Wednesday FJ yankee - owner KingSprinterSacre

Monalee, Altior and Samcro are three obvious ones I think are good for multis.

At the prices, Monalee at 3/1 gets my vote for this.
 
Blackbow in the Bumper. Won the strongest bumper run this season fairly comfortably.
 
giving this a bump lads.
Just on the picks. We may want to avoid the Ballymore. I think it was mentioned on other threads that not everyone can get on the without markets. And I don't think I would be for turning on a Samcro victory so we don't need an odds on shot in the yankee.

On the cross country. Again i'm already convinced on Cause of causes and have secured much bigger prices and half the forum is in the same boat. How would folks like to approach this? Is there still any juice in his current price?

Personally I do not see a problem adding CoCs if you fancy it.. Samcro & Altior are going to be short where CoCs is around 10/3 so still value in a yankee..
 
Unless Tiger Roll rains on his parade ..which wont happen. He's a street ahead of anything . He should be 7/4 on the day. So yes there's juice still . KSS.
 
Cause of Causes still has plenty of juice in him at 3/1 for me but at the same time I have plenty on him so I can go either way on him. Josies Orders went off 15/8F for the race in 2016 having won the trial races. Although i'd expect Tiger Roll to gain some attention, Cause of Causes in my opinion will absolutely end up either the same price or shorter than what JO went off.

I'd avoid the Ballymore and Champion Chase and the handicaps on the day I am yet to really delve into bar Act of Valour in the FW.

I struggle to split Presenting Percy and Monalee in the RSA but if this turned into more of an EW yankee then Elegant Escape is a far too big price at 33/1 in this as I feel like he could turn the tables on Black Corton. Danger being you'd want to know he comes here for certain before placing and by then the price will have gone.

I'd be siding with Blackbow at 6/1.
 
I’m a big fan of Monalee and think there’s a huge amount of value in his price at the moment.

What price do you think he should be MoM?

I think his price looks right, rather than value. He does still have to prove he is as good at 3miles.
 
Ballymore- Samcro
Coral- Le Breuil
RSA- Monalee
Champ Chase- Douvan(Just because of his price)
X Country- Cause of Causes
Fred- Act of Valour
Bumper- Hollowgraphic

Can turn over monalee and presenting percy is nothing to worry about at all.

Agree with the selection, no the reasoning perhaps but same result haha.

ABP SHOULD stay a decent price too...

Ballymore - Next Destination at a fair price to burst the Samcro bubble. Gordon has had the next Arkle for Giggi 3 or 4 years on the trot now.
RSA - Monalee a proper graded horse whereas Percy is a very good handicapper. The Flogas form looks very strong and Monalee has the best of that form.
QMCC - Douvan is the best that Willie has had. If he gets there he wins.
XCountry - Cause Of Causes has unfinished Grand National business and I see this as a prep for that for him. You could say the same for Tiger Roll but, at the prices, it's a chance that I'd take.
Fred Winter - many like Act Of Valour but, at twice the price, The King Of May has enough of a weight swing and one of the shrewdest trainers in the business.
Bumper - Blackbow looks the most solid of Willie's but it would be no surprise if one or more of his outsiders go well.
 
Ballymore- Samcro
RSA- Monalee
Coral- William Henry
CC- Altior
FW- Act of Valour
XC- Causes of Causes
Bumper-Blackbow
 
Ballymore - Samcro
RSA - Presenting Percy
Coral - Le Breuil
CC - Douvan (if they run)
FW - Oxford Blu
XC - Causes of Causes
Bumper - Hollowgraphic
 
Alright lads we need to start nailing this down. Went back through the posts tonight to see what is popular. List below in order of votes.
Just as note again I wont be adding a selection in the Ballymore due to Samcro price, he wont be beat and not everyone has access to without markets.

1. Cause of causes (cross country)
2. Act of Valour (fred winter)
3. Monalee (RSA)
4. Le Breuil (Coral cup)
5. William Henry (Coral cup)
6. Blackbow (Bumper)
7. Al Boum Photo (RSA) Hollowgraphic (Bumper)

Then we have a few other low number of votes for some others..
