Ha ha I’m in a similar’ish position

Just have Lulmaba, who I got at 33/1.. and I didn’t have Romeo cover

I’ve just cashed a one DU I had on Lamba, and stuck it in on Romeo at 12/1, that price wont last long once the field cuts up
That's the one.

Romeo will be around 4/1 on the day. He has to come out and win in Down Royal first though then all systems go and you got a live one

I've got a 6 strong team. A few almost certain to go and a couple of big priced maybes

Kitzbuhel (rolled up with a footy bet) think the odds work out about 55/1
Heart Wood - 50/1
Romeo Coolio - 20/1
Fact To File - 25/1
Impaire Et Passe - 66/1
And of course Banbridge - 20/1

Just had the £20 on all each way, added one a week to my Saturday bets over a 6 week period. (Kitzbuhel was a tenner win)
Are you assuming Gaelic Warrior doesn't come over ?

I am. I've got a sneaky feeling he is going to go down the old Al Boum Photo route after the John Durkan. I haven't seen anything or heard anything. Just a gut feeling now he has the Gold Cup in the bag. He could easily come over though with better tactics. The race didn't do him any harm last season. Probably more of a hopeful guess because of his prohibitive price though to be honest.

Think Sam Thomas said last month that Steel Alley would be aimed at the King George. If it cuts up he could be a decent price.

They must be very tempted surely, especially with 2 in front of him last year out of the race.
Depends on how his JD run goes though. Wouldn't be surprised to see F2F beat him up again.

The Big Jump Off from the racing post. Keily, Segal and they have replaced Dineen with a professional punter. Should be interesting.

Edit :- He is called Moray Smith, went full time professional gambling on national hunt racing in 2017 and has made 2.2m so far o_O

You on here Moray? :LOL:

Straight away he is telling Tom Segal how to make money on the markets and he is having none of it :LOL: That's right Tom, wait until the day and give everyone a no-hoper

He has had a stinker on here Segal. Contradicting himself everywhere. Even blabs on about Majborough being a bet in the King George at 50/1.

50/1!!! was this recorded in April. I have been all over these markets. When was he 50/1?

He's getting it mixed up with the Gold Cup I reckon
