Newbury November Meeting Antepost discussion

He looks very good so far, although not sure how many big field chase handicaps he's ridden in.

Already on Ok Corral 20-1 - 2pts, and WEst approach 15-1 2pts.
pleased that jockey of the moment is on west approach, and might be gambled on the day, but I think he may need the field to be stretched out up the run in to be able to challenge late.
Think Ok Corral is far too short in the betting now, but happy to have it on side.

2 outsiders I'm looking at are Walt, and Joe Farrell. There don't look to be too many second season chasers in here that are well handicapped so might go for something else that's performed well recently and look reasonably handicapped and in form.
Will watch markets before betting these though.
 
Walt is one I'm interested in at the prices Q. Someone will go 6 places

Dingo Dollar 33/1 ew
Elegant Escape 22/1 ew
 
Cheers chaps, gunna put abit on Mister Malarky i think. Already on EE at 20s.
 
I like Dingo Dollar - placed in the race last year and this renewal looks weaker on paper.

Well done on the 33s FM - that'll stop me backing him at 14s now though :(

In my current form, you'd be wise to avoid backing him:devilish:
 
Got 3 left of my original 7. OK Corral @ 20's and 16's, C Queen 14's twice and Elegant Escape 20's. Always go on Henn day. This has to be the most open race ever !! Not backing any more !
 
I think Yala Enki is being layed out for the Welsh National next month. A good run here wont help him if that is the case.
Nicholls allowing Cobden to ride Elegant Escape may perhaps point to this as well.

I have nothing against Tom O Brien but he hasnt been riding with any confidence this season and is a jockey in the doldrums. He isnt the worst out there but they have made the right decision here.
Cobdens confidence and ability combined with The Legends greatness could be a match made in heaven.

Although Cobden has rode The Champ before both Jockey and Horse are now at the top of their powers this season. Its a devestatuing combination.
 
Took the 80's for walt ew and 33's joe farrell 6 places.
 
Kealy makes a good case for Some Chaos too - so added that at 80-1 5 places.
 
A couple of strong fancies tomorrow.

Magic Saint 9/2 - the race looks made for him. Eye catcher at Cheltenham lto before looking like a non stayer in poor ground.

Pride of Lecale (13/2) - Fergal said this was his best handicapped horse in the stable before he won lto. Raised 11lb for that but he couldn't have done it easier and gets in at the foot of the weights


Got them in singles and a Trixie with Dingo Dollar.

I'm struggling to see him beat. He's going to go off short though.

especially if the mare runs at newcastle if it's on.
The rule 4 in these instances should be looked at when a horse is double declared.
I had 4pts on earlier today 9/2 boosted to something else ??

The bookies have put her in short enough because of the rule 4.

That looks a great bet Q. What else you fancy tomorrow?
 
Did CQ & WA.

Feeling Robbie unlocked something in WA the last day.
 
What's going on with the JP silks in the 1:15? Black with a yellow X
