    He was on my radar for the Coral Cup but is no longer qualified as only has the 4 runs.

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Ha ha. Not just me. There's been much more money than just mine! And of course, you need people wanting to back.

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Yeah, I've been laying him from 4.5 and under to get me out of my position and had to back Gaelic at 6/4...😱 with a massive stake. Still would love FTF to run in this as would be my biggest winner and I have so many decent multiples with him in. Garlic now a winner if he runs instead of FTF...

    2026 Jack Richards Novice Limited Handicap Chase

    He's ran 3 times. 13 of the past 14 winners of the race had run three or four times over fences(from gaultstats). I don't think experience will be an issue, just if there's another potential G1 horse that's well handicapped. Koktail Divin could be this horse so I do have him covered but I think...

    2026 Jack Richards Novice Limited Handicap Chase

    Regents Stroll was having his third run in in just over a month and I'm sure connections were over the moon with not winning. I think The Jack Richards has always been the plan since not winning the John Francome on debut due to RS unexpectedly being lit up and running with the choke out for a...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    I hope you didn't lay Ethical Diamond who won last years Breeders Cup Turf after placing in the County Hurdle off 143? Willie is the master(i'm not losing faith in both Kopek/Final Demand winning which would make my festival 😁). Although CH was very impressive yesterday and I loved the...

    2026 County Hurdle

    Yeah, i agree. But as a non book builder, it can be so deflating when you think you have a good one only for them to be switched to another race!

    2026 County Hurdle

    I see Khrisma has shortened slightly in the last few days so could she be JP's and Hendo's main County dart and Joyeuse for another race?

    2026 County Hurdle

    I wish I had backed Fact To File and Gaelic in races that are 6 furlongs in distance apart.

    2026 BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (previously Coral Cup)

    Surprise to see the Irish handicapper leave Storm Heart on 147 and raise Workahead 2lbs for coming second! Maybe he has him backed for the Coral Cup too! Willie mentioned Coral or County for SH. I'm hoping Coral and Karbau for the County.

    2026 County Hurdle

    I have similar thoughts about Storm Heart and had already backed him for the Coral Cup. I've now also covered him for the County. Was hoping he would go straight to the Festival as although they might not be trying to win on Saturday, I'm just worried his class may make a win unavoidable.

    2026 Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle

    Those on at AP many want to cash. Act Of Authority Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle, 33-1 He's set to run at Ascot on Saturday and then go back to the Martin Pipe, in which he was second last year. He loves the hustle and bustle of a big handicap. He might be exposed to a big improver again, but he...

    2026 Gold Cup

    Patrick Mullins had an emphatic answer when he was asked who he would pick to ride from all the Closutton stars heading to next month's Cheltenham Festival. "Gaelic Warrior in the Gold Cup," said the perennial champion amateur. In this evening's RP. 🤣 If only it was his choice.! I'm hoping his...

    2026 Gold Cup

    Thanks Carnage. Taken me a while to accept he will likely go GC but that's part of antepost betting! Was sitting really pretty with my Ryanair and GC books but now might end up with huge losses if Gaelic and FTF switch.

    2026 Gold Cup

    Still very much wishing FTF goes Ryanair as have so.much on him! Although he has beaten the best in Ireland over 3 miles, i'm hoping JP is put off by the 3 strong English at the top of the market and the doubt of 2 more furlongs up a hill.

    2026 County Hurdle

    Yep, he's one of the very few I've backed for the County(not based off Ruby's comments though!).

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Without FTF or Gaelic in this, I make Heartwood a great bet, and that's without Impaire and Jonbon running. Well done to those who are on him at 50s from earlier in the season! I only had a small bet at that price but have topped up at the current 8s.

    2026 Gold Cup

    Would love a GDC win but he couldn't beat Gaelic lto and I don't think Willie's excuse about the Savills taking more out of him doesn't rest well with me. I can't really believe Willie didn't have GDC at his best to win his 4th Irish GC. Maybe the longer recovery time until the GC may help but...

    2026 Gold Cup

    Does anyone give Galopin any chance of winning the GC? I know Willie said that the DRF run will put him right for the GC but I think he's talking shit. I really love GDC and he's been one of the best around so my heart is saying don't cash him out but my head is saying a big yes. I've got...
