Chancing Apache Peak at Naas today with Quiryn in the Champion Bumper.
 
I really like Un Sens A La Vie but have a feeling the ground might find him out today.
On the plus side he may be given an easy time of it, finish out the back, lose a couple of pound and come back and win the County at a price….

He's probably had a tough enough race there. But pushed to 33s NRNB for the County with B365 and could be given another chance on better ground.

As for that Trixie, think I got about a 10% boost on just taking the OPS single :LOL:
 
Maybe a bit late to this one, but may play the big westerner in the BA with JDG in the mares. If lossie defects from the CH (hope not but I’m heavily invested in CH) could turn out ok.
 
The Comeback Kids....

Kopek & Final Demand @ 14/1

Kopek & Final Demand @ 14/1
I (and I presume others) have that same double at 98/1 with Sky from February last year, haunting really. I could see Kopek winning, but I think the 25 Turners form doesn't hold up and backing horses who ran like Final Demand did LTO in G1s at the festival is a road to the poor house

….i’ve had to do Olly Murphy related double on a couple I’ve noted since his early season stable tour.

American Mike has a number of entries, but Murphy mentioned Kim Muir a while ago. He mentioned the Pertemps for Act of Authority but now saying they’re having another tilt at MP after finishing 2nd to a good one last season;

American Mike (Kim Muir)
Act of Authority (MP)

577-1 NRNB 365.
 
Bit bored on a rainy afternoon..

The Danny Mullins 'Mum and Dad' EW double.

Blaze The Way Ultima 25/1 NRNB
Letos Pertemps 20/1 NRNB

Blaze The Way looked very strong at Cheltenham in December. Danny said afterwards that it had been plotted since the summer. Given 146 in the National weights so NHC is out the equation. Still quite unexposed over staying chases so could be some juice left in the mark. Struggling to see a 'Myretown' in this year's race and can see him going close, although the non-Irish trained winner stat looms over the win part of the bet.

Letos been clearly plotted for this race. Qualified, mark-minded, ran off 131, performance figure of 132, unlikely to get much additional tax next week, Could well have a chunk in hand.

I’d be hoping Letos gets bugger all ‘tax’ to his 131 rating as he finished stone last against Ill Sort That, so why wouldn’t his Carlisle BHA rating stand?

Should get 132 as that’s how they assessed him in the qualifier. Not guaranteed though as hasn’t raced/entered in UK since then.

Arguably missed the boat on this and may have been mentioned at fancier prices but the Arkle 25 formline...

Majborough - Champion Chase
Jango Baie - Gold Cup
Only By Night - Mares Chase


Probably have to play the treble with L'eau Du Sud as well to be honest.

Cover for the Marine National bets as well 😂

I'm against Final Demand but how is the Turners weak form?

The New Lion Champion Hurdle fav
The Yellow Clay had a hard race on heavy first run
Potters Charm rated 154
Kappa Jy Pyke G3 winner
Sixmilebridge G1 winner
Kaid d'Aauthie G1 winner
 
I don’t think the Turners was weak, just that (like most years) the winner and placed horses can be overhyped
this is probably a fairer statement

Slade Steel / Ballyburn double as a throwback to that incredible bumper in 2023.

For the life of me I'm trying to remember what has happened to Dancing City, I've got a feeling he's passed away but I can't see any articles anywhere and it's not in the OFTS thread.

Fatally injured , R.i.p. Dancing City.
 
Thanks Big Chaang, I checked the comments from the race and it didn't mention it whereas they usually do.

A shame for sure.
