I can't imagine anyone wanting to back Coneygree at this stage.
Supremely talented but unbelievably fragile, one visit to a racecourse in 18 months and just 11 lifetime runs in five years.
You must want to not only see him run well on Saturday but also come out of the race OK with no setbacks, I'd also like to see a second seasonal run before I'd be interested, in fact, if he made it to March I'd be very interested myself but I will probably wait until the day of the race before unloading.
The double you (jono) have for him to win the Betfair and King George is a real stretch for me, being fit enough to win after such a long absence is one thing but then recovering quickly enough to race 5 weeks later is almost as tough.
I'm sure the odds reflect this but I do hope you have very nice odds...
