Sky have a race between Mullins runners


4/6 - El Fabiolo
5/2 - Dysart Dynamo
9/2 - Saint Roi
25/1 - Ha D'Or
 
Effernock Fizz is going to drive Dysart Dynamo mad up the front. Could be a repeat of the Footpad Arkle except there are two contenders to pick them off late.
 
I'm surprised how short Saint Roi is in comparison to the 3 at the head of the market. Does anyone think he's got a right chance in this? I was considering covering him as have a great position on the front 3 but feel like I'll be giving too much away when he's single figures. Hopefully he drifts a good bit.

I think he's been that horse everyone was chipping away at ew, trying to steal the 'value' and hes shortened from that. imo I can't see him winning and wouldnt be for me, but understand those with books who might want to cover.

I don't have a full book but have El Fab 33/1, Jonbon 12/1 and DD at 20/1 - all win only. Covered Hollow Games each way when I thought it might be a small field at 50/1.

Saint Roi is only 9/1 on the exchanges and that's worrying me. That surely gets pushed out a good bit before race time, doesn't it? The more I think about it, the more I'm going to have to cover him in some form.
 
Popular horse for an each way I imagine based on the idea that he picks one of them off on the run in.

I was going to cover e/w but a place pays odds on and I don't think it's that certain it happens so going to leave him alone

He's won a County Hurdle on the bit and finished 4th beaten just over 7 lengths in a Champion Hurdle on just 2 visits to the course......:barbershop_quartet_member:

He was the best of them over hurdles with good festival form and is a G1 winning novice chaser

You'll get double figures on the exchange though between now and the off?

Dysart Dynamo 7/1 at the moment with 365 for their bet boost.... win and each way
 
The rain falling currently has to be a negative for Dysart given his running style - Big price though!
