Brown Advisory Plate 2018

No where near as confident on RDS now the ground is as bad as it is, unfortunately when backing him I was hoping for good/soft minimum, as I guess Paul Nicholls was too. He has said he needs better ground and of course made the entry based on that. Not all hope is lost of course but it is a big negative, as it was with PM in the Arkle.
 
I did a write up in the Ultima thinking TRAFFIC FLUIDE (33/1) would go there but he's not entered now. So I'm going in again and backing this to Win and Place. Managed to get just over 40's with Ladbrokes boost

Was this the horse that ran a blinder in the Tingle Creek a couple of seasons back, comfortably beating Sire de Grugy when he was still running well?
 
Tully East out. Bit of a sickener for those who had taken top price ages ago and watched him drift out to the same price over the last few days. Having got this far you might have thought they would still have given it a shot. Not much of a season unless he comes good at one of the other Festivals.
 
A friend of mine (NH nut - he's down there currently) has just put one up to me at a huge price.

SHANAHAN'S TURN
Wind op
First time tongue tie
Dropped 16lbs in ratings from peak
Should go on ground
Has a 5lb claimer on board

Well worth an e/w dabble I think. Skybet paying 1/5 6 places @ 50s but I've gone Bet365 1/4 5 places @ 66s.

After he won the galway plate?

Squigsy
regardless of how he goes it's a very good shout with methodical reasoning. Can't knock a bet at those prices. Best of luck.
 
Looooooovely.

Backed that horse 5 races :highly_amused:
 
What a buzz that was and davys a legend what a ride. Unbelievable. I'm miles clear now.

My heart is pumping. What a ride.
 
The reason I come on here! Because my knowledge alone went with RDS who ran a shocker on ground he wouldn't have liked but a lot of people put up The Storyteller, so thank you guys....again :)

finally landed on Brown Plate :highly_amused:

Superb rider.

over a fence he's second to none! Ruby over hurdles... Davy over a fence for me
 
My banker for the week and I still can't believe it won. What day....
 
You know when you see a good jockey when he refused to give up the rail to anyone, great ride & result. best horse won IMO
 
What i liked about the win was Davey said at the practice fence "it might be the only one he sees"
 
My arm is killing me from fist pumping the air and riding him home in my front room.
Genuinely feels like I rode him myself.
Ride of the meeting for me.

It was a pity TE didn't run but I don't think connections were there for a day out so wherever he goes in the next few weeks I'm definitely backing him.
