Tony Calvin said on the Betfair podcast that Allaho has been weak on the exchange, any truth to that or is he talking bollocks?

Yeah a bit. He’s drifted a point from 4s to 5s but that’s probably because Banbridge emerged as a credible potential winner.

can get 4/1 for him on there, hes gone out a tiny but i wouldnt class that as weak tbh probably just a reaction to banbridge winning at the weekend

Not particularly IMO.
Just Banbridge effect I reckon.

 

[Stormez]

Ah ok, he made it sound a bit more sinister than that!

 

[Evesham Road]

Looks like it could be a bit of something to me...only £1 left to lay below 19/1 and he's already the longest price he's been in months. Other market principles meanwhile aren't exibitng the same 'Banbridge effect'.

 

[Imperial Commander]

I think there's an effect in there that a few pundits (Ruby in particular) were disappointed with his KJ run and think there isn't yet evidence after his break that he's the horse he was before his break.

 

[Lobos]

Ruby's tipped up Appreciate It, Envoi and Jonbon for the race as well so that sort of tells you what he thinks the chances of Allaho are.

Indeed
He would rather have the 2nd fav for the QM!!

 

[BigChaang]

Worry for banbridge backers would be if it came up soft, connections wouldn't think twice than to wait for Aintree?

Yeah , definitely , i backed him early doors , so will be Glued to the Weather Watch section of the Forum from mid february . :hopelessness::highly_amused:.

Allaho an intended runner on sunday

A little surprised by that given he had such a hard race in the King george

If he does run that suggests they're definitely looking for more spark.

Thats a head scratcher. They've gone from 1 target in mind and an easy campaign to the King George (which was a tough race) and now possibly racing Sunday.

The complexion of this race could change entirely by Sunday night if Allaho runs poorly and EF beats Jonbon. Lots of ifs and buts, but it's intriguing.

He'll hammer that field if he turns up there, even on his worst form this season (whichever run you believe that was).

His nearest rival on official figures is Envoi Allen, and he'd have to give him 4lbs in the race.

I'm not convinced he'll run though, despite what has been said.

That's how I see it. May not go to Cheltenham if he runs flat.

I Appreciate It might be tough for you to understand, but Allaho won't be hammering this field :black_eyed:

OK, on official ratings, he should be though, even if Appreciate It winning this then the Ryanair would be fantastic.

Hopefully Allaho just doesn't turn up.

:highly_amused::highly_amused:

On Appreciate It, do we not think he’s becoming a bit unreliable? Six starts since his last victory and even those were in 2 very poor 2m novice chase runs. He couldn’t even beat Feronily who bounces between disciplines more than we’ve had hot dinners!

I Appreciate he has dined at the top table in all those starts but he surely had to be winning one or more of those races to be even thought of for Cheltenham?

His comeback run was very good don’t get me wrong, but then sent over 3m and beaten out of sight at Xmas.

 

[Lobos]

Agree. AI has been consistently average for a long time now.
