I think most people are expecting Down Memory Lane to be Ballymore bound but the vibes seem strong and while he's 16s for the Supreme I think you'd be foolish not to have a small cover (if you're a Ballymore backer).
It's still so early in the piece...

Agree. Could go either way. He's one I'm very happy to be on TWAR. The race next week will tell all.

Yep
He was one I did very early for the Ballymore but have since covered the Supreme.
Done the same with Firefox and also covered Kevs doubles.
Think they are both big players in their chosen race
 
….this has probably been mentioned but a French double;

Ile est Francais (Turn) & Theleme (Stay) 151-1 Lads boost
Ile est Francais (BANC) &’Theleme (Stay) 92-1

Whichever tickles your fancy.

July flower in the mares novice too for a big treble
 
I'd be wary of Ile est Francais running at the festival even if he were to win easily at Kempton. His ultimate target this season is the French GC and they may prefer an 'easier' route to that after his Xmas run. Did not think connections have mentioned going to the Festival have they ??
 
Ideal result for me in the Future Champion's would be Daddy Long Legs beating a staying on Down Memory lane. So with that in mind have gone with…..

DLL (Supreme)
DML (Ballymore)

Boosted to 326/1 with Hills. Was going to use the MGM double boost to take it too 500/1, but it exceeded the 1k winnings limit!

The Gaelic Warrior Irish Arkle chat seemed quite popular so I'm thinking there's a Cheltenham related double potential from it.

Gaelic is top priced 12s for the Arkle. And opens up a big gap in the Turners market... But for what. Facile Vega somewhat related.

Beating Marine National in the Irish Arkle and pushing him up in trip I considered but there's no value in.


Indiana Dream is my other thought but think I was on my own liking him for the Turners.

But any Turners selection you fancy makes a bit of sense of you're taking out the 5/4 fav.

Agree - did the double with Fact to File myself after (I think?) Willie name checked the Turners for him yesterday
 
90/1 for Captain Teague today and Minella Missile for the Albert Bartlett might interest some
Although Willmount probably wins

The chat in the novice hurdles thread earlier convinced me that an each way double with The Jukebox Man in the Challow and Gidleigh Park in the Ballymore is a good idea :tears_of_joy:

E/w part hopefully gets a good run in march and yields a smaalll profit for you

I’m thinking of doubling Bob (today) and Irish Point (Stayers). If Bob wins, he’s surely done enough to take the mantle on for the Aintree Hurdle. Which frees up Irish Point to have a shot at the Stayers. If not, then I suspect Irish Point may be kept for Aintree.

Price for Irish Point unlikely to be affected following the result of the Relkeel, so you could get 21.5/1 by taking the Superboost (365) and 13/2 for IP with Skybet.

Maybe better to use Hills EE. Irish Point is 4/1 NRMB which is very good imo.

wouldnt be any shorter than that on the day provided the horses that are expected to turn up will?

Teahupoo
Theleme
Impaire et passe
Sir Gerhard
Crambo

Barring injuries etc, this could be a race where you can get some proper horses at very nice odds.
 
That's not the point though Darlo. If he doesn't run then money back. 4/1 including that option is brilliant.

IEP Stayers ???!!!!

What I'm saying is you'll get 4/1 on the day for him if he turns up, IF the above all turn up, which is very likely barring injury obviously.

Billy kindly told us Stayers was on the radar in the summer if Champ hdle route doesn't go to plan.
