No idea, but funnily enough Petit Mouchoir was one of the others that has drifted today. was over 7/1 on the exchanges earlier, unsure what he is now.

Edit: Just checked, he's 8/1 now!!!
 
Limini in to 9/2 now

I'm almost embarrassed to admit I nicked some 48 and 50 Limini before her run last week, just saw it coming...

Hope you've laid some off? Still be in a nice position i'd imagine.
 
I'm not a trader, I'll probably ride it and have another dart for the race, Yanworth my big bet...
 
Nice one Ista. I'm sure someone on here got some 75s?

I read someone hoovered up 90, great minds and all that, he's just much quicker than me lol
 
'Twas I Ryan that got 75s,in no rush yet to lay anything back, and certainly not at the 9s on betfair. It was only for a fiver so quiet happy to wait....must confess to constant checking of her odds though!!
 
Brian Cooper has nominated Petit Mouchoir as one of his best chances of the fez according to atr
 
What's everyone's thoughts on the potential of Moon Racer turning up in this race? Considering how fragile this horse is and at 8 years old really can't see it running in a supreme when the big race is wide open this year. At 25/1 nrnb i think he looks decent value, if he turns up surely would be around the 8/1-10/1 mark?

Thoughts are he should, I don't think he will but that is taking Pipe's most recent comments at face value and I haven't really got a handle on them.

Don't use betfair very often to mop up the big prices but perfectly happy with the above...

And 1.5 points each way on Limini at 25/1 after she was entered for the Red Mills... I definitely posted it in here... have had a really good time with over priced NRNB horses so far in the build up.

Certainly going to let it ride now too.... considering a bit of the 9/2 on PP that "any other horse (that isn't BVD/Yanworth) goes off fave..... if Limini does get declared, the Ruby/Mullins factor will start and she's already fairly close? Bit too much of a leap of faith? Probably no point me having a bet on a market like that, in fact I won't... but wouldn't shock me.

On it myself Kev but at 21/1 & 23/1 for both angles covered. at least 1 of the bets will be refunded now.
 
Just because a race is sub-standard doesn't mean every horse that pitches up has a decent chance.

Personally, I don't think the likes of Limini, Tombstone and Moon Racer have a prayer.

Apple's Jade is a pale shadow of what she looked like last year. She had the run of the race to just beat arguably the most overrated horse in training. I suspect beating her this season doesn't really amount to great deal.

That is a good point and you are could be right with those 3. AJ could be backward?, Jezki an old busted flush? and MR has only beaten handicappers?

I think the point is though you can pick holes in everythings form so if you rule out those 3, for arguements sake I'll rule out Brain Power (Only beaten CDT in a handicap on a right handed track, Petit Mouchoir (Had Footpad who wasn't up to AJ standards last year far too close and Buveur D'air (small distance ahead of Rayvin Black) for having very suspect form?

When I look at the race and try to rule one out, I have enough reasons to rule them all out :very_drunk:
