Ajas has been heavily supported for the Cross Country today into 5/1 NRNB (from 8s) yet the 4/1 without Easysland is still available NRNB with Skybet requestabet

It's a cracking bet.

The videos are out there.

My two pence..... from what I've read/heard ....

In a "normal" race, Ajas would be quite a bit better than Easysland.... the cross country experience for Easysland gives him a big edge in this race....

Ajas is very well handicapped for the GN, Easysland isn't....

There isn't much between them.

Would have liked to have seen him over in one of the earlier XC races at Cheltenham as per Easysland last season. Very risky bet without any idea of him acting around the course especially at current prices. Best left alone imo.

He's been fannying about over the banks at Pau, I'd not worry too much about it.

Le Breuil, Shady Operator? Neither been over the Cheltenham course yet either, I'd say both have a chance...




If he's anywhere near as good as Easysland, he's got a great chance of being 2nd.

Potters Corner is 8/1, I'd rather back Ajas 4/1 without than PC 8/1 win every single day of the week.... as Potter's Corner has very little upside....

If Ajas takes to the course (and why wouldn't he?) then he's just better than a whole ruck of them.... you love your 'ifs' .... what 'if' he loves the course.... 4/1 will look ridiculous :beguiled:

Agree that if anyone wants to bet him then the without Easysland market has to be the play. Only backed Easysland in tidy doubles with Appreciate It and Chacun so need to see the fate of those two first before getting involved.

I'd personally say it's a very risky bet relying on two other horses to land beforehand..... but I hope you're right mate.

Yep. From having no doubles at all last year I've gone completely the other way this . Probably backfire bigtime but it's done now:peach:

Actually, I've just checked, and not even done AI/Easysland double.............must be getting late !

Yeh I've added 1pt @ 8/1 off the back of that as a cover bet to Easysland

Kevloaf thanks for posting what was said on the preview. Feel fairly happy with 8's that's now 4's less than a week later :excitement:

If he wins - what price would he go for the Grand National?
Might make the WH win the XC & GN @ 100/1 interesting?

You can get that on 365 I've seen too.

It'll tempt me to have 0.5 pts on .... not something I'll go crazy over, as Easysland is the right fav for this race.
 
Chatham Street Lad for the Marsh too (showing as a NR in the RP that is)

This race is absolutely dire this year if ajas doesn’t run. Surely some money to be made with something hitting the frame at a big big price. Still think defi Des Carres is overpriced on his last run a prep at the course that season is a big + on the stats too
 
If Ajas is out I think Some Neck is great value @ 20/1
