VDF still the wrong price. Guess it wont be running.
 
Huge step up for all of them. Can't have the disparity between SB, Bedrock and VDF.

My tissue would be 4/6 BD, 3/1 SB, 10/1 VDF, 12/1 Bedrock

You agreed earlier 25/1 was wrong if running. Make your mind up, 25/1 is a silly price.

I take it your assuming the drift on Samcro means he isn't a runner?

Hoping he runs like as im going but not holding my breath.

I'd say there is now zero chance he runs.
 
Unless he's had a set back or out all together. what possible excuse do they have for not running him?
 
Bazza more worried about Laurina in March anyway ..

"I think Buveur D'Air is better than his performance on the day suggests and he's a horse to look forward to but Laurina is probably the one to be more worried about than anything," the Drumree native says.
"She has the mares' allowance as well and Willie is throwing her into a Champion Hurdle. You saw the way he protected Annie Power with the Mares Hurdle before Faugheen went by the wayside.
"The fact that he's willing to put her straight into a Champion Hurdle, he's thinking she's top drawer. You'd respect that but the pecking order will only start figuring itself out in the next few months."

I made my mind up. There was 3 places. 25/1 with 2 places is a whole different bet
 
Sky went 9/1 VDF when Samcro drift. My 10/1 wasn't far off.
 
154 Irving (cough)
140 Flying Tiger
139 Mirsaale
132 Katgary

Hope Saturday's race is better than last year.
 
Must be one of the best ever renewals if they line up.
