Completely off topic but having worked on the other side is there anything you can share with regard account restrictions/closures, anything members can do or shouldn’t do to maintain accounts ?

If you place a bet of ?200 or more in ladbrokes/coral shops you immediately become a monitored customer and every bet you place after will be monitored
 
What do we make of 365 refusing to price those two up? It's not usual for them to refuse, and I wonder if there is a change going on behind the scenes.

I got a mate to request a horse for the Triumph with Bet365 and they refused and said they’d need to wait until he was entered.
 
Never had much joy with 365 after asking for an early price for a Triumph horse. And trying to get one from them for the Boodles/Fred Winter early there's more chance of finding rocking horse shit.

Yes noticeably they have very few horses quoted for the Triumph Jackie. They feel very risk adverse.
 
Magic Daze opened at odds on favourite 4/5 and TBO 6/4 on 365 for tomorrow.
 
What are people’s thoughts on Dusart for the upcoming season?

I didn’t see the full RP Nicky Henderson interview but seen a snippet that he may stay over hurdles?

Although disappointing he didn’t win at Aintree, it was only his second run ever, over obstacles and after a niggle. More than happy to forgive him but again the decision of hurdles or chasing will determine how much I fancy him. Open Grade 1 hurdles…..no, novice chasing…..yes think he could do really well, especially over here prior to Cheltenham.
 
Agree, can't think that they'll keep him over hurdles, there's nothing for him. Arkle would be my guess.

He was bought for chasing in mind and I would be surprised if he didn't go down the Arkle route,. especially being a half brother to Simonsig who won that race.

He isnt going to win a Grade 1 Hurdle, so fences seems probable

I would agree with that regarding hurdles, just wondered why he would mention it.

I’d fancy him quite highly over fences as he has so much potential improvement having been so lightly raced.

Time will tell.

By his standards, Henderson had a relatively quiet year on the novice hurdle front last season, and wouldn't have anywhere near the quality of previous years going over fences this season; IMO i could see this lad over a fence this season for sure. I think he could be more of a marsh horse given the comments of Jerry mcgrath in Paul Ferguson's book. He basically says he wouldn't have the pace of simonsig and being by flemensfirth would appreciate the step up to 2m4f or even 3m in time. A race like the scilly isles pre chelts could be ideal given Henderson's record in the race. Wherever he goes hes certainly one id want to keep onside of.

The recent RP quote from Henderson also stated “He wants two and a half miles…”

To me he looks Henderson's only current Arkle prospect ?? He adores that race and won't be without one in it. Can anyone think of anything else from last season's hurdlers that he's likely to target the Arkle with ?? He has Flintuer Sacre:disgust:

Would he run Dusart in the wrong race just to have a runner in the Arkle?

I agree he is his only likely shot; the marsh was just the impression i got. Henderson did go without a runner in PTKO's arkle, but had mister fisher in the Marsh the same year.
 
Noticeable at the start that the bosses Oscar isn't the biggest

Be interesting to see how he jumps
 
Hmmm, jumped significantly out to his right there. I think he lost out mostly there down to experience and fitness but still not a good debut
