PERTEMPS NETWORK FINAL Handicap Hurdle

Just backed him
was gonna wait as expected him to not win tomorrow and wondered if price would drift or at least hold
but the money that’s come made me do it now
 
I reckon scooby tipped him
 
I told myself I'd wait until NRNB for all handicaps but I'm going to make an exception.......
 
I don't think he'll win tomorrow. Surely he'll drift if he doesn't??

I’m sure they don’t want to win tomorrow
I thought he might drift a touch
but on the flip side he’d be qualified and the bookies aren’t that daft, so he shouldn’t really change much.
I’ll be annoyed if 1st 2nd or 7th
 
What am I missing re Sire du Berlais ?
Runner up in Stayers when rated 160, regardless of what he does tomorrow I would have thought he’ll be 162/163 should he come here.
Can he really win off that ?
Isn’t it more likely Elliott has something else (or multiple options) around 145 and by having SDB in the race they get to race here off about 10:10 ?

He’s 158 OR
 
And I thought same 2 years back
and lost out on shitloads when he nutted storyteller
 
:highly_amused: it’ll be abandoned for frost anyway
 
Anyone like Alaphilippe for this? Lack of a run since the Bartlett is a concern but I'd him earmarked for the Stayers since that run. I think it'd be too sharp to send a second season hurdler into the stayers after just one run so surely this is the aim?
 
It’s a handicap tomorrow and he’s 158 on ATR and RP

Mind boggling piece of handicapping when the BHA are looking at all options available to ensure UK horses are more competitive come March…
 
in my head this race tomorrow finishes like the jonbon last race started. After you....nooo after you!
