Just a personal view but I always like to look for unconventional angles at this time of year.
Most decent horses are aimed at Cheltenham, or Aintree, or both, I don't believe any horse starts the season with the intention of doing those two and Sandown, that would be three of the most competitive races the horse will face in his/her lifetime inside 5 weeks, so I'm looking for a horse that avoided Aintree and the stats from this meeting support that.
14 races (in the 2 years since it became NH only) of which 11 of those winners avoided Aintree.
Not often you'd look at 40/1 and 25/1 shots and give them a real chance but for me these are exceptions.

I'm at Sandown Sat so if I don't get in here in the morning I wish you all a good weekend stacked full of winners !
FM - enjoy Haydock.
Good luck all

Ista :encouragement: - like your style. Hope both run for you now.

I think Mullins chasing the championship in UK will throw up a few surprises in Punchestown. Elliott is s shrewd operator - he held onto a few that might have gone to Aintree or Perth.

Hoping that Dynaste performs on Saturday as have always liked the horse - will combine him with Brother Tedd in my Saturday e/w double

:grumpy:never mind losers but hate them not running. Price explained I guess.

Might chance Ubak in that now on the Gary Moore Sandown angle.
 
Has to be one of the most spectacularly bad ante post investments I've ever made.
As sorry as I've feeling for myself there's an army of punters out there who backed Paint the Clouds for the big one forcing him into 10s yesterday, only for him not to be declared today....
 
The non runners are part of the game. Vaniteux is the overpriced one now. 8s an ew to nothing.

Vaniteux was one I also had my eye on. He was serving it up to Douvan when coming down and has good hurdle form. Shame its only 7 runner 2 places otherwise would def be a bet to nothing, though I still think he can beat VVM.
 
Did anyone see Ma Du Fou's last race where he pulled up? He just never seemed comfortable and made two false steps over the same patch of ground that took him out of rhythm both times.

Am I betting with my heart or is he a live 16/1 e/w chance?

Don't recall the race LR but 20s about any Greatrex horse is of interest and of course prior to Aintree hehadn't put a foot wrong all season, I was at Hunt when he won a listed hurdle race there and the runner up there wasn't a million miles away from the winner in a G1 last time.
 
Dont think I have ever backed Anthony...

until now

This weeks £2m bet ;)

Darebin @ 14/1
Sire De Grugy @ 14/1
Hadrian's Approach @ 16/1
Vaniteux @ 8/1
Antony @ 14/1
Ma du Fou @ 14/1
Heinz, 57 bets * £1.00
 
Wilde Blue Yonder is due a win.

( I was the Anthony backer on Tingle Creek Friday).

Had a fortune on him at Ascot 2 years ago when Choc managed to tip him up whilst on the bridle certain to win, if he's fit he could go close.

I've only done Sandown today:

2.20 Voix Du Reve win
2.55 Menorah e/w and 3 places
3.35 Dodging Bullets 3 places
4.10 Sausalito Sunrise e/w (being the shrewdie I am I'm on at 16s, 20s and 21)
Spring Heeled e/w (33s !)
Theatre Guide e/w
4.45 Vaniteux 3 places
5.20 Thomas Crapper e/w
Volnay du Thaix e/w
5.55 Ma du Fou e/w
Alcala e/w

Good luck all
 
I think there is some value out there today but we will know better this evening.

Also on Spring Heeled, Vaniteux and Ma du Fou.
 
Might Dutch 3 in this
The Young Master
Hadrian's Approach
Henri Parry Morgan
probably do the full cover tri cast too, should be near a four figure payout to a quid, so what the hell, just hope HA gets further than he did in the Nash
 
Drop out Joe out to 40's looks big, has been staying on a couple of times over 3 miles, Scots Nash too far for him, well weighted, will risk a small ew, just in case
