Not concerned he hung right?

Yes I am slightly. I didn't notice it in the AB last season but he certainly did hang right and jump a touch to the right lto. He has won going left handed twice and I didn't notice the tendancy to hang right in those races.

The trip isn't a concern though, if anything, he might need further. :devilish:
 
I have two cover bets in BBB and Glenloe at the moment, both can be cashed out. May look for one more but not until the day I expect.

Already backed a few, but open to backing 1-2 more following the OK Corral price collapse and if I end up cashing 1 or 2:

Ok Corral 2.5 points 33s
Ballyward 2 points 33s (cash out available)
Blow by Blow 1.5 points 28s; 2 points Any race 16s
Glencoe 2 points 40s (cash out available)
The Worlds End 1 point 33s
Barcardy 0.5 points E/W and 0.5 win at 33s

Very decent position RC!
 
Well done to all with very nice tickets on OK Corral. It certainly moved quickly. I can't get involved at this price. Too much against him for my liking.

OK Corral is available at 33/1 for this and 25/1 (William Hill) for any race. He's a lightly raced 8 year old having missed over two years due to injury, following a two length defeat to Yorkhill in a bumper.

He progressed over hurdles last season and ran brilliant race when runner up in the AB at the festival on soft ground. He then ran at Aintree and was well held in 5th but this is easy to forgive (for me) due to the hard race he had at Cheltenham in march.

He turns 9 in January and I'd imagine he's a certainty to go over fences this season. With a rating of 148 over hurdles (probably not the ceiling of his rating over hurdles) he has the residual class to be a player in this race imo. I have a vague recollection of NJH mentioning this race as the potential target for OK Corral next season but would rather take 25/1 in case things don't go to plan.

2pts OK Corral 25/1 with WH.

This from 13th August last year .. Who say's Antepost is dead !!, Good Call F_M. :encouragement:
 
Great call FM.
Now all it has to do is win the race.
Just watch out when the Giggi's horse moves up alongside it as the hill approaches. Course form is big at Cheltenham.

Fair play. I should have said "winning" form. I can always rely on you to put me straight. It was only said in jest hence :devilish::highly_amused:

It's another nod towards the any race markets at FM advised.

I've just checked and I commented at the time saying I'd backed any race too but had mentioned it in the stayers.

You create your own luck though...

My book looks a lot like yours RC ;)
 
The times seem to back up the performance, even with the underperformance of Rocky's Treasure.

On reflection I think it's more likely that OK Corral also runs in the RSA than Nicky switches Santini, given his dislike for the race.
 
I would think Nicky will do what JP tells him
 
Yeah Nicky will think I can't run the 3/1 fav in this race because I have a bad record in it. I'll run it in the same race as my fav novice chaser instead :devilish:

Owner, trainer, jockey all want the same. Ok Corral in the 4 miler.

Until Barry pipes up. :highly_amused:
 
Barry is the employee not the employer.

He'll do as he's told without rocking the boat.

In my opinion.
 
Surely ok corral goes here, after the run at the weekend and the planning... JP wants winners and I’m sure he has put his money where his mouth is prior to getting derek on board at the weekend

You misunderstand me.

I think that Santini goes RSA, OK Corral goes 4-miler, BUT if there was to be a switcheroo, I could only see a scenario where OC joins Santini in the RSA, rather than them both change targets.
