Ballyadam clipped a point from 10's to 9's.
PTKO 11's from 12's.
Salsaretta 7's from 8's
The bosses Oscar 14's from 16's
The Big Breakaway 16's from 20's
I thought this market would quieten down with the flat racing resuming but it seems more buoyant than ever!
Who is backing that?!
People backing her for the Mares Chase I suppose, but crickey... if she ends up in any race other than the Mares Chase she'd be a double figure price without any shadow of a doubt.

Davy Russell said: "it wasn't much of a race but it was nice to get him out and was ideal for him.
"He is versatile enough ground-wise and if he was to be competitive in a Galway Plate he'd have to reproduce his career best form."
Galway Plate entries 15/7. Handicap calculated 20/7.
He couldn't win this year off 142 but, based on the horses behind him, his current rating of 148 is about right. It's a great shame that Punchestown was off because you'd have thought that he'd have gone for the valuable novice handicap and, potentially, backed up that rating.
For the reasons previously given, they are absolutely not looking at Cheltenham yet.

20/1 for a horse that placed in a handicap.
If he has any hope of winning at the festival, you'd want him to be winning the Galway Plate, or going pretty damn close to winning it. Break your rule and have a bet on his actual target?
I just can't understand why 20/1 would be value for any race at Cheltenham now, I don't get it at all chaps
