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

Yeah, very clever. Like that.

Not bold enough to do it myself but it's very clever.
 
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.

Agreed :untroubled:
 
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.

Haha, a clever little angle. Like that.

How about an owners each way double? Rouge Vif for CC and Itchy Feet for Stayers both 20 nrnb.
well i like it anyway!!

Would have a chance if Rouge Vif got his ground?
 
Not sure if this is of any interest but I’ve covered blue Lord (supreme) and Appreciate it (ballymore) @ 167/1 on hills.

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?!?!

I know theres been a lot of talk on here for Not that fuisse but would you be confident that he'd get in? obviously money back anyway.. Just think more horses are coming this way this year.

Not really given it much thought.
May not get in, may go a different race, may get injured..

I do a few of these “fun” bets for small stakes (the “Bob’s “ will be another) and it won’t really affect by P&L (unless they come in :triumphant:)

Gaillard Du Mesnil and Stattler
Maybe sneak Appreciate It in...


Mullins clean sweep
226/1?

Go on then.

Done these three in a trixie back on 6th Jan, I added it to my diary on post 1 but forgot to write about the bet anywhere, so it doesn't count :highly_amused:

That said, the treble pays 590.5/1 from back then (5/2, 12/1 & 12/1) so I won't care too much :victorious:

Must remember to post more on the specific threads, I get too caught up in keeping my diary up to bloody date!

what about honeysuckle CH/ronald pump stayers?

based on what we saw today honey is top class so to be closing like he did ronald pump should be going close in stayers

I'd need to watch the race again but my impressions at the time were that ronald pump had stepped up

Def :adoration:.....already had various doubles of these, but rude not to add a treble

Monkfish (RSA) and Latest Exhibition (NHC) at 18/1 NRNB looks a decent bet if Monkfish beats him again today.

Monkfish likely to shorten in price and task would obviously become a lot easier if LE goes elsewhere.

A third defeat is likely to make connections think about not taking him on for a fourth time. LE would arguably have the strongest form going into the NHC (along with Galvin) assuming Royal Pagaille heads to Gold Cup.

Thank you, just done that one.
 
I think honeysuckle looked a totally different horse to the one that beat ronald pump but if taking the form literally he's got a big chance.
