Hills TWAR Movers & Shakers

It’s the disparity with others that alarmed me, 14/1 generally available, if PP didn’t want to take a bet go 12/1 but 8/1, they’re shorter FD in the QM market too, what might they know...

Yep, good shout. It does make you think. Fakir is a very decent TWAR price @ 14/1 as he'd have a big chance in the Champion Chase and Ryanair.
 
...Galvin is one I want onside & there is quite a disparity in a/r markets; 22-1 Hills (with boost); 14-1 PP; 12-1 SkyBet.
 
Galvin def of interest in that market, but no rush to get involved yet, wont be a flood of money for him?

Good spot. I like a bargain.

You'd hope not.

Similar to Discorama perhaps, whereby he's got placed festival form and he will be a decent price and the shrewdies on here will spot him early enough for us to get on the right target, before the inevitable plunge on him much later on.




20/1, with 3 places - I'd be disappointed if I can't get better than that on him at some point to be honest.


It isn't a great price by any stretch, for all that he's clearly interesting. Really, he's only got the Brown Plate, Ultima or Grand Annual that he'd be good enough for?

His NRNB price for each, with 4 places, should be 20/1 at least....
 
Updated page 1 to have all horses that Hills currently have in the market. Whilst doing so, I noticed that Ferny Hollow had again been trimmed and is now 7/1 from 8's (having originally been 10's).

....good work, HE. Appreciated.
 
I went to a Hills shop in the hope that the betting terminals would still allow any race multiples, but they don't.

Added 0.5pt ew on Fury Road at 14/1 while I was in

...15-1 (with boost) is a terrific price given its 16-1 best priced for the RSA. Can’t see that TWAR price holding for much longer.
 
Quite a lot of movement today:

Ballyadam clipped a point from 10's to 9's.
PTKO 11's from 12's.
Salsaretta 7's from 8's
The bosses Oscar 14's from 16's
The Big Breakaway 16's from 20's

I thought this market would quieten down with the flat racing resuming but it seems more buoyant than ever!

PTKO still great value when you think she is 8's to win Mares Chase. Everyone needs to get on. TBB is a proper TWAR horse . He could go Marsh, RSA or NHC and would have chances in all.

Salsaretta 7/1 :dejection:

Who is backing that?!

People backing her for the Mares Chase I suppose, but crickey... if she ends up in any race other than the Mares Chase she'd be a double figure price without any shadow of a doubt.

Agree, don't get that price at all. Was lucky to win last time in a poor looking race. Honey would eat her for breakfast.
 
Agree with you there re: TBB - after the Cheltenham Tizzard had last year I cant be backing him with cash but will be sticking some free bets on (he is 20's with sky TWAR) and am building up to get a 1pt worth of free bets on him with them. Was a taking run in the ballymore.
 
Galvin into 10/1 TWAR with Sky after yesterday's stroll. Remains 20/1 with Hills.

Interesting he was cut after winning at 2/15. Classic shady bookmaking. Would you have him in your handicap shortlist or do you think he can progress and be a grade 1 novice?

Hoping Handicaps . Think he'd be competitive off top weight. He won't be good enough for anything else. Stayers maybe but that would be a longshot. 20/1 TWAR to cover every angle and remove any stress is perfect for me.

Can definitely see the logic in that!
