Chris’s dream

Doing a tour of my local bookies tomorrow Laddies, Corals,betfred and William Hill.

Relatively new to the forum.
Wondering what the favoured races are for the above horses?
I have read plenty on this forum over the past couple of weeks and find all your thoughts very interesting.

Will be looking at Trixies/Yankee possibly.
Thanks
 
Al boum Photo - fair chance GC but I like PP
Tornado flyer - has strong fancies for ballymoore
Birchdale - not really seen the horse but I hear it’s one to have in the book for next year
Vinndication - don’t have this horse backed personally
Champ - have him for AB but hendo will probably go ballymoore
Annamix - 1 run but hasn’t lived up to the hype so far
Delta work - looks solid so far
Sharjah - can’t have too many arguements here
Master Dino - could be a big JLT player
Rathhill - looking forward to seeing him in person tomorrow
Dickie diver - no comment haven’t backed
Chris’s dream - no comment haven’t backed
 
Al Boum Photo
Gold Cup most likely. Have backed NRNB for the Ryanair but they've mentioned the Gold Cup since the start of the season, would be confident he lined up there if fit.

Tornado Flyer
Ballymore looks the most likely at the moment but Sunday may show him to be a 2 miler, or a 3 miler. WOuld be confident it'll be Ballymore or Supreme but not certain.


Birchdale
Hendo is talking about gears for Rathhill, so a vague guess would be Birchdale to the Ballymore, but loads of others to consider. Couldn't be confident on a target yet.


Vinndication
JLT in my opinion, Kim Bailey will probably take the 'easier' route near the time. One of my favourite horses.


Champ
I'd be staggered if he didn't line up in the Ballymore.

Annamix
I don't see why anyone would back him now.


Delta Work
RSA pretty confident. Big player. Could probably do well in the JLT or 4 miler, but Gigginstown's best staying chaser will run in the RSA, and that's Delta Work this season from their novices.


Sharjah
If it's not soft ground he'll run in the Champion Hurdle. So CH or nowhere.


Master Dino
JLT is the plan according to Anthomy Bromley.


Rathhill
Hendo talking about speed, and if he wins the Tolworth tomorrow the Supreme will be high on the agenda.


Dickie Diver
I wouldn't see him lining up in a Supreme, but don't know a lot about him


Chris’s Dream
I think he needs soft or worse so wouldn't play him ante post. I Don't think he's good enough for an RSA chance, I'd plump towards the 4 miler but wouldn't be a strong shout.
 
Thanks so far guys..

One or two I may just try single e/w if I can get the prices.

I imagine nearly all the races would be priced up in the said bookies ?

Would be interested in Scoobys thoughts if possible on races/selections.?

Again many thanks guys. Really enjoying the forum.
 
I wouldn't back Vinndication without cashout or nrnb. Kim told me the 'welfare' of the horse is his primary concern. Read into that what you will.

Do you have online accounts? as id advise nrnb. But ill put where i think anyway.


Al boum Photo gold cup

Tornado flyer ballymore/ supreme

Birchdale ballymore imo

Vinndication jlt / rsa / no where

Champ ballymore

Annamix could go anywhere

Delta work RSA but imo will get beat over shorter at the Dublin racing festival and drift a shade for this.

Sharjah champion hurdle but wouldnt want soft ground

Master Dino* JLT however frought with danger as a tough enough race Sunday.

Rathhill supreme

Dickie diver poss Albert bartlett. (Could go anywhere/ don't know how good he is yet)

Chris’s dream * RSA imo.

Thanks for all your input

SkyBet from time to time

I appreciate that I have missed the boat on many prices
 
Might have missed it over the Christmas period but did Willie have much to say about Annamix after the race out of interest? Presumably won’t be coming over for Cheltenham now?

Patrick Mullins was on the offtheball show yesterday and basically said most of their horses over Christmas blew up especially the ones that hadn't had a run and they weren't as fit as they thought so will be working them harder at home. Read into that what you will.

There has also been money, albeit small amounts, for him again, most probably on the back of the comments.

If Willie thought Annamix was still the number 1 (unsure if he ever said this but comments were positive about him) for the yard, then I find it difficult to desert the horse on 1 run after 830 days off, that said, it was an underwhelming performance as noted by many anyway, but if any trainer can get him ready for a Supreme it is Willie.

It's hard to see which horse he will aim at the race. I personally don't bet on his novices he sends out early.

I'd have it between

blackbow (not many entries, not heard of injury, could do a melon)
Annamix (would need to improve on his first showing)
Tornado flyer (Sunday will tell us more)
Klassical dream (25-1 still a big price, Moscow flyer entries will be interesting)
Dento des obeaux (was highly regarded last season, has had entries over 2m 6)

Unless I'm missing another lurking?
 
Aramon has a much better chance than Annamix that's for sure. He might end up not being good enough but a good ground Supreme will be right up his street.

My personal view is that with the DRF, Cheltenham, Leopards and Punchestown, Mullins doesn't seem to be prioritising the Christmas period. This is even more pronounced given the dry autumn has put schedules back.

DRF is going to be much more informative.

DEfinitely changed his plans the new festival for sure.
 
Had a bet on a horse for the supreme today with B365 prior to the Tolworth.
Just in case it won. If not I was going to cash out.
still showing as suspended hours later.
Wonder if they are getting cute

May be that they've taken it out of the market actually.
possibly something to watch for big outsiders as they can take it out of the 'system'
no idea
 
Wonder if the Rathill supporters can cash out if required?
