October Forum Yankee

[Middle_Of_March]

No theme for this one unlike the previous few.

Simply.. a pre-season yankee of four horses for the festival

 

[Eggs]

....Malone Road 14-1 (Supreme) and Envoi Allen 8-1 (Ballymore) seem very popular on here for starters.

 

[BigChaang]

Bump ...... Battle over Doyen - r.s.a. maybe ??.

 

[voodoo child]

Don Poli...I mean Don Cossack...I mean Battleoverdoyen RSA.

 

[Saxon Warrior]

Battleoverdoyen RSA at 20/1
Brewinupastorm JLT at 20/1 or higher in a place

Both very good novice hurdlers, both could improve for a season chasing and both have been out this season and won, when comments suggest they both needed the race.

 

[Middle_Of_March]

I’m looking at horses we haven’t already put in a yankee so far so Battleoverdoyen and Brewinupastorm would fit the bill and are nice enough prices.

 

[Saxon Warrior]

Longshots with the potential to be shorties.

 

[Anay Turge]

Do we think adding Champagne Classic as there 3rd horse is a good shout? Plenty of positives taken from today, and with only a couple days of October left, I can’t think of anything better for this month.

I agree. NH Chase

Thyme Hill is still a backable price for the ballymore, 25-1 sky.
he might go bartlett but you'd think ballymore.
Definitely got the potential to shorten as unlikely to face any Irish before March.
Reckon we'll see him again at cheltenham in November, in the ballymore trial.

we've already seen him win a graded race on debut against reasonable opposition.
And he wasn't too far behind the leading players in the market as a bumper horse.

 

[Quevega]

In fact I'm gonna go and back him now.

[Middle_Of_March]

I’d like to put forward Buveur D’Air here.

Rock solid for multiples at 6/1

 

[Lobos]

Laurina JLT and Gypsy Island Novice Mares.

 

[TigerRolllllll]

O'Leary due a good one before he signs off...

Champagne Classic - NH
Tiger (obviously)
BattleoverDoyen - RSA
Delta Work - GC

 

[Middle_Of_March]

I think the options based on the threads and discussion in the last month.. the prime candidates are:

Champagne Classic - NH Chase
Battleoverdoyen - RSA
Laurina - JLT or Brewinupastorm - JLT
Gypsy Island - Mares Novice
Buveur D’Air - Champion Hurdle

 

[ryanh97]

My choices would be CC, BoD and BvD. The fourth selection I'm happy with whatever

 

[Kevloaf]

Battleoverdoyen - RSA
Laurina - JLT or Brewinupastorm - JLT

Ignore the JLT would be my tenative vote.

 

[Middle_Of_March]

Ignore the JLT would be my tenative vote.

That’s exactly my thoughts too

 

[Deleted member 4957]

Battleoverdoyen 12/1 Sky, brutal price but only option available.
Still many bookies who aren’t pricing up NHChase, mares novice etc
