...reaction to Fanion Destruval’s win today saw it cut to 16-1 with Bet365 for this (they go 20-1 Arkle). Paddy Power on the other hand are 50-1 for this and only 16-1 Arkle.
I took 33/1 with PP due to a blip on their website app 5 mins after the race. They had 2 prices listed Fanion Destruval at 16s and Fanion d'Estruval at 33s. Someone will be getting a bollocking.

There is absolutely no way anyone can make a case for a horse being a good bet in that race :highly_amused:
Certainly not each way, as all of them have a place chance.
I am going to have so many tabs open during that race.
I want Fakir to be leading but fade away due to stamina,
BOD and CC to be outpaced but stay on strongly.
all with Samcro making Roland Pump look bang average (unless I back RP between now and Sunday) :very_drunk:
They don't run Kev :very_drunk:
Definitely don't want Fakir D'oudaries beating Samcro over 2m4f. That won't be good for me at all.
I definitely think he'll be better over the middle distance trip...with the 8pds he's very dangerous.
You'd have to hope Samcro is more than 8lbs better than Fakir D'oudaries though.
If he's as good as horse as he all thought in his Ballymore season, he's got to be giving him a beating.
The Melon camp weren't scared of Samcro when they both fell in that race after Cheltenham. The quotes at the time were something like 'no horse should be odds on against Melon' - it's always stuck with me.
Although proven to be false in hindsight :highly_amused:

Was it not 'no horse should be odds on against Sharjah'![]()

That's true if Samcro is all that of course. 8pds means to me he has to be very much all that.
Fakir probably capable of running to high 140s at least?
