Might bite gold cup. 8/1
Thistlecrack gold cup 12/1
Min gold cup 95.0

Waiting to back sizing John. Nearer to around Christmas time.
Fox Norton would also be of interest to me if he gets declared for the king george.

I backed Yorkhill for the Gold Cup today at 12.0 on the exchanges this morning. He has all the attributes to be a Gold Cup winner imo. I've done a full 360 because I didn't like him at all until his JLT win.

Iv done a total 360 the opposite. Was all over him for the neptune and jlt but can't have him in a gold cup. I do believe that's his target though

I'll go with him wherever he goes. He's been very fruitful for me at the fez:triumphant:

Was having a very similar convertsation with jono at Newbury yesterday.... so confident on the target and Might Bite is the perfect horse to give Yorkhill a lead in to the race.... 2f out though, impossible to be too confident!
 
Cilaos emery stayers hurdle.
85.0 made a good introduction settled well stayed on well
 
Well Apple's Jade will not be losing whatever race she runs in!

A massive eye catcher for me in that race. Traveled strongly and hurdled brilliantly, before tiring. I'm joining you with that bet.

Worth noting at this stage last year he was AP fav for the Supreme, only when he got stuck in the Punchestown mud was he overtaken at the head of that market and he ran well enough in the Supreme to finish 5th, if he gets 3m he could be a leading player in all the big staying hurdle races...
 
Tin soldier 390.0 stayers hurdle. Literally only £2
Stays all day nasty fall on his 1st start over fences.
He got up, no idea if he's sound. But may take a bit of time and decide to save his novice status over fences. I'd give him a chance in this.

I've just backed Al Boum Photo as well - surprised 3 figures were available still.
 
Quality afternoon's racing. Might have seen at least one Festival winner there today.

Apple's Jade 100%. The most obvious one anyway. Had a smashing afternoon!
 
Djakadam Ryanair 29.0 unlikely runner but id make him about a 5/1 shot if he went.

Might bite. 50.0
Very Unlikely runner at this stage but if he ended up here id make him around a 5/2 shot.

Already backed top notch 16s ew.
Min 14s win
I'm confident with them 2 selections,
So I'll have them as cover and leave the race at that.

Ballyoisin Ryanair 160.0
Strong traveller, jumping has improved. Quite possibly a likely runner. 160.0 far too big. Around a 16/1 chance in my eyes.

Could be a great shout that. Staying on close second to Disko last time out really good form in the context of this race. I like Min but he’s unproven at the trip (at championship pace up the hill), and the race could still cut up a bit. Think Un De Sceaux is vulnerable this time around if good ground
