Ahoy Senor is also entered into a novice chase at Wetherby. I just think they're being careful. I'd be shocked if he ran at Carlisle.
I have noticed Envoi has shortened steadily for this and to a lesser degree the Ryanair. People backing in anticipation of his run this weekend or is it something else?
I have been scratching my head trying to think of angles for this. Scrolling through Oddschecker isn't helping. I was fully on board with Eklat De Rire and delighted when I opened FJ for the first time in ages this week that most of the forum felt the same. Other than that though I'm not warming to anything.
The top 2 are a given, no more needs to be said. If APT loses its opener and goes to double figures I might back it but both are not backable for me right now, which might prove ironic as I ask myself, well what bloody beats them?
Cannot have Chantry House and I'll be so upset if he ends up winning this. But it keeps on winning so maybe I'm stone wrong.
Envoi I love but I've felt like the previous heir as the second coming, Samcro, I feel 3m2 is too steep for him. I've him pencilled in for the Ryanair though.
What does Willie bring this year? I'm not keen on ABP for obvious reasons. He'd want to be very very special to rebound this year and win. 20s not the worst AP bet you could make though. Asterion Forlonge, nah, Melon, nah. Carefully Selected looks like age and injury has taken its chance.
The Big Getaway is one I could warm to and at 66s I might be tempted. He's the sort of horse I like for a race like this. I know they might think Ryanair but I always felt 3m+ was the gig.
Outside of Willies you've the usuals like Delta Work who has a lot of racing done, you have Champ who is a big X for me, Galvin who I doubt runs but maybe Gordon will give it a go. Horse owes him nothing and might be worth a push. Secret Reprieve who'd need to find a lot to feature I think. Espoir De Romay, who knows at this stage. Melon and Fakir want the Ryanair trip for me. Samcro is finished. The Big Breakaway has potential but I'm sworn off Tizzard's horses until further notice unless there's something really special there. Fiddlerontheroof is one to keep in mind but would want to come on a lot but I'd warm to it more than Shan Blue for example
Imperial Aura is one I've landed on which I haven't dismissed straight away. Would want to show a lot after two stale outings but can be forgiven for at least one of those anyway. Seems like the further trip is on the cards anyway which is positive.
So after all my blabbering and head scratching, other than Eklat De Rire which is in the book already and APT which might enter it if it drops to double figures, I have:
The Big Getaway @66s
Imperial Aura @50s
And maybe Fiddlerontheroof @66s
And a few yet to be determined. Might just put my energy towards other races and flip a coin between the top two in March :bee:
