Perfect. A forum gamble?

....I think they are NRMB.

Isn't worded as NRNB, it states "Non Runner Money Back For Bets" sounds like it's not cash back. Will ask.

Same thing chaps.

Happy with that. Deserved but the angle is all about him bouncing back.

He's going to get a lot of mentions

Barney Dwan could have a nice weight - this usually cuts right up

It does, but he has a hell of a way to go to get in at the moment.

That ground played a big part of that IMO. I hope he does get in, I have him backed, just unsure ATM.

I have been surprised before how few show up - its the only race it happens in.

There all multi entered.
He should be fine
There’s about six above him retired or injured.

Holywell bounced back with great still off 153 at the same age well clear of the 3rd

i backed Minella Rocco at Exeter last week because i couldn't resist the price, might have been out for the spin but the way he emptied i couldn't shake off the view that he's gone at the game

I appreciate your opinion but he firstly only finished 13 1/2 lengths behind the winner, over hurdles, a discipline he hasn't performed in for 4 years, led them for a fair way and was weighted 11-12. That was a fair run, and probably done exactly what it needed to do for the horse, a pipe opener I'd suggest.
