Whichever Mullins sends to the Ryanair should go very short. Assuming it's the only big name to sidestep the GC for the Ryanair.

I'd expect either to go off shorter than current NRNB prices...

I'm increasingly coming round to the idea that both will go for the GC. I do think they'll supplement F2F (they simply have to don't they? ) especially with last year's winner looking a shadow. There still has to be doubts that he'll properly see out the 3m 2f at Cheltenham and it'll be even harder if Soft conditions prevail. Willie will surely be thinking the same and could let Gaelic run as back up as he looks like he will stay and will love it if Cheltenham came up with very testing conditions.
Doubt I'd back either at the prices but it will mean that there could be some really lovely value currently lurking in the Ryanair.

Saturdays Red Mills chase could have a major bearing on Mullins thoughts about FTF and GW ‘s participation in the GC, particularly if IEP wins and wins well

I'm hoping he runs poorly.......
 
Where is the discard button now. If you hit reply by accident how do you get rid of it now?

There's like a picture of a floppy disk oin the right hand side at the top, and two options on drop down, save draft or delete draft.
Not sure what it does but I delete draft and manually remove the text and then move on

I got semi excited when I saw that, then I checked the prices.
Pitiful is the only way I can describe it....

:LOL: Yea, notice I didn't mention about any bets. Couple I looked for weren't actually listed which was disappointing. But those that are aren't particularly appealing prices.

It's nice to see someone trying though. And they'll surely be the odd bit of value as more get added.

Yeah there's usually a few who go up before the upcoming festival.
Wendigo 40/1 Gold Cup just about the only price I saw that didn't make me laugh, hopefully one or two follow suit and go bigger...
 
Lulamba at 50s for the Gold Cup after he plods on into second in the Arkle.

Jango was 50/1 after he won the Arkle last year. It's a shame as there's usually a couple that pique my interest at this stage. But not this year. Absolutely dire pricing.

Lulamba at 50s is worth a poke, rest of the prices are rank

Would have to be the horse of a lifetime to be the first 5yo winner of the Arkle since allowances were removed and then become just the second 6yo Gold Cup winner in 60 odd years...

Agree. Not the greatest physical either to my eyes and I wonder whether we are going to see as much year on year improvement as expected or anticipated. We shall see.
 
Any chance con hill could be balloted out of the Southwell maiden if there's loads of entries? 🤣
