Where do we think Ibleo is likely to go? Plate or GA?

The related form with Sky Pirate makes an interesting double if we think they go separate ways.

Whats the NRNB price on them big man

15lb higher than his defeat on reappearance.
I actually think he is one that suffers from the Grand Annual switch to the Old Course as he is a strong running 2 miler and the flag to line gallop on the New course would be perfect, 21f on the New Course in the Plate could well be beyond him...

Only checked PP here but

Sky Pirate - GA - 6/1
Ibleo - Plate - 14/1

104/1 double

Venetia loves throwing them at the Plate with good success in the main, doesn't she? Saying that, running Cepage in the Ultima when quite literally everything pointed towards him having a very good shot at the Plate last year was a horror decision.

Runners in the Grand Annual since 2010:

Bright New Dawn (2018 - 10th @ 66/1), Brick Red (2015 - UR @ 25/1), Dare Me (2014 - 7th @ 14/1) Drumshambo (2014 - 13th @ 40/1 & 2013 - 4th @ 20/1), Renard (2013 - 7th @ 25/1).
Did win it in 2000 with Samakaan who went off 9/2 fav and 3rd in 2004 with Reiziger @ 33/1.
 
With the Irish Champion Hurdle coming up.......it wouldn't be the greatest shock if Sharjah picked off Honeysuckle so...
Sharjah Champion Hurdle @ 9s x Honeysuckle Mares Hurdle @ 5/2
Double gives 34/1 with Hills.

Mark might be fucked but fuck it... Run wild fred KM 10/1 and Coko Beach NHC 14/1 ew double
 
Ibleo (Brown Plate) and Sky Pirate (Grand Annual) in a e/w related double?

Perhaps a step up brings out more improvement?
Sky Pirate must have a bit in hand still....




Annoying little twits both of them :highly_amused:


104/1 NRNB

188/1 with 365

Best price 207/1 (Boyle)



I'd prefer the NRNB.

Not the most original and even worse they are dirty trebles but I placed the following this evening:

Destinys Child: Honey CH, Consertiesta MH & Benie MC treble

The Red Devil’s - Envoi Marsh, Sir Gerhard Bumper & Quilioux Triumph

The Lisp: Shiskin Arkle, Sir Gerhard Bumper and Saint Sam Boodles
 
Copying and pasting this here as (quite rightly) my diary doesn't get much traffic :biggrin-new::biggrin-new:


Just added a "Dan Skelton, handicap plot, bumpers for jumpers, NRNB 5 places EW Double" :cheerful:

With Paddy Power
Not That Fuisse - Grand Annual @ 25/1 - 5 places NRNB
Proschema - County Hurdle @ 20/1 - 5 places NRNB

545/1
0.5 pts EW
288 pt potential return

What could possibly go wrong?!?!

Isn’t Cadzand the Skelton County plot ?
 
Cadzand has been talked about as the more obvious one, but he was on Road to Cheltenham the other week and Proschema was mentioned and he seemed impressed that the viewer had spotted that.

There are risks (to the overall double) that the ground won't be "good" enough, but as NRNB, if nether runs - it's just a healthy EW single - 5 places

Not huge stakes, so not one I'll lose sleep over, but running both yesterday on the AW was a fair indication that he wants to keep them fit, whilst maintaining their marks.

Targets for both are pretty clear as well :encouragement:
 
I've backed.... Not that Fuisse for the Brown Plate @ 40-1 , 2,6,1,2 over 2mile 3 f , 2mile 4 f.
And included in the Forum Yankee - january for the G.A . too .
 
Bit leftfield this one :untroubled: but I'm loving the 5/2 for Gaillard to win on Saturday so why not double it up with Barbados Bucks in the Albert Bartlett given that nearly all the other ones at the head of that market will just have been beaten behind Gaillard.
Bet365 have 5/2 and 14/1 so over 50s for the double.

For those who think Honeysuckle gets turned over this weekend, Sharjah (or one of the others) and Honeysuckle (Mares) could be a decent play.
