I can't help but think that the National is CoC's prime target this season. Unfinished business and probably his last realistic chance.

Looking at it rationally there is not much between them - similar official ratings, similar Cheltenham form and strong stayers. Elliot has been bullish about both - the difference has been their price in a race where nothing else stands out. Hence people are seeing the value being Tiger Roll at the current prices.Originally posted by The Beast View Post
Elliot did talk of Cause of Causes first at the National weights reveal last week but I think they will both be on point for Cheltenham. Cause of Causes seems to be the darling of the yard so I think they would make sure he is ready for Cheltenham as a 4th win would be something special and be unlikely to affect his tilt at the National.Comment

There was a gamble on the day for CoC wasn't there? I thought he got backed late on the day...? I backed him at 4/1 the day before as a very small saver (Which is why I remember) and he went off shorter? ***I can just check this...I backed at 4/1 the day before... won at 4/1 - so NO I was wrong.
I don't see Tiger Roll getting clipped from 10s to 6s as negative (or even related) to COC's chances.... 10s was just too big each way considering the comments about him that came out around the same time from Elliott...
Plenty on here felt 10/1 was a good price for Tiger Roll.... was never going to start that price.
THe only Elliott gamble that would worry me would be a very late and strong move with COC weak....Last edited by Kevloaf; 21 February 2018, 06:05 PM.Comment

I have yet to have a bet in this.... and will probably leave itComment

Everyone just needs to keep calm.... I've been as nervy as all and there's still 3 weeks to go but hold your nerve. Cause of Causes will win

On the way to 5 figures. With some very exciting live trixie/yankee's in play too.Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View Post
I'll work it out exactly much closer to the time as usual.Comment

Very nice. Similar here if those three win but none of the life changers to follow.Originally posted by Kevloaf View Post
Good luck, and let's hope for a quiet 20 days.Comment

Our Duke the main one unfortunately....but I wouldn't mind a run for my money for a life changing amount in that race regardless of the SP!Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View Post
Quiet indeed. I feel like a lot of casualties happened early on this season? Compared to the last.... but 20 days is quite a long time

If you're ever feeling nervy just rewatch the Kim Muir from 2016 - all nerves fall away! He'll power away up the hill from Tiger Roll!Originally posted by jono View PostEveryone just needs to keep calm.... I've been as nervy as all and there's still 3 weeks to go but hold your nerve.
