Thanks for the welcome, it was a sky bet rab special I thought it was going to be a loser at the time after he finished 3rd so on the Friday when might bite the last horse in the bet placed I was pleasantly surprised to see sky pay out on it.

Shortest price of the lot is Presenting Percy at 6/1 (so 5/4 is about fair for him) - but the rest are bigger especially CoF - I'd be wary of getting him in too many things, he certainly isn't outrageous value compared to the others in the list.
Add in that they ALL have to get there, and ALL have to have the luck to get around AND not find 3 too good...
I appreciate it is a free bet, and I must be much more boring.... because I imagine I've got them all backing individually... but I'd sooner "build up" on something I did fancy rather than just give them their money back
Or hope one RAB wins. Last year, I had 2 antepost RABs win at 66/1 and 80/1, so I’m happy to keep going this way.

Sky go 10/1 Santini (RSA) and 7/1 Penhill (Stayers) which looks industry best.
I’ve been pressing this ew double with cash and free bets for a couple of weeks, while these prices exist I’m happy to keep pressing...

Not sure if anyone else has spotted this but Sky are offering 6/1 that Laurina goes unbeaten in 18/19 season (must run min 3 times), a price that struck me as huge value.
Now looking likely to head for the Mares it’s unlikely she’ll be given a real test before Cheltenham, the danger comes at Pumchestown when she might be pitted against the boys and there’s likely to be a chance to lay her to guarantee a profit.
This is a bet I like....

There’s a penalty kick G1 for her in the Mares.
They might talk up a champion hurdle bid but first season out of novice company Mares looks the obvious choice to me, if she’s as good as they think she’ll still be a champion hurdle horse in 2020....
14/1 champ hurdle and 3/1 Mares are best prices available, looks like bookies thinking same linesLast edited by Istabraq; 20 September 2018, 09:45 PM.

Benie Des Dieux is also a penalty kick in the Mares
Melon vs Laurina?
I think you'd be mad to get excited about a 6/1 bet to go unbeaten when you can get 3/1 for the one race you're sure she'd go for?
A fall at 1/14 and the money is gone?
I wouldn't lay it obviously but doesn't seem worthwhile
....and she's not 14/1 versus 3/1 because of where she'll go.... she's that price because of opposition.... if she was a certainty for the Mares then she'd be no bigger than 6/4Last edited by Kevloaf; 20 September 2018, 09:52 PM.

They might pitch her in to the Irish Champion Hurdle and use that to decide her Cheltenham target...
