2017 County Hurdle

Jonnymac05 said:
Just watched his last 3 races back and he was given such an easy ride all hands and heels and that was hardly vigourous, whip never drawn once.

Either this horse has declined rapidly or its the biggest plot job you will see

15lbs below last winning mark and even 1lb below its 2nd career win(1st win had no mark given)

Having just turned 6 I find it hard to believe that he has regressed already.
 
FFS !
Another one to add to the portfolio...
 
I'm sure De name escapes me has been prepared for this, Aidan Coleman did everything to avoid putting him into the race last time out, smacked of major plot to me
 
I agree MMG, I backed DNEM last time out and it couldn't be more obvious that he was running for a mark. Kevin Blake said before the race it was an extremely well handicapped horse and will be more so now.
 
De Name Escapes Me is only entered in the County I believe and is still 33/1 with Betfair (without NRNB).
 
He might be too well handicapped. Rated 139 for his last run in Britain he could easily be dropped 2 or 3 lbs for that which makes it unlikely that he'd make the cut.

Maybe Phil Smith watched the race too, in which case he may add a couple of pound for the nerve
 
A nice racecourse gallop by Peace and Co at Kempton, he still has an awkward head carriage though.
 
Some info to take as you will from a good friend.

Just done breakfast and stables with Kim Bailey he and his head lad said charbel would either Finnish second in t arkle have a good chance in jlt or win the county but race not decided yet. So advise putting non runner no bet with sky at 20/1 in County.

I have done 2.5pts ew.

Whats the chances of Wait For Me getting into this?
 
To be fair, I can pick a fair few above him in the weights that have other more likely targets, so you never know...

But...unlikely...
 
Joseph said he had a good ew chance in one of the Preview nights. Seems a bit high to me though.
