Brave Seasca only up +1 to 146 as well

I like Before Midnight, Brave Seasca and Rouge Vif for this atm although feel like I'm leaving a big Irish door open. Hopefully the leniency from the UK handicapper this year gives the British horses more of a chance!

Does anybody know anything about Entoucas’ well-being? I’m assuming injured, but haven’t heard confirmation of that

Kevin Blake said on the Betfair Podcast that he died ages ago.

Nice of them to let us know, I threw him in a free bet double 3-4 weeks ago.

Very poor from a major outfit IMO that. You largely get used to this sort of stuff but was pretty sad to hear he’s no longer here.

Adding Coeur Sublime @ 10/1 NRNB. Rated 148 in Ireland so maybe low 150's here. Henry mentioned this and with NRNB seems to make sense. I like horses that have been cutting their teeth in more competitive Grade 1's for this.

Really like THEDEVILSCOACHMAN for this at 20s still.

Novice chaser who's only finished behind Ferny Hollow, Coeur Sublime and Saint Sam! Not a bad profile and of course the all important bit... JP owned!

I did like him for this but he still needs another Chase run to be given an handicap mark to race in the race currently. And the only entity he has is in the Boyne Hurdle atm so looking like they maybe reverting to hurdles after jumping poorly last race

Yeah he was my early fancy in this but it looks likely they’re keeping his novice status intact till next season with that hurdle entry on Sunday.

Ah! didnt clock on to that! Cheers mate
 
Il Ridoto 20/1 NRNB interesting for this after a good mention in the stable tour. Hard not to be taken with his Newbury win when he looked a horse firmly on the up. Sandown plainly came too soon upped markedly in grade. He looked the best horse at Lingfield when conditions suited War Lord down to the ground and back to a bigger field and better ground I think he’s got lots more to come from a mark of the 143.

Nicholls quite often has one that ends up short in this and Il Ridoto looks like a prime candidate to be a market springer to me.

Nicholls runners:
2021 - 7th 22/1, 8th 25/1, 9th 28/1,
2020 - 4th 5/1, 14th 25/1
2019 - 3rd 8/1, 10th 9/2f, 11th 8/1
2018 - 1st 15/2, 7th 16/1, B 10/1
2017 - 8th 7/2, PU 8/1
2016 - 1st 28/1
2015 - n/a
2014 - 14th 40/1, F 7/1
2013 - PU 7/1, PU 16/1
 
Rouge Vif not even mentioned in the Stable tour so taking that as a big negative for this unless he's entered on Tuesday.
 
Anyone backed Buddy Rich and had the cash out removed from Bet365?
