I'd say it's on Sky's fault mate, I interpreted it exactly the same way. If it happens to come in with multiple winners, it's certainly one I'd be challenging with them!

Galvin to win XC and the Grand National is 80/1 with Ladbrokes.
 
For Bob O and Honeysuckle fans. Bet Victor offering them to remain unbeaten this season at 12s for BobO and 7s for Honeysuckle.

Ladbrokes have Galvin to win the XC and Grand National at 80s under their specials for those interested. 100s with boost

Considering he's likely to spend all but Cheltenham going off at odds on, that seems decent to me?

Just realised I risk getting pelters for this, wasn't Shishkin 100/1 to go unbeaten last season or have I made that up?!

On BetVictor to go unbeaten Shishkin is 7/2, Honeysuckle 7/1, Appreciate It 8/1, Kilcruit 12/1 and Bob Olinger 12/1, so in the context of that and the prices Bob is likely to go off at all season, it seems decent... relatively speaking.

LOL

there’s no way this forum would have missed out of 100/1 for Shishkin to go unbeaten last season lol

may have been Shishkin and Envoi/monkfish to go unbeaten, may for 2 seasons, and for Native River to win the champ hurdle, and to top it off, mad moose to start a race

That's what I was thinking :highly_amused: I'm sure there was some massive price for a decent looking unbeaten season thing though, maybe a double.

Shishkin and Envoi Allen to remain unbeaten was 33/1. I backed it 23rd November, don't know if that's the one you were thinking of?
 
Skybet seem to have I Am Maximus (SNH), Boothill (A) and Gerri Colombe (BNH) all to place at 250-1. This seems decent unless I've missed some news about likely Boothill target.

There isn't a huge amount of info around about Boothill that I can see. Not much recent stuff on twitter except a short vid of him on the gallops (https://twitter.com/HarryFryRacing1/...57002413559811) and an RP journo seemingly on a yard visit referring to him as a novice chase prospect (https://twitter.com/JamesBurnRP/stat...83790455435264). Both Jumpers To Follow and One Jump Ahead suggest he'll probably go chasing but that he's on a very handy mark to exploit a few early season handicaps over hurdles. There's no actual trainer quotes or such like. I'm a sucker for bets like this but Harry Fry has only ever actually had one Arkle runner (Rock On Ruby, a 52l 8th in 2014) which is a little bit off-putting before we even get to the Irish challenge. Still, wouldn't want to talk anyone out of 250/1 jobbies like this, we all know what we're getting into and there's far, far worse RABs!

Ye it was Shiskin and Envoi to go unbeaten for the whole season 100/1 when I backed it.

Todays is: Appreciate It unbeaten 21/22 (at least 3 runs), Joe Tizzard to train a Chelt Festival winner, Shewearsitwell to place in the Mares Hurdle - 66/1.

Interesting that Alex Hammond is part of the Closutton racing club and specifically puts the Mares Hurdle in this one (rather than any race/Champion Hurdle). Very positive for my (and several other people on here's) antepost position on her! :cool:
