Albert Bartlett 2020

365 seem unhappy to take anything on early in this market. A paltry 20/1 was the best they could offer about Eden Du Houx bearing in mind they have him priced up at 50/1 for the Ballymore that seems very tight. I’d be confident he’ll need a trip especially on good ground so hopefully he wont overly impress today if he runs.

He up against a horse today that has some tidy form in Ireland. If he was to be impressive today, he's a very good horse.

My thoughts exactly, ground & trip would be against him today!
 
25's and available to boost for 'any race' for EDH.

I like him.
 
I’d have backed him for this race had they came back with a 33/1 quote. The 25’s any race is interesting but I’d rather have the cash out option so I’ll probably just sit tight & see how today goes. If he wins today with conditions as sharp as they are maybe the Ballymore will be the plan. He looked a spud race type to me in his bumpers.
 
Overthetop runs tomorrow for Olly Murphy, I think he could be quite smart.

Not sure whether he would come here or the Ballymore, but at a profile guess I'd go here.

That was impressive COD I was a little put off based on the trainers comments

“A lovely big staying type who won a point-to-point on debut prior to joining us for £150,000. He continued the winning ways with a really solid effort in a Warwick bumper. He will be given plenty of time and could well make up into a smart staying chaser after a season over the smaller obstacles”

But he’s obviously further forward than he’s showing at home as opposed to Dundrum Wood who maybe does his best work on the gallops.

Eden Du Houx was very disappointing in conditions that should have suited.
 
I took 33’s for the Ballymore on Overthetop straight after the finished expecting him to shorten but the odds never moved. Maybe because the bookies feel this is his target or they didn’t rate his performance that much??

Wouldn’t be concerned by that TKP the bookies are not on top of everything at this time of the year.

Especially with regards to the “smaller” stables. I remember getting 50/1 about City Island for the Ballymore without rapid reactions last year.

If he was Mullins/Ricci he'd have halved, just a bonus he's in less fashionable colours which is a bonus
 
Fury Road 40/1 added in running, the further he goes the better I feel.
 
Added at 40s myself, still available with sky. Cut to 16s with 365 from 33s.
Travelled very powerfully
 
Annoyed at myself for backing him any race and not having the balls for the AB!
 
I backed in running with Skyb ,went to do the same with Daylight Katie and market suspended , is everyone experiencing that?

I tell myself every year not to get drawn into the potential AB Gigginstown horses but I always end up backing one. This year I selected Midnight Run over Fury Road.

Despite all their hype every season and having fancied runners, their record over the last 15 years has only yielded 2 winners and 3 placed horses.
 
QUOTES: FURY ROAD had a wind operation and over a trip he looks very good. He could go back to 2m4f either - Gordon Elliott, trainer

33.33% place and win ratio, at 40/1 that's not horrendous to have in the book.

I will want to get Midnight Run on side too, but 25's and not seen over a hurdle yet ask's more questions than the one I have backed.

33.33%?

Would it not be 5 win/placed from 45 (15 years x 3 places)?

They are always good to have in the book regardless as you know one performance will result in an over the top price drop
