In fact if anyone has backed Dickie Diver for the ultima please own up now, as you need help :stupid:
ComplyOrDie & The King Pimm

don't need to respond as we know they both back every horse in training at some point during the season.

If you read the diaries you'd see I haven't. He's been backed for any race though, as couldn't decide between NH Chase & RSA.

Hahaha yeah every horse, like you do that's 300's or bigger on the exchanges :devilish::highly_amused:

He [Chatham Street Lad] is 9/1 in the "without" market, NRNB

Which is great isn't it?

A best price 20/1, best NRNB price is 14/1?


I've already convinced myself, managed to get 10/1 too with 'boosts'

Backed Franco De Port in this quite abit because obviously I think I know more that WPM. What doe we think his chances of running here are as a percentage? :angel:
 
5% chance, i think hed more suited to this then an arkle though!

Mullins stable tour suggests its another of his darts to throw at the Arkle. We all know how much Mullins likes to change things last minute though...

Actually have no idea what he's going to run in this. If he says Franco goes to the Arkle along with Blackbow and Colreevy probably not travelling the only other he has left in it is Asterion. That Patrick! bloody lying to me saying he's going Fairyhouse!

Sporting Life Arkle or Marsh Novices' Chase

I’m wondering whether I should go for a longer trip with him. I’m not sure that at this stage of his career he’s an out-and-out two-miler, it just takes him out of his comfort zone. I’m going to do a lot of thinking about the Marsh Chase.





25/1 in the without Envoi NRNB market....

Again, could be a stupidly small field....

Paul Townend's ride, for Willie, SP is gonna be less than 25/1 surely?

Marsh Novices' Chase

I’d say the Marsh might be the race for him although we may stay at home for the Ryanair Chase at Fairyhouse. Could he run in both? I don’t know. He’s a hardy horse. We’ve not seen the best of him yet over fences - things just haven’t worked out for him. There’s a big performance in him.




Could say the exact same here....although 12/1 NRNB without Envoi Allen

Boosted to 28/1, that will do!

that sounds slightly more promising haha ​​​​​:rapture:
 
Very unlikely to run here I know, but 15/2 on Latest Exhibition is available NRNB in the without E/A betting. Seems very generous, could easily see him being 2nd and if he got round would be surprised were he not to finish top 4 (assuming E/A finishes there too).

Personally a bit of a rubbish race for me. Stubbornly refused to take shortish ante post prices on E/A, just not the kind of price I take ante post. Now am left deciding whether to play a horse who is most likely to actually have improvement to challenge E/A (maybe Chantry House if I had to make a call) or just accept defeat on this one and play for 2nd.

Looking at this thread think the majority have accepted E/A as the winner but if you had to name the horse who could actually beat him (or at least put it up to him, would be interesting to hear! Chantry House feels like the one I know least about his limits if I take his Cheltenham run earlier this season out of of equation as too bad to be true.

Pleased with that. I need him to run and place, when I really can't be sure he'll run and finish :smile-new:

I’ve backed him in the w/o Envoi market as I just think if he does complete he looks as though the one with class to improve significantly.

Pitching him in against EA shows a fair bit of confidence, albeit in receipt of 10lbs.

His last run was encouraging especially the fact I don’t think he jumped right much, if at all.
