Currently looks like 6 of the first ten in the betting wont run here!

Which only leaves Invitation Only, Modus, Benatar and Finians from those.

Exactly how I saw it.

Monalee & ABP could both potentially come here too, but I'd imagine at bare minimum at least one of them will be RSA bound, either way it would leave FO with a huge chance to place in the race at the very least.
 
Someone must be tempted
Petit mouchoir
Monalee
Dounikos

Step forward.

I'd be surprised now if Monalee doesn't go for this race. The threat of softish ground, doubts over whether he's an out and out stayer, how open this race is looking, winning the flogas over the trip... would be a strange decision if they don't go here imo
 
'We'll speak to the owners but the RSA (Chase) would be the obvious race for him at Cheltenham'.

Still expect Monalee to line up in the RSA. I don't think WC being ruled out will make any difference.

I want monalee or petit mouchoir here.

Dosent mean it will happen though :)
 
Wanna thank COD, I read your post and then logged onto 365 and, incredibly, they were still offering me a cash out, so I took it, showed a decent profit too, amazing

No problem Mr M, but I was relaying the messages from Twitter, but glad you got your cash out :)

365 obviously don't have twitter, I was on WC at 8's for a reasonable amount, can't believe they offered a cashout, seems like someone slipped up but I gots me dosh so happy with that. Thanks again
 
Increasingly turned to Modus. Have I mentioned that? looks a solid shout now
 
ComplyOrDie said:
Haha yes robith, not one I fancy personally. What makes you like him?

Nothing particularly exciting, but I like that he's won chases on all types of ground we could get, and seems solid and reliable
 
As solid as he is, I expect him to find one or two a bit too classy for him on the day
 
This might be (pretty sure it is) by worst position of the festival.

My two main fancies in singles have been...... Willoughby Court and Death Duty which has me 12 pts down before the tapes go up!

A good result but unliekly, is Al Boum Photo to go here, having taken some big prices and had multiples with him at 25s and he looks destined to go up in trip unfortunately for me.

The favourite now, Invitation Only, I fancied to go up in trip to the RSA chase... and although I've taken some evasive action, it isn't a significant win for me. (Probably the only FAV in any race non-handicap that I haven't got covered for overall profit!)

Incredibly, (considering my position on him being a bet for the Arkle early season) my best result would be Finian's Oscar... not in terms on singles, but I've got some exciting looking multiples that he'd conclude.

Modus, Dounikos, Terrefort running would do me no harm....

and Monalee coming here would be grand! Had a decent bet at 12's NRNB and considering another big'un now because for me, 9/2 is way too big. IMPOSSIBLE to be out of the 3 on all known form! Also had some Monalee (JLT) Percy (RSA) speculative doubles!



Got to take the rough with the smooth...and I'll be thrilled to come out level for this race.... good luck to everyone in a better position than I'm in!
 
Terrefort not without a shot at all here, but will only run if soft ground. His time figures are really good
 
For me Al Boum Photo just won’t stay 3 miles. Far too much is being placed on the flogas run where he caught the eye staying on... there’s a huge difference between staying on over 2m 4 and seeing out 3 miles up the hill at Cheltenham. I’ve watched all of his races and I’m convinced he won’t stay on up that hill over 3 miles, not long til we find out (assuming he does go RSA as Ruby suggests in that paddy power column)
