2027 The Prices on Offer

Hes one i can see running well in grand nationals
I'm half thinking that's what they'll be using Oscars Brother for, although I expect that'll be on the table for both if they don't show enough early next season, both will need to hit the ground running to keep the GC dream alive.
 
Kaid D'Authie is currently a 6yo novice, has to be a big price they look towards Nationals inside a couple of years I'd have thought...

The best 3m chaser around will probably win either the KG or the Savills but the extra 2f makes a huge difference in March. If they were ever going to run FtF in the Gold Cup it would have been this year.
Yep
I would have thought that would put anyone off FTF going gold cup.
But it seems not 😆
Imo he wouldn’t get near GW in a gold cup. Ones a proper gold cup
horse,just proven it, the other one ain’t and connections seem to agree when not bothering to supplement him.

He could be value bet for the Gold cup.
He’s in my team anyway alongside the impressive Kitzbuhel.
Yeah, I'm undecided on whether Kitzbuhel ran them ragged or got lucky being able to dictate, it's the proximity of Salver that's confusing me.
Kaid D'Authie at 13 points bigger is a no brainer to me...

33/1 is a fair price, but Kaid D’Authie’s from at Cheltenham does temper my enthusiasm a little. I appreciate its a small sample size but at the very best, we don’t know how he handles the track with the fall this year and unsighted in the Turners last year. The previous 7 Gold Cups have been won by horses who were previously successful at the festival. The first 3 home this year were all previous festival winners too. Most other GC winners seem to have reasonable back form at the festival too.

Jango Baie didn't do too bad stepping up. As a 7yo who has now proven he stays then he looks a very strong candidate for next year, though we are then down the 'beaten horses in GC rarely win it later' trend...
Yes sorry, I dismissed the Arkle forgetting that’s what Jango did. Agree though he’s definitely a player next year.
 
I've gone in on Gaelic Warrior again, thought the 5/1 in the hills specials was a decent price, have also added kitzbuhel @ 20's and kaid d'authie @ 66's. Also had a little dabble on final demand @ 16's but not so sure on that one.
I love those picks
 
Bookies absolutely taking the piss the way they have slashed everything following the Ballyburn news. It's like we are in February 2027 not March 2026.
 
Does anyone know if sky /hills offer requests a bets like they used to ?
 
Just looking at next year's stayers market after this renewal and spotted the new lion at 50/1, never looked a 2miler to me, cant see them going chasing as 7yo turning 8 next season and cant see him getting any quicker as he ages so reckon they could up him in trip.
Got the value looking at current price now, big dan will probably send him chasing now :rolleyes:😂

Leader d'allier holds an entry in the 2m G2 novice hdle on Saturday

He's on fire in both the 2m and 2m4

You proof also in the 2m4 along with the once ran Kielys Place
 
I’d be very surprised if that performance from
Soldier In Milan isn’t amongst the highest rated staying novice chase performance of the year. The Enabler is 20 Lengths back in third and has, in my view, out run his mark (136). I think it’s a 160+ run. 33/1 for the Gold Cup is very fair.
 
….66-1 Sup, 50-1 Turn seems reasonable for today’s bumper winner Charismatic Kid.

Agree. For one so inexperienced that was an incredible win/performance. I really couldn't see him winning at all. He is some horse to do that.
 
Was very reminiscent of Our Duke, seemed a GC contender to me
