Request-a-Bets (was 'Sky Bets' thread)

Au Fleuron 33/1 to win the Martin Pipe is one within this, could be Ballymore i know but ive taken that 33/1 just incase he gets beaten next time when up in grade.
 
Don't know if this is a new one but was looking through skybet and found Bob Olinger (AR), Ferny Hollow (AR) & Flooring Porter (SH) all to win @ 150/1. Seems like a fair priced one to me. If I've done my maths right taking Flooring Porter as 11-1 (best price with 365) your getting the equivalent of 6-4 BO and 4-1 FH. Obviously the biggest risk would be that they line up on the same race.

The 5/6 for Ireland to have 18 or more winners looks a bit of a gift? Can someone put forward a compelling case to talk me out of it please...

….worth keeping an eye on Sky over the next 24 hours or so. Last week they added a ‘Road to Cheltenham’ section with a number of offers based on that weekends winners.

I do fare few rabs with sky but tend to avoid the ones where there's is a potential clash like this one with ferny/bob in the marsh a possibility..

Can be worth a nice switcheroo cover though - I think many people took the 200/1 Appreciate It/Bob Ollinger AR RAB last year (i did it in case AI went up in trip LOL)

Yeah I'm less optimistic now, but I thought it was a cracking bet at 200/1 when I was adamant ferny would to to the arkle!

Be careful as it sounds like he'll need plenty of rain to run. Maybe worth waiting until the day ?

They seem more cautious about the ground for Chris's Dream's participation than EDR's based on articles today. Newbury seem pretty confident it wont be any quicker than good-soft.

"It seems a great idea for him and Chris's Dream. There's a bit of concern in terms of the ground. Both would probably prefer more ease in the ground, but we'll see."
Sounds like some concern for both based on above. Eklat has never ran on anything other than very soft hadn't he ? Not to say he can't go on quicker though.
 
Full quote in RP says that owner mentioned race in Spring because he's based here so I'd be fairly confident Eklat runs :indecisiveness:

Now put up the rest of Henrys comments... they're definitely more fussed about it for CD.
EDR ran on G-S at Cheltenham and made his debut on yielding to soft, which is more or less the same thing.
 
Rain forecast for Friday and all day Saturday which is good news for Eklat ( 1 Irish win in last 40 years ) but not us that are going.....:uncomfortableness:
