EW NAP of the week

One of Alan Kings is already out. Given the number that dropped out of the 2 handicaps that declared today, I’m hopeful he will. I notice also he won’t run in Noel Meade’s colours.
 
Ballyoptic RSA and Debuchet SUPREME
 
That's good news, just a few more. I can't quite believe the price tbh. Have a good feeling about this one.
 
You can still get 8-1 on Foxrock. surely the weather puts him ahead of wonderful charm now...Its the bet of the week for me now with only burning ambition to beat...

Harry Derham was suggesting Wonderful Charm might not run if soft ground, horse has breathing issues from old. Foxrock a good shout and have also had a bit on Unioniste who will go well on the ground

Unioniste is also firmly on my shortlist but yes, Wonderful Charm's chance goes with soft ground
 
Double Shuffle, rated 165, second in KG, 40's is massive, improving so could well find a few pounds for the extra distance, doesn't need much to figure here
 
Sharjah - Supreme

Rich Riccis comments on him on On The Line yesterday would make me do anything but back Sharjah. He thinks the horse will have little chance in the conditions and they are only running him because there’s literally nowhere else they can run him and he’s been prepared for this race. But the ground has now ruined his chance.


Hardly feels you with confidence hearing that from the owner surely

Yes I'm hoping for a dry day today in Cheltenham!! The ground could put pay to a few of those ahead of him in the betting too

M_o_M - I've just looked through this again having been on Sharjah for a while now & his 2 wins over hurdles this season were on Heavy! I haven't thrown my betslip away just yet!!
