    I've got alpha priced up at 20/1 to win today and chesham with flutter. Not great considering he's 4/1 to win today, but the only other option is backing him with unibet for the chesham outright at 10/1. You'd really need him to be winning today anyway to even go to the chesham most likely, so...

    The odds arent good enough for me to be doing that unfortunately, very skimpy even when first priced up. Just gonna hope moore has chosen right. Bearing in mind that at some point aidans run in the race will end and both could be no good.

    Yeah I backed ibelieveicanfly when I saw moore was on him at 12/1 and 9/1. Kept getting cut every time I put on 20 quid 🤣

    Not interested in any particular one really, have a few in mind who id be interested in seeing what price would be offered on them but doesn't look like that'll be happening anytime soon. Unibet only ones pricing up so will have to make do with trying to get 20 quid on with them before they...

    Ah right, was hoping more bookies would price them up fairly soon but I doubt they will until entries. Thanks

    Anyone know when official entries are done for some of the lesser races at ascot? Likes of the Windsor castle or the chesham? Entries for the biggest races have been announced weeks ago. Don't know if it's just standard entry dates for the rest of the races or whether it might be this week or...

    Affordability Checks - May 2026 - Best Practice

    Imagine 30-40 years ago telling people that in the future the government will set you allowances for how much of your money your allowed to spend on your chosen pass times. Because as a grown adult you can't be trusted to know that yourself 😂. The reality is this nonsense needs to be put a...

    I think anyone backing multiple runners in novice hurdles at this point needs their head examined. In the vast majority of people's diaries/portfolios whatever you want to call them, the number one source of pre festival losses in 90% of them will be arsing around in novice hurdles starting...

    Just a prep run for the grade one at punchestown and the 50k bonus 😂

    I agree. I'd say its one of the best times for value. Along with the first day each bookies goes nrnb, and handicap entries day. Early season time in october-december I'd say is comfortably the worst. Just didnt think there would as many tipsters posting selections constantly and getting the...

    Christ I thought i could take a break for a while after the last few weeks of being glued to my phone so as to not miss any updates 😂 Note for next year - have to remain glued to it for the week after too to not miss the best of the early prices. Luckily already backed a good few of the ones...

    Very sensible decision imo. The open grade ones over two miles in the UK will consist of golden ace, alexei, tutti quanti etc with con hill gone and sir ginos future up in the air. Those races are there for the taking next year, so something has to stay hurdling imo to take advantage of such a...

    Do those self service terminals in paddy power/ladbrokes/boylesports in ireland have the ante post 2027 markets does anyone know? And any of the more obscure markets like dubai world cup/kentucky derby/breeders cup and so on?

    I don't see the interest in el cairos myself at all. I do to a point, as in it seems like a good opportunity to back and lay, as he can only really go for one race, and he's the type to still be hyped for a while, so he'll end up a bit shorter. But on the actual horses ability, he has still...

    Seems like a big drop without her even running. Did saxon not add the 7lb mares allowance on to her rpr to make it 132? In which case she's only been lowered by 5.

    He was beaten in his point to point, and trainer said something after his win on Wednesday as well about needing to work on his jumping, so he's one where i'd be a little bit wary of him transferring his bumper form to obstacles. Not saying he's going to be terrible over obstacles or anything...

    I think he said post race that he'll go chasing, or at least hinted at it, but I'm not 100% sure. I wouldnt take much notice of that though myself, could all change very easily once they actually properly think about it. Said today that kabral will go chasing too. New lion probably not going to...

    Trainer said weeks ago that ideally the ground would he soft and he'd go for the jack richards. And if it was bottomless he could go for the arkle, and if good he could go brown advisory. Last week it was looking like the festival was going to be ran on good ground, and what's the one race he...

    Mydaddypaddy was the one I actually thought could stay over hurdles of the three, just looks more of a hurdling type to me of the three. Would be a bit cautious of getting too involved in him for the arkle despite what connections say. I'd want to hear what the plans are for the new lion...
