2027 The Prices on Offer

[Exar Essay]

King Rasko 20/1 flutter is a standout for me after the Albert Bartlett result.

I know Willie name dropped the CH but that’s unlikely imo

Would you not think the Arkle is more likely if sent chasing? Doesn’t look short of pace.

I’m not convinced Galiways want a fence either whilst the Damsire has very limited NH exposure.

I'm actually considering The New Lions as a decent bet at 25/1(e/w possibly). Will only be 8 and I thought he stayed on well into 3rd, could see Brighterdaysahead not turning up next year (breeding?). Doesn't look like much will come from the novices either.

Completely against that I've done El Cairos e/w at 66/1

Skeltons could be a real conundrum next year. Kabral, The New Lion, Mydaddypaddy, and Maestro Conti all need to split, probably over the shorter trip.

That opinion was purely based on visuals.

He impressed me no end on Wednesday, so much untapped potential, I’d hang my hat on Willie dropping a ref herring in the post race interview.

Any thoughts that Wodhooh could step up in trip for the Stayers or Elliot more likely to continue to try and milk the Mares Hurdle for a more likely winner at the festival for him?

Also got Live Conti who Dan really likes. Mentioned him as a potential Arkle horse more than once this season. I reckon Mydaddy would have a serious chance in the Churdle - am aware of the chasing quotes from Dan though.

If I was to guess
Kabral kept for Aintree
TNL Champion Burdle
MDP Arkle
Maestro Conti handicap

Yes true. I’ll keep him on the back burner though until his injury is sorted.

I wouldn’t be averse to him throwing a few at it. We need depth over here. It’d be good to see Dan campaign 2 or 3 2m novice chasers.

The British 2m novice chasers scene looks stacked next year though, that’s for sure.

Yeah fair enough. I thought visually he looked like he might prefer a shorter trip, even over fences.

…..immediately after the race, Harry Skelton talked about the way ‘he just stopped’. It suggested to me, he thought something was amiss with Kabral rather than him simply not staying.

Posters on here will know more about Horse physicality than me but the lights just seem to go out approaching the last. I’d actually be thinking 33-1 with cash-out for next years Stayers is worth taking until we’re told a little more.

 

[Killiney]

Important conversations on here for next years festival but I’m pretty confused about what races are being talked of as targets!

 

[knockando]

I welcome being shot down like a clay pigeon and being told I’m a mentalist…

But 40/1 The New Lion for Stayers?

I’m aware being targeted at CH this year and how he’s been campaigned means that’ll likely go again, but winning the turners over 2m5 last year, I watched this year’s CH and just thought he was running on one paced….and could be one for the stayers.

Can anyone to talk me out of just pissing cash up the wall though

I completely agree. Not sure he has the speed for 2 miles, and if it were me Id be stepping him up to 3, and campaigning KDM as my Champion Hurdle horse. I've played the e/w double with 365 at 696/1

Already had a few stabs at that price, be surprised if they stick at 2 miles with him, only danger is if they decide to go chasing, I know the decision on where TNL goes will be given to them by Frank & JP rather than chosen by Skelton, just a case of fingers crossed that JP feels the same as we do about the horse.

Edit - 365 cut already to 20's.

….Mighty Park is an interesting one, seems highly thought of but no idea of plans for next season.

Disparity range in Arkle betting from 16-1 (Hills) to 33-1 (365), Betway go 15/2. He’s a more general 33-1 CH.

Would have him down as a RSA type myself, looked very one paced when the taps were turned on in the supreme, 3 parts brother to Might Bite so you'd imagine the further the better for him in time, little bit of caution as his P2P form and the novice hurdle race (Using Roc Dino & El Carios) all looks like dogshit currently, but he does take the eye & its difficult to not see him improving for another summer & a fence.

 

[ComplyOrDie]

Kaid D'Authie @ 66/1 for the Gold Cup appeals to me.

Probably very little chance of him beating Gaelic Warrior, but I reckon at least 4 of them that race in the race this year won't turn up next year, maybe more tbh.

Kaid D'Authie was still going well enough, IMO, before he came down in the BANC. I'm adamant he ends up fighting out the finish with the other two.

I'd much prefer Kaid D'Authie over Final Demand who is a much shorter price, given that one doesn't look keen on a fight, to me.

Took him & Oscars Brother out of the race too, both would've wanted a little bit more give in the ground too, Oscars was finishing off very well,another 2 1/2 furlongs he'd have been a lot closer.

I expect after the complaints this year plus the 4 fatalties they'll err towards watering a touch more, I totally understand why he didn't this year and feel he delivered safe jumping ground that was fair to everyone....but the grumbles will be what sticks in his memory so next season, the likelyhood is that we'll have softer turf going into everyday.

I thought he might be more of a national type. Surely wouldn’t get much more than 155 for that effort.

Probably pure coincidence but the fatalities all occurred on the three softer days. They’ll certainly water more though, I’m sure.

….in case you didn’t see it mentioned, there is a ‘bet £5, get £5’ offer on at Hills you can use on AP. Essentially, stick £5 on one and immediately get a free £5.
