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'Estruval as his best chance in the handicaps, saying he's on a nice mark for whatever race he gets into <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/mullinsstabletour?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw ">#mullinsstabletour</a> <a href="https://t.co/FtE3fPr2mI">pic.twitter.com/FtE3fPr2mI</a></p>— Weekender (@RPWeekender) <a href="https://twitter.com/RPWeekender/status/971005475671044097?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 6, 2018</a></blockquote>

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.

BLOW BY BLOW
7yo ch g (1-32161)
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?Last edited by Kevloaf; 9 March 2018, 10:16 PM.

FLAXEN FLARE
9yo ch g (3U-2320P)
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

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.

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
