I don’t tend to be very overly opinionated on these threads but I massively massively fancy one for this months yankee - Chacun Pour Soi. For the Champion Chase. He looks like a monster. His main rival is a big doubt to even run with Altior firstly aiming at the King George. Nothing else over 2m looks to be coming from asides from maybe Le Richebourg.

I’m very hopeful that I can persuade you all that Chacun Pour Soi @ 8/1 is an excellent bet for the May Forum Yankee to start with a Champion Chase win.
 
Not sure what the prices are now but if Gypsy Island is still a backable price she’s worth sneaking in for the Mares Novice....
 
I second both of the above suggestions.

I’d like to take a swing at Malone Road for the Supreme.
 
Chacon pour soi
Gypsy Island
Bennie des dieux

Flyer on carefully selected for the 4 miler?
 
I think this far out we should be certain enough on targets...

but Carefully Selected for the 4 miler isn't something I'd complain about.

The 4 miler MAY be more important now that Ruby isn't in the equation.

Willie has always put the horse in the most winnable race, and he does look a slow old boat :p
 
Chacun Pour Soi I can definitely get on board with in a multiple.


6/1 Klassical Dream
4/1 Benie Des Dieux


...as mentioned elsewhere, I was half tempted myself.

Not original or life changing value but they'd all be shorter on the day :devilish:



I do like Minella Indo but I made the case and he was picked in the April Yankee so we should share the love around.




Draconien for the Arkle? :devilish:




It is so tough, at the moment the only horses I've had any 'real' money on are Minella Indo, Gypsy Island, Delta Work and then a copuple of multiples (Benie Des Dieux, Paisley Park) and the March/April yankee's.


It's hard to make cases this far out...

Altior in the King George instead ? Santini in the Ladbrokes Trophy... Sea Of Enable in the Arc, all rolling on to Tiger Roll :highly_amused:
 
Klassical Dream - champion hurdle would be my selection.
 
So looks like we're 2 out of 4 already...

Chacun Pour Soi
Klassical Dream



(possibly Benie Des Dieux too)?

With those, can I get anyone convinced Min is a decent bet in the Ryanair?

I think the first three is pretty much assured.

For the final selection, I would be against Min personally.

I would be happy with the Ricci trio.
 
At the moment , I am Keen on Frodon , following up in the Ryanair , also best price 16-1 with Coral.

I’d want to be against Frodon as the last horse too.

Just because I get the feeling this season may have been a year where he was at his absolute best and everything went right. Replicating that will be hard.
 
How about McFabulous for the Supreme

The Aintree bumper has a good history of producing Novice hurdlers and I know the owners are very keen on him
 
If you’re picking 3 Mullins horses you might as well add a fourth, some options -
Min - Ryanair
Kemboy - gold cup
Draconien- arkle
Carefully selected - nh chase
Chante neige - mares novice
 
I do like the idea of a Mullins Yankee as the first three horses have gone that way.

I’d suggest Kemboy or Draconian
