Samcro shortening on odds checker for the JLT ?? Any one heard anything on him going novice chasing ?
Even if he was, you'd be bonkers to take less than 4/1 for the JLT when the target won't be confirmed.
Personally, if I fancied Samcro for the JLT, I'd take half the price for "any race" instead. It is perfectly conceivable he goes for the Arkle or RSA and whatever anyones opinion of which he'dd go for, nobody can rule any of the novice chases out, so 4/1 is an abysmal price IMO for that race.

That’s exactly where I’m at Kev.
I said all along I expect him to go JLT. I’ve not backed him for that race though but am on for any race at 5/2.

I have my issues about Laurina in the Mares as I’m not sure Sullivan would be at all happy with that but is this what we are going with for May?
I'd probably prefer Penhill for the Stayers at 6/1 (or 7/1) than Laurina for the Mares at 3/1.
Target confirmed, 2x C&D festival winner. Best trainer, won it this year with zero prep run so even not having a run wouldn't be a negative...

If I were to take one of them out it would be Tiger Roll @4/1
No idea how he will come out of the national, and his 4/1 is much worse than CoC @10/1 which we all banged on last year

Might be taking in a flat campaign though I’m not sure a trip to Ascot and Melbourne will be a huge issue.
We have him in a March Yankee, correct?

I'm going to go with this one as it was the last one posted. Not a fan of having Tiger Roll in there at that price but these Yankees are a bit of fun and it gets a few horses into the book and then we can get started for June.

I’ve just looked on oddschecker and the best odds for this is with Bet365 at 2730/1
Yeah I can too, however thinking about it, if she does go chasing, she'd perhaps be the standout over novice over 2m?
Then it is a BIG call to 'waste' the novice races at the festival (Arkle)... It was similar with Yorkhill when there was talk of him coming back over hurdles before his JLT win, and Mullins said it'd be too big a waste to miss out at Cheltenham, but they'd consider the switch afterwards... different horses and trips (and options) but Laurina for the Arkle would interest me a lot.
