Hills TWAR Movers & Shakers

.....Keskonrisk 20-1 from 25-1.
 
....Star Gate 16-1 from 25-1.
 
....Shadow Rider into 20-1 from 33-1 after its win today.
 
Just read your piece on Dickie Diver, but DD has been given a handicap mark already? I assume because he ran in a handicap novices chase?

Been given 141.

That seems odd as it was actually his last hurdle rating too, i thought horses had to still run in two races to acquire a mark unless entered into a hcap were by then they get given one providing they meet the races requirements?

It's what I always thought too, but Palmers Hill got given a rating also, and he ran in a novices handicap first time up.

I'd imagine they have to pay some sort of supplementary fee to get in a handicap race first time up? But I don't actually know for sure.

Yeah you can go straight into a novice hcap chase first up plenty do when rated sub 130/135 and they can be great form lines(Demachine best example of a race this year) but unless entered i such events in thought it was 3(but 2 at present since last May)? happy for someone to correct/enlighten me.
 
William Hill website shut down for 24 hours yesterday - promises of an ‘update’.

And yet, still, all ante post bets processed ‘pre November 1st’ are still not showing any potential winnings, nor any bet boosts used on each bet.

Completely unacceptable.

I know it’s been touched on, but does anyone else still have this same problem, even after their ‘software update’?

The problem lies even more with the fact that currently, their is no way to contact them directly on the phone to discuss their ineptitude!
 
Is it just me or is Eklat De Rire not priced up TWAR? He interests me but I’ve no clue whether it’ll be the NHC or RSA!
