Sequestered :- has anyone got this horse on their radar? Trained by Gilligan. Ran in the Martin Pipe last year so has festival experience. Has had 4 runs as a novice chaser so I think qualifies for hvps. Won impressively last time off 125 to get RPR if 141 by 10l in a 3m hcp ch ‘sauntering clear on long run to home’ Leop. He is not listed in betting for NH Ch or any of the other hvps as yet.

Been put up to an Irish mark of 137, 20-1 across the board in ultima should provide a gauge.

Yes he’s on mine to an extent. My main concern is whether his jumping will hold up and I prefer him when he is held up so possibly not ideal for the ultima. I don’t think he’d get the extended trip so not on my mind for the NHC

I emailed the HRI - its 2pm tomorrow.

I think they could be really informative this year. I said earlier in the season that I don’t feel Willie is quite so gung ho with his block bookings this year, so we might get a good indication of preferred trips for horses.

Good to know :encouragement:

For a few of the younger horses too who we have yet to see, should be a good indication of whether we'll be seeing them at all this season.

I think aside from JP's he's likely to block book most of the rest and then bookies like PP will play mind games and yoyo with the markets for 3 weeks.:rolleyes:
And Lobos will tell us all about it.

I'm keeping quiet and letting you all suffer in silence and pull your hair out wondering what I think.

Sounds bang on!

Bookmakers and exchanges playing silly buggers for Cheltenham once the DRF is done too!

:highly_amused: You and I both know that's impossible in all respects.

Don't worry, I'll probably mention one or two and get laughed at instead :highly_amused:

Usually those Early Entries close one day and released the next by HRI (very slow c/w BHA).

Also when HRI early close on the Premier Hcaps at the DRF on a Weds, in past years, they dont release the list of early entries until the following Monday, just before Weights announced.

Sounds good for Kempton then as currently raceable.

I have managed to win a pair of tickets to Punchestown on Sunday through Sporting Life, but unfortunately home circumstances mean I can’t make it. Would anyone like these? Free obviously and first come first served.

Edit - now claimed - thanks all

I've received an email from William Hill yesterday telling me that there has been some changes to best odds guaranteed. Telling me it was previously available from 10am in will now be available from 8am on Race day.
I never received the previous email removing best odds from my account, although it is something like 4 bets I have placed with William hill in the last six months so I was surprised to get that email from them, upon visiting the site it is there but I needed to opt in to get it. Anyone else get this email?

No email but it's showing on their promotions page as well. Couldn't find anything to opt into though.

I guess you can find out for sure by placing a bet after 8 am and see if it shows as BOG in your bets.

Just click on the promotion and it automatically opts you in. If you don’t open up the promotion I don’t think you will qualify

Cheers mate. Learned so much from this community the last few years - just want to give a bit back if I can.
