Neptune Novices Hurdle 2017

I've just doubled Let's Dance and Airlie Beach. I really hope this is where let's Dance ends up.

Concur - have just done this double myself cos I feel LD is ripe for the Neptune, RIPE
 
Anyone know what time the declarations are out today? I see Invitation Only is at 15s on the exchange now. Either words out he runs or its just traders edging on side of caution ?
 
Confirmations close at noon.
 
Monalee still available at 23s on the exchanges, with GE having confirmed Death Duty goes to the Albert Bartlett and HDB saying he'll avoid Death Duty like the plague with this one. That's a very nice price for this fella each way. Unless someone has said something to the contrary...
 
I think HdB has been saying he will take DD on more recently SMB
 
Neon Wolf could be odds on...

Odds on to be odds on now?

I expected NW to get backed anyway, I can't see Bacardys shortening too much either (after the adjustment that'll happen now)...

Let's Dance the only potential shorter?
 
What do we think will be Neon Wolf's price in the morning of race? I was hoping for 2/1!:confused:
 
Profile was looking shaky but at 25/1 would have liked a run for my money.

Not sure what is going downhill faster, Tizzard's season or my ante-post bets?

We're all feeling it kb, thought last year was bad enough

I think shorter .... the money came LTO in a huge way and I can't see an almighty Irish plunge. The depth isn't huge.

Bacardys is solid but isn't going to be a big gamble?
 
Is NW going to run? Trainer clearly stated they will only run if ground is soft. It is going to be good come Wednesday. Would think he would run on Tuesday if anything, but I do have my doubts. Nightmare of a race now for me,
 
There doesn't look too be any rain forecast and no watering planned. I'd be worried about the ground for him and it wouldn't surprise me if they bypassed Cheltenham. Harry Fry has alluded to skipping Cheltenham in the past.
 
Agree, dam shame, but trying to find something that is actually going to run......
 
Neon Wolf CONFIRMED for this race
 
If they judge the ground to be too fast on the day they may still pull NW, and you would have to ask if he doesn't act on it, and they do run, is he a poor fav, worst still he could get injured, have to consider the possibility that he won't run at all
