  • Good word from NH & Nico for Stowaway Magic last night will he run here?? 33/1 nrnb seems a good price

    Comment


    • Carter McKay and Sandsend heading here according to one of the previews last night. Going to have both onside given mullins' record in the race, both have decent profiles and form for this

      Comment


      • Happy to read this. (I want him onside wherever he goes but) I'll be incredibly keen on him for this race if he is able to sneak in what will likely be one of the bottom weights. Off 136 he is going to be cutting it fine. Entries in this race (136 may sneak in), Coral (think that'll be too low), County (could well be his best chance of getting in a race though I am keen for a step up in trip) and interestingly they still have the entry in the Albert Bartlett (a good sign, for this race that they see him as a stayer)

        <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Mullins was quick to nominate Deal D&#39;Estruval as his best chance in the handicaps, saying he&#39;s on a nice mark for whatever race he gets into <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/mullinsstabletour?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw ">#mullinsstabletour</a> <a href="https://t.co/FtE3fPr2mI">pic.twitter.com/FtE3fPr2mI</a></p>&mdash; Weekender (@RPWeekender) <a href="https://twitter.com/RPWeekender/status/971005475671044097?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 6, 2018</a></blockquote>

        • Blow By Blow also pleasing Elliott and confirmed for this

          • Is Dell Arca the only Pipe horse likely to get in ?

            I know he is qualified for Pertemps and Cheltenham form not encouraging but has the feeling of something that might have looked obvious after the event.

            • Just reinvested my Hunter Call refund. Had Stowaway Magic @ 33/1 1pt win for this. Not sure it will be fancied by many here & his form is nothing amazing. But Hend & Nico said he is coming here & he came back over hurdles in his last race and had a good race Nico said he would have a chance. Plus the money was burning a hole in my account and I did not have a running in this.

                Is Mr Big Shot likely to get in

                  You should have put it on Sandsend

                    Is the 25/1 still there? He won't be that if he did get in. Difficult to predict as many will go elsewhere or not run. Probably odds against but still a better chance than Flawless Escape.

                    • I haven't bought in to Flawless Escape at all...

                      Has anyone on here made a case for him? I haven't seen much about him at all, and he's single figures and going one way

                      Comment


                      • I can only imagine Mr Big Shot has been tipped up somewhere because oddschecker is a sea of blue. At this rate if he got in he would be near enough favourite. Given his absence one of the more interesting gambles.

                          Robin Des Champs - Shean Rose

                          It was good to see him win a Grade 3 at Clonmel the last day and he seems to be getting his act together. He’ll go for the Martin Pipe. I suppose in general he has been a bit disappointing as he looked a very good bumper horse, but the fast pace over there will suit him and he is going the right away again now.


                          I see he already has the market leader in Flawless Escape and Sire Du Berlais has been well backed, but 20/1 for BBB is a big price in this isn't it?

                            Windsor Knot - Golden Angel

                            He just doesn’t have the heart for jumping fences and he’ll go back over hurdles in the Martin Pipe. He has been in very good form at home and he could be a lively outsider in that.



                            I'm actually really interested in this horse at 50/1 NRNB with Betfair. Elliott had the fav in The Storyteller last year, ended up with Runfordave placing 3rd off 140. I know ovbviously Gordon likes the race, but do the owners want a winner? Or is the coincedence?

                            Flaxen Flare is rated 143 for the race... Festival form reads:
                            2013 - 1st - Fred Winter
                            2014 - 5th - County Hurdle
                            Missed the next few with a 236 day break, a win at cork then a 689 day break

                            Chasing obviously not for him, but he's definitely going to get in... and purely on the basis he's been 1st and 5th before... 50/1 is a big price? Trainer knows what he's doing...

                            ANyone else like him? I wihs it was 5 places, I'd definitely have a bet

                            I might anyway! 50/1 I don't need loads of reasons

                              A fair chance Kev. If you took that seasonal debut over hurdles literally (I know it's dangerous but it's his only hurdle form line this season) where he was only beat 11 lengths by Apple's Jade off levels you would have to say 143 he could be chucked in now going back over hurdles, how would most of this lot do against AJ off levels?

                              All of his better performances have been over the Martin Pipe distance so another positive.

                              You don't need many reasons to back a 50/1 shot, and I see enough positives here.

                                To be honest I think I've been lured in my the analysis that was done on the level stakes profit you'd make backing previous festival winners. 50/1 is a big price...albeit he won 5 years ago.

                                It isn't putting people off backing Cue Card though and he's a 10 times shorter...he last won at the festival the same year ... although obviously has done better in between

                                I've had 0.5 pts e/w for now. will add another 0.5 pts when I see some enhanced place terms maybe
