Aintree 2025 Day 1

Murcia 12s with Paul up a touch overpriced compared to Puturhandstogether - 13lb swing for the Fred winter run

Track and ground should suit Murcia well

Was a toss up between her and Nimble as cover for my Conti bet.
 
7/1 on gaelic warrior with hills will do me

Him and impaire et passe will be my two plays on day 1
 
Cracking day's racing isn't it.

Not sure I could pick a single winner tho

Yeah Impaire et Passe likely to be one of my big plays this week.
Mr Hope Street also on that list….

Aye Skelton has laid him out for this race, won it last couple years I think, certainly did with the mare last year.

I’ve taken the 6/1.

It may be different with big races/festivals but I'm programme into not betting until the day outside of Cheltenham, I've lost plenty of accounts in years past by taking a price the night before that was wrong...

Can’t argue with that, don’t take many antepost positions outside of the festivals too.

Not sure if Mr Hope Streets price is wrong, if that’s what you’re meaning Ista, It’ll depend on decs and how Skeltons week has gone as to how short he may go.
 
I cannot see Impaire Et Passe beaten if he hes 100% sound, that flogas run just wasnt the true him

Completely agree. Probably one of my best bets of the 3 days. He's one of my cliff horses :onthego:

I'm pretty sure your ai will disagree with you, he's a big Gidleigh fan

I'm with you, Zach. Can't be having the Brits beating IEP. He's just about my bet of the day.

Haha it did pick him to win the lightning novice chase to be fair at windsor when he was outsider of the field, ill give it a spin later on all the races, it did alright at cheltenham and profited given it picked bob olinger out at 20/1 the night before racing

Sorry I wasn’t clear; betting on something at 6pm where the price is wrong is what has cost me accounts, Mr Hope Street is not a wrong price I’m just programmed not to play because of the risk attached and as I now only have access to mates accs I am even more careful.
I’ll happily have a smash up 9/2, I can’t get 6/1 so what I never had I’ll never miss…

Much rather back Croke Park than IEP personally. My big play for day 1. If it makes you feel any better :welcoming:

Live Conti and Spillane's Tower likely small plays as well.
 
I’m in the IEP fan club and have backed him for the Ryanair but am wary of Croke Park. Hoping for a WTAF price on him, especially as Hills are top price (40/1) on him for the Ryanair. Not seen any up yet but pretty sure they offered some for Aintree last year.
 
I'm laughing out loud at nobody giving Gidleigh a chance
 
It's best not to be so emotional about these things.

Of course he's got a chance. He's a general 9/2 shot.
