JLT Novices 2018

JLT Novices' Chase favourite Willoughby Court has poison in a foot, reports trainer Ben Pauling, and cannot be regarded as a certain runner at the Cheltenham Festival. Story to follow on racingpost.com

I couldn't find this thread dosent sound optimistic. But we will see

The news about WC isn't great, I haven't backed him at all for this race anyway, but it does take the shine off of a race when a horse who is well fancied gets pulled!
 
It was poor enough with him in. On this year's evidence he was only being priced up on hurdling form and lack of opposition.

Even more reason for Monalee to go here as the chances of him being able lead and dictate would obviously increase.
 
Step forward.....Finian's Oscar :highly_amused:
 
Monalee connections must be tempted to go JLT route. Definitely an 'easier' option than the RSA.

And I'd look like I was right all along!

Invitation Only would be 'left in front ' at the head of the market. Mad not to take him on if that's the case!
 
Have a cracking bet with Footpad Monalee Presenting Percy in the 3 novice chases. What does he have to beat that he already hasn't if he turns up in this? Finian's Oscar? Surely connections must be strongly considering it.
 
Not feeling the love for Snow Falcon at 25/1 in this; he has to be value against Invitation Only (5/1) and Al Boum Photo (10/1) over a furlong shorter than the Flogas and on the likely better ground at Cheltenham. Outstanding bet NRNB

Very nice. What odds did you get out of interest?
 
PP have moved Invitation Only out to 6/1 from 4/1 which seems odd in light of the WC news?

Did a €10 treble before DRF at 5/4 10/1 & 11/4 at NRNB BOG with bet365. It's less than half that price with them now.

Also have trebles, four/five/six folds of the 3 of them with the following:

Getabird - 9/4
Samcro - 6/4
Dortmund Park 10/1

For the 3 novice hurdles.

Bet was €20 all in and returns about €16k for 6 winners.
 
Ah right cheers Innoko. Seems to be happening alot this year!

Yeah really strange as I presume it's just a scraping API, or bookies themselves plug in prices. But keeps happening, and with different bookies

He was one of the horses I looked at but although he jumps fences better than hurdles (that wouldn't be difficult) he is still hesitant at too many. I have a feeling he also wants a flat track. Although he has probably landed a job for life jock not a plus for me.
 
Haha, after complaining how naughty Bill Hill's non runner insurance offer was, it appears my Willougby Court bets are covered by it

He also woudl have been as fit as a flea. Been on the go all year, can't see where the improvement would come from .
