Good work on the thread - will be good to look back and see how many would have paid up. Always one weak link imo.

Probably a correlation between the kind of people that think Melon is a good bet and people who think specials are good value.

... I'd almost be interested in the FO, CM double just to stop me backing CM ... that is one you could see being a shorter SP on the day?
 
Hills - Cue Card and Cantlow 21/1

Not sure on PP...
 
Looks like they want to have Cantlow in these.
 
Managed to chuck 2pts on the Hills one before the price crashed. Wish I couldve afforded a few more but 2pts will do
 
Betfair - Neon Wolf and Death Duty 21/1
 
Hills - Paul Nicholls to train 4 or more winners 20/1
Betfair - Might Bite and Native River 20/1

Anyone put Paddys up I cant find it?
 
PP didn't have oneyesterday either did they? Odd?

4 winners for Nicholls? 20/1 .... oh dear oh dear. I bet he has one winner at that price haha

It should do, especially as paddy are NRNB on all races. Should imagine it would end up an SP single or something
