July ‘24 Yankee

I like Dinoblue at 7/1 for the mares chase.

She's shown she's good over 2 miles, but not good enough against the boys in the championship races.

The late rain did her no favours this year, but she still stayed out the trip and was beaten 3/4 length by a proper stayer giving her 5lbs and was actually gaining coming up the hill.

Limerick won't have the swing in the weights this time around, and on her best form Dino is still the Mare to beat over Fences.

Elimay came back a 2nd time and got redemption for JP & WIllie and i think Dinoblue will do the same.

I make this a very solid shout.
Never easy to get excited about 7/1 shots in July but her Irish mark would mean she can't go near a handicap, so the only options that exist for this one are:

1. Swerve Cheltenham
2. Take on the big guns in G1 and hope the allowance gets her close
3. Mares Chase

Realistically 1 isn't happening being a JP horse and 2 would seem ambitious.
Mares Chase is probably the answer and unless one of the big named hurdlers re-route to fences Dinoblue would have a serious chance...

Ballyburn and mystical power for the champion hurdle for me. I know it may be controversial and go against the FJ opinion, but why change now?
i wouldn’t back either for a novice chase antepost. Both, however, especially the former I believe to be proper champion hurdle types. Willie needs something to try and beat CH with, and that’s not state man.

Generally agree, but I bet JP wishes he'd put her in the champion chase this year!

With 2 excellent runs at Cheltenham and Aintree last season , I'm interested to see if The Jukebox Man go's Chasing .
If so , then would have to consider him for the Brown's . Ben Pauling seems to have ramped up a gear or two since .
he opened his new Yard ..

I'm going to suggest an each way haymaker yankee. The best price combination is below, but the alternatives are not much shorter:

Gala Marceau 66/1 Mares Hurdle (case made a couple of weeks ago)
Jeriko Du Reponet 66/1 Turners (see my diary)
Found A Fifty 33/1 Ryanair (case made last month)
Strong Leader 14/1 Stayers (see my diary)

Even if you don't use it, I bet you back it AV :highly_amused:

Wish i'd chosen a different month to stick my hand up :highly_amused::hopelessness: Not much to go on, but reading through various musings and taking into account some we've not included yet, eventually came up with:

Slade Steel (Arkle)
Gaelic Warrior (Champion Chase)
Gerri Colombe (Gold Cup)
Dinoblue (Mares Chase)

8111/1 (Unibet)
6862/1 (Paddy/BF)
5004/1 (B365)

:hopelessness:Absolutely no idea how this season will go, which is for the best :highly_amused: we'll be heavy scorers but probably concede a lot too! Barnet top 3 and 7 as small boosts to bets is all I've bothered with.
