impressive. Demolished a decent field with ease. Lump Sum ran a big race off top weight and Navajo Indy was flying at the end, albeit far too late.
Favour And Fortune got me place money in 4th and my thoughts are already drawn to the Scottish Champion Hurdle with him. He won it last year and will be on a similar mark this year unless he wins between now and then which I think is unlikely. He still hasn’t had his favoured good ground in a big race.
Reluctantly decided to cash out on Our Champ with his preference for genuine good ground and without his usual claimer aboard.
The latest update seems to confirm he is in a critical condition. Fingers crossed he pulls through.
Happy with my Favour And Fortune bet, backed at 25s now into 8s. Not so keen on my Our Champ punt given Freddie Gordon has chosen to ride Iberico Lord instead. The current going description of ‘soft’ is also putting me off but I’ll let the bet roll because I really like the horse and I also rate Rex Dingle. Hoping for a dry couple of days down there.
Turners;
Jax Junior e/w 33/1 – BetfairBrown Advisory;
Better Days Ahead win 10/1 – Bet VictorLike Yogi I backed Stellar Story for this last year and also like Yogi, I’m siding with Wingmen this year. Unlike Yogi I’ve just placed my first antepost bet on him, each way at 20s.
She hasn’t lived up to her half a million price tag but I think Qualimita has shown enough to think she can make progress in handicaps.
