Don’t really want to but have this feeling now he will step up in distance this season rather than down
Shorter for the BANC I noticed

Hard to be sure C.a.T. , Personally I don't think the bookies know any more than us , as to which race he'll go for . Willie said Champion Hdl , Dave Casey said Arkle
was the race for him - words to that effect.
I thought B.a.n.c was most likely ..
I have K.r.G backed for arkle and b.a.n.c. ..
If Any Race was available then , April.. it would of been the play .
The reality of Antepost i suppose , one of those two bets is going in the bin , but hopefully get a run for my money with the other.... unless he goes ch.hdl , or somewhere else .. 🤯 😥.
We pays our money and takes our choices..

Yeah, not bothered at all what the bookies say at this stage, just noticed the prices.
It’s probably all about fitting in all the options he has with his
horses and I doubt he knows much more than us right now, and if he does we ain’t knowing for some time I imagine
Cheers for the post , much appreciated

He's a Galliway so I wouldn't be at all surprised if he ended up as a Hurdler come end of season.
 
Anzadam was running against good horses last season but he was finishing amongst and behind average ones. Don't see the angle even at 40s to be honest.

Plus he was an absolute job . Chasing could settle him down but I'm definitely not risking it.

I love king rasko. I think he’s a future festival winner. Where? I don’t know . I’ve backed him for arkle, churdle and any race

Might be owner bias but Kitzbuhel was doing exactly the same thing. I reckon it's worth a flyer

He wouldn't win a champion hurdle if he started now. All out to beat Lord Byron is probably 20lb below CH form. Obviously could improve, albeit I'm not sure he'll do so for a fence on pedigree, but he has a fair way to go. Hard to understate how bad those middle distance novice hurdlers were last season for me. I think KRG will start over 2m over fences but I wouldn't be mad keen that he ends up top class.

I've said this before (I think?) but the ballymore / neptune / whatever they call it now is a weird race too that produces weird horses imo. Feels like the horses that run well in it end up slightly tripless. You have to stay but also quicken given how the race is run - you'd think it produces superstars but more often than not they just end up not staying well enough for the big staying races, and also not being quick enough for 2m races. It took them a while to work out Bob O for example just needed 3m on good ground where he can creep into it. Ballyburn had the same issue afterwards too, I think The New Lion will go the same way.

Interesting view on K.R.G. and the Turners Ellisgittings 👍, maybe I will forget the Champion Hurdle aspirations , until Willie say's he's on the Boat ,, 😁.

I have got a few more done in the last few weeks.

tried a 6 teamer yesterday and got done on the last game. Utrecht v Zwolle, 1-1, and then my last coupon of the day without a roll up attached to it, another 6 fold, pissed in :cry::ROFLMAO:

I am trying one today with the winnings for what its worth. Just a bit of a wild one. 6 teams low stakes for a bit of fun

Plzen v Pardubice
Midjtland v Lyngby
Crystal Palace Women v Chelsea Women
Havelse v Saarbrucken
Bremer v Hamburger SV II
Mjallby v Hammarby

I am only doing low stakes because the chances of landing one with 6 on it are slim as i found out yesterday :LOL:

Lord Byron also placed behind the likes of Bossman Jack and Selma De Vary aswell as KRG so you'd really hope there's been something wrong with him this season as his 2 runs have been shocking in relation to his G1 efforts last year.
