Yeah cheers BigChang I will just bite the bullet and read the full thread was just being lazy.

But some bookies have the likes of COF still in markets and concerned me! How many injured ones are still priced up!

Was also looking updates on any of the horses iv listed, futyre entries, cheltenham targets, opinions etc


PS Cheers Scooby, line through it!

Nice one HF, just a shame cash out doesn’t work on their any race market. Has anyone asked them about this as wouldn’t surprise me if it was just an oversight?
 
What’s the appeal for Figaroc apart from now being trained by Willie Mullins? I’m only asking as I’m starting to saturate my bets with novice juvenile hurdlers in the Supreme & Ballymore
 
Figaroc and Chacun Pour Soi were the two horses mentioned by Rich Ricci's racing manager Joe Chambers in a Luck on Sunday phone interview when asked which horse he was most excited about for the season.
 
Cheers HF, I’ll keep an eye on him as I’m waiting on Unexpected to be added to the Hills TWAR list so going to back him first if the odds are worth it

KP if you go onto @WilliamHill on Twitter you can request a horse price for To Win Any Race at the Festival, to be added online with #yourodds.
 
I’m not on Twitter currently so contacted them via Messanger but I think they work 9-5pm from previous responses so won’t find out until the morning about Unexpected. I think I’ve missed the price on him now as he’s 20’s best price with B365 for SNH so doubt Hills will be any better for TWAR but if he is 20’s or bigger I’ll back him just incase he goes elsewhere. JP owns a phenomenal number of horses, it’s like he has a conveyor belt of them!!
 
Dlauro has an entry on Tues at Punchestown .
Betdaq trading tools maiden hurdle , assuming he doesn't go straight to the royal bond sunday week.
 
He’s 16s with hills for the supreme so would expect around 10-12s any race
 
Hendo blog for anyone waiting on news on Dickie diver - I’m afraid Dickie Diver won’t be seen any time soon as he picked up a bit of a problem and is very much on the sidelines at the moment so I’m not sure how long it’s going to take. It is extremely disappointing and a real blow but I hope to have him back in full training but when that will be, I simply cannot say.
 
My first ante post bet for Cheltenham looks pretty poor now a patent of Draconien, Birchdale and Dickie Diver for the 3 novice chases. I'd like to think some of the ones I've placed since will age better.
 
Franco de Port - runs tomorrow at Gowran Park 1pm.

Mullins has sent some top novices to this race in the past.
Douvan, Sharjah, American Tom ???

He beat Fred easily by 13lengths in France, despite running green.
Fred's not set the world alight but has ran reasonable races in the UK.
anyhow, the form of such young horses needs a kind eye.

waiting to see how they price tomorrows race up, and will watch closely tomorrow.
Not priced up in many places and is 16-1 anyrace with sky. which they may leave open after the race for a bit.

I’m sure you’ve noticed already but he won’t be a novice come March as his status runs out soon I believe. He was one of the rare occasions that Mullins bought a horse he could not have a full novice campaign with.

Thanks Jackie.
No - it had not quite clicked in my mind. I didn't pay attention to the date of his win.
So well reminded.
see he's 7/4 tomorrow.
Not sure what there options would be if he's any good.
