Mossback was absolutely tanking too. I was sure he was going to win last year. Watching it live.
 
Stating the obvious on mr whipped but if anyone else fancies him like myself. You want to be taking the bookmakers odds with cashout. Until confirmed officially. Hes 33s with pp or 25s with 365. As far as im aware he does go here.

....35-1 Ladbrokes price boost, no cash-out.
 
"Ballyward shaped as though the National Hunt Chase test at the Festival would suit when he won the Naas Racecourse Business Club Novice Chase on Sunday.

He is a strong stayer and the further he goes in a race, the better it seems to suit him.

Although he does not have as much experience compared to previous winners of the National Hunt Chase, he may have another run and we will get as much schooling into him as we can before March.

His style of running suggests four miles will suit him and he was a good fourth in the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at the Festival last year where Santini and Ok Corral finished just in front of him, so he had strong form over hurdles and seems to have transferred that over to fences"

Nicky Henderson, trainer of Santini, On The Blind Side, Ok Corral and Mr Whipped
Everything’s fine with Santini, and he'll be running at Ascot in a couple of weeks. On The Blind Side has come out of his win at Kempton with no cause for concern. Ok Corral may or may not run on Saturday, but he's fine and will be going for the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham. Whether Mister Whipped will be at the festival or not I don’t know. He did have a bit of an issue after his last run, but we're back in action at home.

Thanks Monkfish.
 
Added HARDLINE at 46.0 in case this turns out to be the one Elliott and Giggy throw at this. Ran a strange race today

Think you might be onto something here. Was dropping out the TV at one stage but then came there with plenty all of a sudden. Watching back his races he always seems to have plenty left at the end of his races. Could have the class and stamina to stay the trip and also the speed you also need at the business end of the race when it often turns into a bit of a sprint.

Went into todays race off 150 which is the kind of mark you'll need here. Think it's still up in the air who the Elliott / Codd runner will be and you know GE will probably have more than 1 in the race but think he could be a player after today for sure. Elliott ran Dounikos in the Flogas last year with the 4 miler in mind

Very tempted to add at 33/1. Only 8s NRNB and 20s Bet365
 
Increasingly suspicious about the OK Corral target
