Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle (Fred Winter) 2019

Farid entered tomorrow and eligible for a handicap mark after tomorrow's run.

I haven't given up hope just yet.

As painful as this time of year is with the non-runners there are normally 1 or 2 bets that come back from the grave, hoping this might be one of them :)
 
Can anyone tell me typically what sort of rating you need to get in here ?

Flying Tiger highest rated to win this of 134. Veneer was 129. Handicap can be now compressed as everyone fights to get in. Last year 139 - 126. 2017 not too bad 139-124. But do tend to be rated 129/130 to get a run. 2016 ratings between 128 and 142. 2015 and 2014 both covered by 12lbs.

Taken from gaulstats
 
Fusil Raffles and Rose Sea Has both run tomorrow..
I know Scooby said look out for the latter.. must be worth an EW

I know he was hoping for bigger than the 16/1 and 20/1 - if that helps. (For Rose Sea Has - Fred Winter)

Fusil Raffles he's on as a double at 90-odd for the Triumph.

What's the reasoning Rigga? I must have missed the post.
 
I love it when horses get tipped at shorter prices than I already have ... feels like a winner already :highly_amused:

Haha same.

I’d say this race is usually the hardest of the week. Was on Nube Negra last year and thought I’d cracked the code when he turned in front and kicked two clear but unfortunately not.

My only bet for this is also Lethal Steps at 20/1 each way. The argument for him from someone on here ages ago tempted me into a couple of points.
 
...Sporting Life’s Ben Linfoot giving a mention to Praeceps in this.
 
The Racing Postcast ante post section on this wasn't as awful as the others have been.

A newbie stats guy came up with some crazy theory about French bred NH horses and flat horses with over 10 runs ....

No idea if it's useful, but at least it was different! (Although Konitho was the main selection for him and I think I read he's going to skip the festival!)

Think joseph has definitely said Konitho not coming over in his stable tour.
The PP rep was talking absolute bollox as usual.
the tricast stat was awesome

Yeah, he did:

"He’s entered in the Fred Winter, but at this stage it doesn’t look like he will be running."
 
Interesting entry for Belargus in the imperial cup.
Only 4 yr old
Only JP Mcmanus horse.

Remember Ashkazar nearly doing the double many years ago
 
Love Belargus for the Imperial a Cup, and 25/1 here is also a big price.
 
Praeceps off 129 would interest me if getting in - worth a poke at 33s with B365
