July ‘26 Yankee courtesy of @Runragged

Yeah was 50s when I'd backed him, managed to boost to 60s so sat nicely with him. He might be worth getting priced by 365 see if they better the current odds offered, I can barely get them to price anything for me nowadays unfortunately.

Trouble when a chelt horse is added to the market this time of year though, any sort of influx of money on a selection in a short period of time will cause a decent chop i feel.
Lovely informative write up as always. Gun to head, which race do you think he's more likely to be targeted at Darlo? I see he's priced up now by 365 for the Turners at 33's. No odds yet for the Supreme.

Hendo usually targets his best at the Supreme doesn't he so would have that slightly favourite at the minute. But if a couple of these do end up being up to the grade, then he could easily move them around so that he holds the strongest hand in both races so really hard to be confident where they'll end up.

He's priced for the Supreme with paddys/sky/betfair

I know it's not Cheltenham, but picking mid summer, it ain't easy to find 4.
And playing the novice hurdle game for a yankee is muggy. IMO.

So why not put a King George horse into the 4.
Limited to B365 but Kitzbuhel @ 12-1 looks value.
Not sure Gaelic will venture over this year, as he might stick to the Irish grade 1's before Cheltenham.
Only doubt on the price is the prep race Kitzbuhel might take in.
He often chucks them all in the Durkan, and he started Kitzbuhel at Punchestown last season at the durkan meeting, so he may need to run well in a really hot Durkan if the price is to hold.
Obviously if he ran well the 12-1 would look excellent. Even if he runs like it's not his target in the durkan I'd still be happy with 12-1 King George though as his way of running suits the track as he showed last season.
 
I've been doing this with my own multi's ,
for the last few year's , unfortunately for this year , I was way too keen on Caldwell Potter for the k.g.
But I did have a few with the Jukebox too , certainly a good feeling having 3 or 4 at cheltenham running with a 16-1 , already in the bank .
Personally , for k.g. this year , i quite fancy Jango Baie , but i also fancy him for the gold cup too.
I can't combine the k.g. and g.c. with my bookie - coral ., with the same horse ..
But , as i can't see Gaelic Warrior going any other race other than g.c. , it suits pairing those two up , with 2 or 3 others.
So done a few , reversing the races.
So yes , I'm happy to do this with one of our yankee's.. . 👍.
