If Patrick rides him in this race hes going off fav or near fav. So whats the odds him turning up 2/1?? Some might say higher or lower but that would be my take so 33/1 looks worth a go.

I wouldn't want to risk cash , but I have thrown a couple of Free Bets on with Sky Bet @ 40/1 :)
 
I'm surprised anybody is questioning whether Faugheen would stay the trip. That wouldn't be a doubt for me.

Even if Faugheen has regressed he's still going to be top rated in the race (top 3 at worst) and he'll just have a huge class edge on the likely field.




It's not really like we have any frames of reference for similar things happening.... but I'm now more cautious and I lost enough in the 2016 season when Annie won the CH to get strung properly by an ante post bet on Faugheen ever again :highly_amused:




Free bets only for now.... the perfect free bet material though as I said before...


Obviously depends how you view a free bet though...and they aren't free.
 
Ruby has just give. Carefully Selected in this on Road to Cheltenham.... lovely stuff and hope he’s right! 20s still

Ruby also gave Saldier as his Churdle tip so I wouldn't trust anything he says.

100%, i can certainly see why folk think he'll go nHC, but i'm still holding out for rsa. if he loses over xmas and looks too slow, ill bet him for this then.

Am I missing something here? He tipped up Saldier as a dark horse at 25s before he ran and then subsequently beat the supreme winner. Unfortunate that he has since picked up an injury but im guessing by your comment he tipped up Saldier again just before his knock?

Sorry did't tip him up at that time, but didnt mention anything was wrong
 
Ruby works for a bookie. No way can I trust him.
 
I take any of Ruby's 'tips' with a pinch of salt too but he would know the horse very well since he was purchased from his father Ted. CS is tailor made for this race & if he's beaten by one or two nice ones at Leopardstown over the Christmas surely Patrick will be twisting Willies arm off!

Maybe but I'm still hoping Patrick is on Faugheen.
 
Price has been steadily contracting for this race the past few weeks...

I think Ruby said the same post race. I think loyalty to the jockey will mean the RSA though.

Il go back and have a look but I think he said Sam Spinner would be Faugheens biggest danger in a NHC
 
O’Keeffe stated couple of times Sam Spinner RSA, be amazed if they jocked Colliver off him, capable of running in the attrition that is the RSA
