    I go 5/6 times a month and it's incredible how you can stand in a ring of 20 bookies and they will all have the same prices, this in a cold wet windy winters day at Plumpton or Wincanton or Ludlow.
    They all plug their boards into Betfair and the machine sets the price, no variation, just dull....
    Lucky enough to have a relative who owns four horses so go a fair bit.

    Must admit to doing all my bets online the night before though. Can't stand not getting BOG from the on course bookmaker or backing something which was double the price at 5pm the day before!

    • Presenting Percy, with 365 - 9/2 1/4 the odds - BOG.

      If he is out of the frame in this race, I will be absolutely STUNNED!!!!!!!!!!

      I am not sure how much I want to 'tie-up' now - but PP can't miss if going here surely

      • He is going in loads of doubles at that price for me.

          I'm not sure what price I was expecting but he's got hardly any question marks at all. Jockey being one, but absolutely no way they won't be able to attract someone decent!!!

                  Wouldn't be my first pick but happy enough if that was the case.

                  Was anything mentioned on the line with Davy about the horse?

                    Been matched at 8s on the exchange, still 20s in a place and 16s with BV, be surprised if he doesn't run here now

                    • Are PP going nrnb? Presenting Percy cut to 3/1 with them for this race.

                        • Atrocious price. I'd expect him to be bigger on the day if he lined up

                            Last 10 favs have been these prices:

                            2017 - 4/1f - A Genie In Abottle - 5th
                            2016 - 5/1f - Southfield Royale - 4th
                            2015 - 7/2f - Very Wood - 10th
                            2014 - 3/1f - Foxrock - 9th
                            2013 - 9/4f - Back In Focus - 1st
                            2012 - 5/1f - Teaforthree - 1st
                            2011 - 5/1f - Chicago Grey - 1st
                            2010 - 6/1f - Mobaasher - 5th
                            2009 - 4/1f - Can't Buy Time - 4th
                            2008 - 9/2f - Ornais - 5th

                            The 9/2 NRNB now looks like it'll be the SP on the day to me. If I was forced to guess.

                            • I think the SP will be shorter, probably closer to the price of Back in Focus, should Presenting Percy turn up here.

                                Still hard to know what the opposition will be at this stage. I'm hoping Elegant Escape, Impulsive Star, Fagan and Presenting Percy will be my 4
