Will Melon even run here?

Genuinely hard to say. They must be tempted by the Champion Hurdle. Run LTO looked too bad to be true. As others have said, 25/1 NRNB for this looks mustard cause if he lines up that's a cracking each way price for a horse that's 222 at Cheltenham festivals
 
Randomly given a free bet by hills for completing a survey. Only for £10, but it’s still a nice unexpected gesture. Tempted by Annamix, figured it’s worthy of a free bet, however do we actually think the horse lines up at this race. Someone convince me it’s a good bet..... Wish they’d not expire to be honest, id just keep it back for the week.

I'd say that unless you really love the horse. There would be other bets for this freebie.
It's unlikely they'll get another run into it now, and as it was unproven over hurdles they would certainly have wanted at least one more.

If it runs without another prep, the lack of experience leave it with a bit if a task. I reckon

No entries in Ire for next week- so unless it's next weekend he probably won't have run in time to make the squad surely? Kept at home?
 
Thanks for reply Q, not a huge fan of the horse, have just read some comments earlier in the thread that got me thinking that’s all. I’m happy with my position in the Arkle, but wanted something at a decent price for this free bet, especially with it being a Mullins horse. Will keep hunting.

It's getting late now, I was hoping he'd have been given an entry by now, don't think he'll turn up which is a shame as I think he'll turn out to be a fairly useful chaser.

May take the Chacun Pour Soi route and go easy until the Ryanair @ Punchestown.
 
Yeah cheers for responses gents. May have to get involved in the handicaps with it. I know it’s a free bet, but still not worth wasting on a non-runner. Good luck all
 
Are hills doing any request a bets like sky are? Thats where id put it
 
They start doing the countdown bet soon. I.e. 28 days to go, some bet @ 28/1. I remember when they had Gordon Elliott to have 4+ winners in 2017 at 12/1, where I think he hit 3 on the first day. Good shout Ray, May see if they’ve got anything similar.
 
That was a very impressive run by Greanteen in the 2 mile at Fakenham. Shame Harry Cobden didn’t sound positive about a run in the Arkle for him next but aiming him at Aintree instead. I nabbed him at 66/1 before today’s race but no cash out nor NRNB
 
I've also had a small play on him at 50s as he crossed the line. Think it's worth the risk at the price as unlikely as he is to line up if he did he wouldn't be anywhere near that price. Also Nicholls doesn't really have another Arkle candidate with Grand Sancy and Getaway Trump disappointing.

Have a look at Maire Banrigh for this of Skelton's - ticks a few boxes for owners that usually have a decent one or two for the Festival & open to further improvement. Rates a live bet at 16s I reckon, was speaking to Kealy on social media the other day about it, confirming goes here & said wouldn't be out of place here either.
 
Despite what Cobden says,
I've had to add him again at 66's with coral. already had him and cashed once.

He's still entered, and if the race softens up a bit they may run here

I was surprised and impressed. Looked a real Arkle horse to me. Pity if they bypass it and give the Irish a penalty. Genuinely don't like any of the other Brits, How was this thing 66's and Al Dancer 16's? Go figure...

"Looking for a winners of one he can run in/eligible for."

That doesn't sound very festivally :highly_amused:
 
That was my question to him on twitter that, I should have been more specific :stupid:

However, you tend to find characters like Joe Chambers will only reply to fluid questions

One can only assume Annamix has had a few issues this season and is unlikely to turn up at Chelt
