    Is There A Section On Here For The Entries?

    Or at least a link? Makes it difficult when people are chatting as if they are common knowledge.

    Price Boosts - Unibet

    Tried to take advantage of a couple price boosts and found the price boosts have been reduced. It used to automatically show the next price up - 9/2 shows 5/1. Now it appears they just change the return. If you want to know the price you are taking you need to calculate it yourself, presumably...

    Envoi Allen

    Apologies if a thread has already been created but this horse is taking up chunks of other threads. There seems to be a widespread view that he can do almost anything. He is portrayed as being in the invincible category. Facts are, yes he is unbeaten which adds a certain lustre to any horse...

    Three Horses That Are Much Too Short

    These would be my place lay treble. Arkle - Brewinupastorm Interrupted season and inadequate trip. Likely to go a million miles in this and unlikely to have the pace or jumping ability to stay in touch. Will do well to complete. Ballymore - The Big Getaway Nice long term prospect but he has...

    Which Are Your Current No Bet Races?

    Supplementary Entries

    How Many Races Are Up To Scratch This Year?

    The Arkle looks as if it might be really good and then maybe the Ballymore but after that? Perhaps we don't have that many superstars or perhaps where we do there is a lack of competition? I am thinking of the likes of Buveur D'Air and Altior.

    Brown Advisory Plate 2018

    Couldn't see a thread for this so here goes. Tully East obvious likely candidate for this although he is running over the minimum trip tomorrow. The fact that he almost favourite is probably a reflection that the race is not that great for the money on offer. Disappointing earlier in the season...

    1000 Guineas

    Sorry if there is already a thread. I am not big on stats but does anyone know what Aidan O'Brien's record is with seasonal debutants? I know Minding got the job done but I am not sure the 1,000 Guineas is anything like as important to Coolmore as the 2,000 Guineas.

    Horses To Take Out Of Cheltenham

    Without giving it too much thought I think these three fourth's should progress:- Burbank Constantine Bay Coo Star Sivola
