Cross Country 2020

Enda Bolger needs to send his horses around some gallops to get them fit rather than fanny around over bushes at home.

Stealing a living.

:highly_amused: brilliant!
 
Funny post Kev, fair play. Would love to see Rathvinden in this.
 
Yeah me too, no chances taken on his price though introduced at 10/1 :(
 
Worth leaving price if not on at bigger as may struggle to win off near top weight in December
Risky though, as he could win ?
Obviously talking bout yanworth

I'll leave it for now unless I can get it shoe-horned into the November yankee.


I don't really want to back a horse that's only going to be what I perceive a good bet IF a favourite gets injured.

Minella Rocco surely on the boat to Edna
 
I'd love to back against him but I cant see what, there must be a realistic chance that hes retired, and a very slight chance that he comes back and just bombs on seasonal debut.

Theres a couple of frenchies, easyland will come over i believe and try to make all, hes a win only bet, as he's either a win or unseat type of horse in france.

Urgent de gregaine is old but if he wins off top weight hes almost an ew certainty again in march with tiger at optimum form.

Diesel dallier very interesting off a light weight on Sunday. Where yanworth just puts in a clanger every time, and I'd be expecting him to make a meal of it.

Josie orders the will to win is there, but the pace and quality isn't. Iv lost all hope in auvergnat, hes had his chance in tip top form.

If anibale fly (longshot) / edwulf suddenly appeared on the radar. That would be interesting.

Not many options.




Easyland is here, but his price for this on friday is a piss take with no chances taken. Due to diesel d'allier.


Easyland may be worth adding to the market, as his owners are English and the cross country is deffinately the plan. Obviously pending how he does on friday against yanworth etc....

He'll be an interesting watch regardless, as his normal tactics would be to make all, depending on who's riding, I hope they know where they're going. as has happened before with a french raider, where the jockey had no clue and took out nina carberry on quantitativeasing when trying to get back on to the course.
 
Azrou D'Ex appears to have been ignored in the betting for tomorrow's XCC at Cheltenham. From top XC yard in France and won really well last time. Has a lovely racing weight.

Heard a few good things about him now... shame he's so close to Yanworth in the betting for the weekend.

I imagine much bigger for the festival than Yanworth is though
 
Money finally coming for Azrou. 33's into 18's in a place.

I wont be backing him tomorrow unless he drifts, he could easily do that, as theres a few big priced no hopers that are being backed. But Unfortunately Wont be a diesel d'allier sort of morning price.

I wont be shocked if he wins though.

Whats the jockey like ?
Has he had experience of the course.
apologies as I'd normally look but can't be arsed.

Hes the exact one that took out nina carberry whilst on the cross country fav toutancarmont. , so has experience you could say, but I expect he'll change tact and take a lead.
