JDB scratched from Arkle but left in Turners and BANC. Tacit admission that he’s alive at least.

Have connections of Gentlemansgame confirmed he is unlikely to travel to Cheltenham? I thought I remember reading something along those lines but cant find it now..
 
Gentlemansgame showing as a BANC non-runner on Racing Post racecard via my mobile but still listed if viewed on my laptop (albeit with no bookmaker price next to his name). Not listed on Oddschecker or on Paddy's own site.

Can still get out on B365.

Obv taken with a caveat that I'm not 100% on this but, along with trainers previous comments, it is enough to convince me.

Just checked BHA and confirmed - Gentlemansgame is now scratched from the Brown Advisory.

As posted the other day, he was removed from the Turners last week so guess Mouse just forgot to remove from the Brown Advisory at that stage and went back and did it once he was informed Gentlemansgame had a cheltenham entry after the midday deadline today.
 
Such a shame. If the reason offered my Mouse is the it, that’s poor.
 
Another one bites the dust with Gentlemansgame. GDM would win the BANC if Gerri weren't in it IMO.

GDM ain't that good ..... is he even that sure to win the NH Chase?



Both races this year look a bit pants don't they?


Apart from me thinking GC is a cert in the BANC. ....

I think its more a case of both races look average and he's above average.

I love Gerri, really hope he wins the BANC and if GDM goes elsewhere I think he'll smash all before him.

The Gerri/GDM double is not a bad shout actually. Pays more than I expected.

Yeah I've backed that a few times this season and it's healthy looking isn't it.
 
:highly_amused: I'd like him to win for childish reasons. So I can form a five a side team on here called "the Real Wankers"

Only joking before anyone starts.
COD - can be captain :highly_amused:

Finally I get to be a captain of something, plenty of you out there that can join my team, I'm sure Quevega can filter through this thread and pick my 4 team members, well done on The Real Whacker, great shout, his jumping won him that, for sure :applouse::applouse:

:highly_amused: I think we might get a squad together.
Come on - You know who you are.
All the Real wankers can sign up.
Don't be shy.:D
