Sky Pirate given an entry in the Betfair Hurdle. Looks like Jonjo is going to give him a spin over hurdles to protect the handicap mark.
I really like that plan!
I take it you don’t like the potential plan of running Saturday off top weight at Warwick and if winning going up another 5lbs + ?
(no idea if it is but he’s an entry)

Correct....I do not like that plan, unless Jonjo knows he's over a stone well in
Declared.... must be a max bet potentially for you if he’s he’s high 150s like you think(think it was you who said that, somebody definitely did )
I can't believe they have declared him. I can't cash out most of my bet either so I'll have to sit and suffer!
He's rated 140 over hurdles and has a Betfair Hurdle entry. They could easily just go and win on Saturday and then revert to hurdles, were he'd be seriously well in.
I thought I knew exactly what they were up to but now think I've got it all wrong.

Ffs! I thought I had landed on a good one and was well smug when price kept dropping. Whats the best we can hope for here? Race abandoned!?

I'm doing a rain dance
Jonjo will have a plan. Maybe he isn't concerned about a potential rise in the weights but they will have mapped out his way to the festival, he's a master planner!
My concern now is that he wins handily on Saturday and they revert to hurdles and make use of the attractive mark (it could be the plan!). In any case, I'm going to back him for the Betfair Hurdle.

They may just want to give him a run.
Can't decide if he's a horse that's easy to lose on, or not.
Seemed to find it easy for a long time.
Be an interesting watch.

It won't be a comfortable watch for me. I've dug myself into a bit of a hole in this one as I was so sure I knew what they'd do.
I know someone who knows someone in the yard so trying to find out what they are up to.

Sky Pirate also entered in a 2M Novice Handicap Chase at Newbury next Weds.
Dame de Compagnie entered in the same race.
Bit of difference in their chase experience
