Today. each way super Yankee. Yanworth - ch.h - 5-1

Finians oscar - neptune - 4-1
u.k.w.i.m.h - stayers - 6-4
wholestone - al bart -6-1
 
William Hill Special (may be today only - doing one per day)
UNWIMH, Defi Du Seuil & On The Fringe - 27/1

Worth a Free Bet...

I'm there Thursday and Friday, so would get to see all three races..
 
Best priced treble 23/1 Leman so that's a decent bet, three of my biggest fancies too but the lack of a Bill Hills account is a problem for me.

In other news Vroum Vroum Mag gets just the 6 entries....
 
At least i'll have one winner then Istabraq . L.o. L
 
If things go according to plan, I have a fair few bets with On The Fringe as the final leg..
(I'm sure that I'm not alone!)

On the fringe will land the forum win yankee and I'll be stuck trying to decide whether to get a tattoo of the horse or a fat jockey

I'm on the fence for my big stake cheltenham Yankee, I'm looking to all you guys to convince me I'm right or give me alternatives;

UNWIMH - stayers - 6/4
Defi du Seuil - triumph - 3/1
Carter McKay - bumper - 10/3
On the fringe - fox hunters - 6/4

The only option I'm not looking to replace one of my selections with is death duty as I already have him covered at bigger prices in okay looking multiples, I would have had airlie beach in here but not now with the potential clash with let's dance....
 
The obvious over is Carter mckay ... bit of a false fav after getabird got injured. At a similar price I'd prefer airlie beach
 
GJT - stayers and foxhunters good favourites races.

At the prices prefer forum horse Western Ryder in the bumper.

I think the Triumph is an open race. DDS a fair favourite but no good thing imo.

Airlie is my bet of the week.
 
Today's Bill Hill Special
Buveur D'air, UNWIMH & Thistlecrack @ 26/1

Normally 24/1.... not as taken with this one...

Not as appealing as yesterdays at all.
 
Just had a small 0.5pts e/way yankee on a few of Henderson's horses:

Altior 2/7 (for obvious reasons, no price but gets the yankee up and running with a win)

William Henry 20/1 (Neptune) - Feel he has been forgotten a little, and for me will likely show up better on good ground, provided that's what we get. Losing to Wholestone is no cause for concern, he's beat a lot of nice novices this year and looks a good horse himself.

Might Bite 3/1 (RSA) - Already have this horse at 12/1 in a couple of multi's and probably is too short now, but I was looking for other runners for the trainer and had to include this one. Really like the horse myself, thinking and hoping he's a cut above the lot he faces in this race.

Consul De Thaix 10/1 (County) - A couple of solid runs against what is the current 5th favourite for the Champion Hurdle, I personally don't think there are any issues with the horse, I feel he didn't run at the weekend to keep his mark the same, currently 140 he just about keeps within the parameters for horses that win this race based on ratings only, I think the last 11 winners have been rated 130 -140.

Thoughts?

Edit: All prices are NRNB with SkyBet.
