  • Who is the most likely winner on good ground? Or who wants it most? Brain Power? Cht'bello?

    What is the most likely going (Good, good to soft in places) - almost a certainty now?

    Of the 12 horses left in this, I have 10 covered..... guess which 2 I am not on

    Some re-adjusting needed here!

    • Ruby Walsh will ride Limini in the Mares' Hurdle and Footpad in the Champion Hurdle. Paul Townend on Vroum Vroum Mag and Wicklow Brave

      • I'm still so so surprised that Rich Ricci has opted out of having a runner here in VVM. He's won it the last 2 yrs and just gives up on trying at least to retain it. I'm baffled I really am.

          He would have ran her if he thought she had a chance - reading between the lines, I'd say she hasn't been pleasing them since Donny.

            I won't be surprised if VVM is a non-runner.

                  and Yanworth was probably still Stayers bound at that time. That only changed after Hennessy meeting.

                  Money is down on him today by looks of it.

                        33/1 at the time and didn't have a penny

                            On but much lower than 33s. I put up the post in here about they were considering switching him back to hurdles based on Colemans comments after his 2nd race over fences but like the clown I am didn't pull the trigger quick enough for the huge prices

                              And it saved me a pile of cash this year as well.

                                Yep, they both highlighted when some 16s NRNB was available with racebets, 12s with 365's (just been through to check as I rememebr posting about getting on at the time)

                                Cannot stress enough, how effective the NRNB concession is about a horse who would be shorter if they did switch target.... well done to KSS and OV for mentioning it.... I will be all over this again and again and again...
