And now we move onto the final Yankee of the year under the much anticipated stewardship of @Lobos.

All the entries and handicap weights will be at our disposal, so the discussion and suggestions should be plentiful.

Let the fun begin, maybe Lobos can give a steer on his early thoughts.

Cheers Eggs.

I'm thinking exclusively Handicaps so I'll need a lot of help.

Make sense to wait for entries and weights and we do have NRNB at our disposal so lots of positives.

I'll make the final selections and people can make up their own minds to go Win or EW.

I'm thinking Martin Pipe should be the last leg as when the other 3 come in, and with 100+ of us doing the same bet, the bookies will offer us a mahoosive cash out option that individuals can take or leave.

I'm off to the Winter Olympics for a week this Thursday so you'll be pleased to know I'll be a little quieter than usual........or maybe not.

Let The Games Begin !!!

….festival connection, I remember being at Cheltenham in the snow and I have a recollection Eddie was there. Might be the day The Thinker won the GC.

Have a great trip, Matey.

I think Wendigo is one of the big winners from the past few days, he went to Ayr and had a gentle workout on ground that wasn't desperate, has plenty of chasing experience under his belt and we know he stays, others that line up in the BANC might have had more taken out of them than would be ideal, at 7/1 i think he represents one of the best value plays available and whose price unlikely to change (much) between now and the end of the month....

There must be a chance they just leave him as is. Not every Irish horse gets tax.

He's a 9 year old who has just been stuffed by animals rated between 149-159.

Yeah, of course. They may look at that. Honestly, bit of a guessing game as to what they will do with him right now.
