Thats the only good thing i can say for Skybet is you can use the TWAR in doubles to get the prices up

Remember they also do To Be Placed Any Race. Never used that option but might interest some.

b365 still have the El Fabiolo/GDC double at 8/1. Absolutely the best way to use your free bets and bet credits from the free football goals and correct scores games.

Can't argue with that Archie. Think plenty on here have joined you with that one.
 
As a few have spotted
The turners novice chase looks open if the Mullins horse stays hurdling
I backed Tahmuras yesterday as 50-1 seems fair and he has a similar profile to stage star. I expect a similar campaign. Probably not good enough but is as entitled to improve for chasing given Nichols mo.

mildly interested in Zanahyir also but no prices yet
i reckon I’d want 25-1.

context for this is I’m likely to make a book on a couple of the novice chase’s even though overall I’m being more selective

I'd looked for Zanahiyr myself Q when the news broke about horses going chasing. He's a pretty classy individual when on song but the worry would be his inconsistency. I'll request today, see what they say.

I was very keen on this one too, but I am a little concerned he is ground dependent and will need a deluge to prevail.
50/1 is an OK price though...

25s best coral/lads atm..
 
Interesting that Willmount has had a fairly severe haircut with 365 for the Supreme in the last day or so - into 25/1 from 40/1. Any news released?

Also Nicholls didn’t sound hugely positive about him in his brochure. Nothing truly negative, but didn’t gush like he did to Stay Away Fay and others. 50/1 very fair to find out though.

As Spectre said elsewhere this week, could be part and parcel of the soon to be published regular season guides coming out over the next couple of weeks or so.

….Brighterdaysahead (MNH) into 10-1 Hills, looking like Sky hold the last of the 12s.

10/1 TWAR

All 16's gobbled up for Dinoblue in Mares Chase. 12's best now.

Now he's with Henderson I thought the Supreme would be popular.

I’m convinced Dinoblue won’t stay 2m5f around Cheltenham Lobos. I’d actually place lay her if the field was relatively decent.

Connections love a good punt, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s them lot just firing money at the big prices caused a push.

Was a great story about that gang on one of the icey twitter spaces a week or two ago from one of the flutter entertainment lads.. Shrewd operators would be an understatement that’s for sure.

Yup. They are apparently aiming for supreme. They’re candid enough to admit he may not be good enough to line up but that’s the aim as of now apparently.

I’m the opposite. I’m convinced that if she settles it’ll bring out the best in her. Her jumping ruined early efforts last year (and even her impressive run at Chelts). But she is improving in that respect.

Breeding suggests it should be no issue. Doctor Dinos tend to get 2 and a half and being out of an Astarabad mare suggests age stood stay that’ll far. On breeding along she looks like a 2 and a half should be ideal.

Yep, my worry too. She could well end up there though having won 2/3 easy mid trip chases in Ireland before coming over.

Her best runs last season in Ireland came at Cork (including the 2nd to Impervious) & Fairyhouse both predominantly flat non stamina testing tracks, she didn’t appear to appreciate the stiff finishes at Naas & to a much lesser extent Cheltenham where I’m not sure she’d have won even with neater lepping.

Understand you’re thoughts re: breeding but it’s a firm no from me.
