Just one that randomly came to my head...

If I Am Maximus won the irish National, he obviously wouldn't be eligible to run in the NHC next season, so would antepost bets be voided as ineligible or not?

..Not that he has any chance in the Irish Nash

They wouldn't be void, Jim. It'd be a losing bet, unless you could get a justice refund.

Did think that'd be the case mate but just wanted to double check to see if I needed to be on the ball for cashout haha..

It was same with GDM last season. Backed straight after Cheltenham at 16s but then had to hope he didn’t win the Irish National to lose the bet. In the end, a nice spin and third place was ideal and retained his novice status.

This was the reason I tried to wait until after Irish nash to place a bet on him for NHC. Worked out well missing the 25/1 didn't it?

That's the problem with Antepost these days mate.. or more so twitter. People seem to absolutely thrive off being the first one to mention a horse on there

He's very likely to lose once or twice before Cheltenham next season so I'd be surprised if a good price wasn't available on him once the season kicks off if he's still a novice

Yeah to be fair I thought that as well. I wouldn't expect back out to 25/1 but did ponder whether 20/1 would be available if losing in IGN. I didn't expect him to be bought by JP though so that could definitely have influenced part of the move (as well as the twitterati influencers).

Will be watching him with interest to see if the price looks reasonable again in the future anyway

Just read that, and looking at the betting now. Interesting that he said Bravesmangame is a possible in the same article. 6/1 would look massive if he turned up. I'm not quite brave enough though.

Skelton said Protektorat won't go as well.

Capodanno I thought was going National?

A Plus Tard I read it was the plan for if he recovered in time. And is plenty short anyway for a horse with PU, PU next to his name.

Can see a relatively small field. With a couple of no hopers...

Shishkin seems very short after the Ryanair considering he's a bit unreliable and the thinking is he needs a gap between races. But I guess they must be planning to run.

Think I'd go in big on Conflated each way with the 3 places (even at current price) if Bravesmangame wasn't a possible.

The race is made for Ahoy Senor. Conflated was well beaten in it last year, BMG was thumped by AS in the Mildmay, Shishkin was underwhelming at Cheltenham and APT needs to bounce back.

4/1 is still a very decent price on Ahoy imo. He's a different horse around Aintree in April.

Conflated 'well beaten' by a length on the back of a fall at Cheltenham and by a horse who's not running this year. I'm not ruling him out based on that.

Although I do agree that Ahoy is the other one in consideration, and has an excellent record at this meeting. The fall in the Gold Cup is a bit of a concern still though for me at least.

BMG didn't give his running here last year did he with no reason found as far as I'm aware, which is a bit of a concern. But 6/1 would still be far too big if he ran. He's the best horse in the race like, and by more than ratings suggest imo.

BMG had grade 3 ulcers, same with Stage Star.

If he couldn't win it last year, I can't see him winning this year.

Ahoy all the way for me.
