Grand Annual 2018

Another one for my singles . Thankyou. At this rate I will defo have a muti on again.You lot are brilliant.
 
Just posting this as a reminder to myself to look tomorrow but North Hill Harvey has been mentioned as being under consideration for this race and my first instinct is that 20/1 NRNB is too big based on his course form alone.

Will edit this tomorrow***
 
Its Bun Doran for me in this one. Just got to prey he puts in a prefect round, but positive he is capable of winning a big one.
 
The NH plot horse Theinval not gonna get in?? little hope for Bun Doran as well.
 
A left field one for this - Avenir D’une Vie. Lovely weight, form looks solid, Davy on board maybe? Worth a squeak at 25s nrnb

that's a good call
 
Would you not be worried about the round for Avenir d'une Vie? Has disappointed both times he's seen decent ground.

I've one eye making sure most selections can handle soft at this stage. Am sure that it won't be rattling fast but even if it was he ran the bumper here on good ground and was only 6 lengths off the winner ballyandy

Not at minute, will need to get in first. So will be able to weigh ground up nearer time. Not sure price gonna change a great deal between now and then. It's only entry though.

Fair point Rob. I might come unstuck just assuming its going to be good to soft or better.

Can get 33s NRNB with 365
 
Theinval has a nice weight imo

So do the bookies.... as the ante post fav at this stage :p

Theinval has a really good chance in this. Has been the plan for the whole season and I'm expecting a very bold show.

It’s been known all year that he’s been aimed at this. Not quite as big a plot as Vaniteux but still quite obvious.
