Cheers Liam. Expected a little bigger, especially seeing as they themselves are 10/1 and 14/1 for the 2 respective races.
Think he'll be a horse I hold off on for now but if the vibes are he'll make the festival, especially if it's the Neptune i'll likely be backing him
 
With watching the racing yesterday I thought some horses would struggle to get up Cheltenham hill. But Neon Wolf was the only one I could see get up it easy. I also thought this would be his distance as well. Not had a big bet on him only £7.50 ew so far.
 
I think he will turn up at the festival but wouldn't take 5/1. Especially when NRNB for the Supreme.

Won easily and Elgin was a solid (if not impressive) yardstick. Personally I'd go Supreme though!
 
Been reading the forum for a while and thought I'd finally sign up and join the discussion!

One horse that has caught my eye this season is Kimberlite Candy. I've seen he has entries in the Neptune trial at Cheltenham and the Albert Bartlett trial at Doncaster this Saturday. If he runs his race I feel he could be a serious player come March what ever race he turns up in!
 
Neon getting smashed in for this despite Fry saying might not run.... I've backed this beast its last 3 runs and been well backed on all of them. Wouldn't surprise me if owners have said/asked him say this so they can smash into it themselves first
 
Welcome Mills

All eyes on Chelt this Sat and there's a danger the Donny card is ignored, dangerous....
 
Welcome Mills - nice to get the lurkers posting :encouragement:
 
Invitation Only still fairly strong in this.. More 10/1 than 12s. Hoping the ground will make the difference and this tickets still alive
 
Mullins in the RP a couple of days ago touched on IO:

I'm much much happier with Invitation Only now and he seems to be coming back to himself. We were dissapointed with him at Navan but he worked this week and I was much happier. He's certainly a possible for the Neptune, as is Saturnas

Of all the horses in the Neptune, IO is the one that I think is over priced. Entered at Leopardstown on Sunday over 2m 4f.
 
Agree about Invitation Only. That last race might have made a man of him and I really believe better ground will be the key to him.

Finians Oscar aside, nothing has looked superstar and IO might be a good in the mix- we will see.
 
I'd fancy Neon Wolf or Finian's Oscar to beat Invitation Only in the Neptune.

My gut feeling is that the UK horses have the edge in this race.... I will be very interested in Saturnas though... however it does strike me as a negative that there isn't a strong Irish fancy... we've gotten so used to a hotpot in this (and the Supreme) that I think we will end up with an artificial one, who is only there because it is now deemed "the norm"....
 
Lets Dance for this or Mares ?
 
I was about to post that Mayo, its a tough call
 
Albert Bartlett also a possibility, and the race I'd be interested in her for
 
Rich Ricci has just said Neptune or AB... so probably the mares haha :highly_amused:
 
I think they have Augusta Kate, Invitation Only or Saturnas for the Neptune so Let's Dance for AB would be more likely. (They have VVM and Limini for Mares and Camila De Cotte for Mares Novice) .... Obviously Ricci has nothing exciting in the Neptune but unlikely to get Ruby so might as well have Ruby on in the AB?
 
Rich put the AB forward as the most likely race in his interview on ATR. Said Neptune a possibility but AB was the one he was most strong on. Don't think it will be the mares novice, the step up in trip has suited her well.
I didn't see Willies interview but I see on another thread hes stronger on the Neptune.
