For those on the 5/1 Nicholls to win the race...

Nicholls said: "We'll probably end up running four in the Foxhunter.

"Unioniste won at Fontwell and will be ridden by Mr (David) Maxwell who owns him. Virak, who will be ridden by Lorcan Williams, Wonderful Charm, who will be ridden by Sam Waley-Cohen as they have bought into the horse now, and Pacha Du Polder, who won it last year and ran at Doncaster last week (will also run).

I am guessing the 5/1 is no longer there? If it is can someone kindly point me in the right direction? I have quite a bit staked on burning ambition and be good cover.

Skybet Cheltenham Request A Bet but I think it's long gone. Commiserations on your losing BA bet.

All the more reason to check on the forum every day, and nuggets like this will be highlighted

I quite like Cousin Pete

Each Way @ 25-1 [Skybet] BOG & NRNB

Thought he was unlucky not to beat Sir Jack Yeats at Market Rasen, who has won since.

Pete didn't get the best of rides, but over further and better ground think he is a live contender

Ended up replacing Morning Assembly with Barel Of Laughs at 40/1. Had to dig a little because like several horses he wasn't originally listed on Oddschecker.

He was third last year at 100/1 but has well at Cheltenham several times. He is one of the pensioners and although it was a poor race last year this year's renewal is only of similar quality.

Personally think it's without a doubt the strongest renewal iv seen.
You've got

Wonderful charm
Virak
Burning ambition
Foxrock
Volnay de thaix
Caid du berlais
Unioniste

It's a very strong but open renewal.

Burning Ambition could easily be a non-stayer and then you left with how much the others have deteriorated. I suspect plenty.

You have to take the race were looking at into that apparent deteriation. Anything that could go close in a 3m class 2 handicap would have a cracking chance in this. None of these would be winning a graded race.

The likes of volnay de thaix would tank all over barrel of laughs in a match race. Can be a rough race in a big field of inexperienced jockeys though. You could run this 5 times and have 3 or 4 different winners.

I don't need to get involved in this race now... I'm done

but Wonderful Charm at 7/1 (or 6/1 NR) is a decent price. Sam Waley-Cohen knows how to win on that course and distance and the occassion won't get to him.

HAving watched the price crash on Burning Ambition, if you looked at the race now, I'd 100% take WC at 7/1 than BA at 4/1

Waley-Cohen would have been a plus about 5 years ago.

Do you see him as a negative now?

[BigChaang]

On I.t.v racing today ., Mark johnston (Racecaller ) gave a shout for Foxrock .the other commentator's saying he know's his
stuff with the Foxhunter racing .

[kinloch brae]

Do you see him as a negative now?

Obviously, not a negative as such but probably not the big plus lots of people will assume. 9 winners in the last three seasons and 20 in previous three. I think that is a reasonable reflection.
