Santini matched at 9.0.

Ok Corral as short as 15.5 from 50.0 earlier. Switch possible.
 
Not sure why everyone assumes that even if Nicky wanted OK Corral to swap that’s what would happen considering this seems to be a long term JP plan I would be surprised. No impact to me either way just seems unlikely

i'd agree with that, just punters hedging

Agreed, and Delta Work and Topofthegame are stronger opponents than are in the NH Chase so not sure why they would want to switch.
 
Some seasons the form of the 4 miler works out better than the RSA.

I'm assuming you hold the RSA in higher esteem than the 4 miler.... but both equal 1 festival win so I'm not sure the trainer would move the horse just so he can say he's had an RSA winner.

Not his call to do so anyway though

Leaving aside race titles if you have form to be very competitive at three miles and are relatively unexposed at that trip there is no logical reason to be running four miles.

People only jumped on the four mile bandwagon because they saw O'Connor booked at Warwick, not because they saw it as a good option for the horse.
 
I’ve been told by a source that Santini work yesterday at Newbury yesterday was unsatisfactory so won’t run

I am sure Henderson was interviewed at Huntingdon and didn't say anything negative.
 
In which case Henderson has completely put punters away? He discussed the work afterwards (might have been on luck on Sunday?) there isn’t a more rancid stable for getting involved on the exchanges before news is revealed

As others have said, there is no way the green and gold will change their long term plan a week before, because a horse that is completely unconnected to them is out.

Added to that the Warwick form hasn't worked out at all.
 
I echo the sentiments regarding the henderson yard and also can’t see Ok Corral being rerouted
 
Hendo on the panel for the preview night tonight so it’ll be interesting if he says anything
 
some confusion about Ok Corrals target might get him out to a backable price for connections. the mcmanus's might not need the money but they do enjoy a bet. :devilish:

...bits of blue for him on Oddschecker for the NH Chase.
 
This would stamp off an ugly 10 days for me.

Cilaos Emery, Le Richebourg, Waiting Patiently, Vinndication.... Santini?
 
Rememeber when the Mullins yard was investigated about Faugheen being layed before it was announced he was injured; how often do we find out about one of Henderson’s on Betfair first and nothing happens to the yard
 
Santini coming back in on the exchanges now :highly_amused:
