    Personally I think he'll go J.l.t , but for the Yankee don't mind either. ??.
    With it being a coin toss over which he’d go for (I think the latter) and the Samcro possible in opposition element, I’d say he should be one for later yankees when his target becomes clearer.

    Just my opinion.

    I think Might Bite for the Gold Cup deserves to be in another one of these. Only in one so far. His price is decent and he has one target only. Possibly put Buveur D’Air in another one soon too. For the same reasons as MB.

      What about Kalashnikov for the JLT? Looks built for fences could also improve for a step up in trip, although he wouldn't need to improve much based on his hurdling ability. 28/1 available with Ladbrokes (boosted) which is far bigger than I thought he'd be.

        Blimey that is a great price! I was looking at a big antepost bet at 8/1 for any race with him but was waiting to see where Samcro goes first. He’s the danger if he goes JLT.

        We know he’s going chasing this season and that he’s starting at 2 miles but Amy Williams has also said she thought he wanted further last season. He’s an Arkle or JLT type.

        I’m gonna have to have a bet at that 28s thlugh. Because that is massive. Absolutely massive.

          I have to credit my mate for messaging me about him last night. 28/1 is double the price he should be imo.

            Absolutely. There is obviously a target doubt with the fact he's never run over more than 16.5f yet... but I think the yet is key. He hasn't looked like he's stopping and there was really no need to try him up in trip in his novice hurdling season, whereas it opens up plenty of options as a novice chaser...

            If people are correct about the Supreme being a strong renewal too, then he's no 28/1 shot in any festival race.

                Well I’m grateful for you and your mate as I’d have missed that price completely. Cheers.

                Absolutely ridiculous price imo.

                      I agree with this Somer.

                      No reason to believe he won't be aimed at the race and was the highest profile horse that wasn't qualified this year.

                      A few better judges than me for Foxhunter races lurking on the forums though....

                          I know very little about Hunter Chasers but 14/1 seems decent for a grade 1 winner (albeit 3 years ago).

                            It’s a race I’ll be avoiding antepost after being balls deep in Burning Ambition last year at decent prices before he got backed into a short price, cruised through the entire race, went odds on in running but then failed to stay up the hill.

                            I’m still bitter about that one tbh. So I’ll be leaving the Foxhunters well alone. Unless it comes up in one of these yankees

                              Similar to MoM the foxhunters is one I'll be leaving alone in single bets but I'm happy with a speculative yankee selection

                                Gilgamboa seems a decent shout, if he's JP's no1 then will have one of the top jocks in the saddle, prob Derek O'Connor, only usually a handful that can be considered and the pilot makes a huge difference.
