Ah, yes. Okay - good I suppose.
 
Penhill as low as 9/2 now with PP which is good to see.

Nice that he's short with them nonetheless!

Interested in why you think this? There’s a general opinion that Betfair/PP traders are crystal ball readers that always know the best horse in a race.

I think the value they provide is with the horses (largely novice, largely Irish) that have undecided targets in the ante-post markets, and when a target is confirmed they are often the first to hear and cut appropriately. You could also make the case, where for example Mullins has two horses in a race, who the yard generally prefer.

Penhills target is confirmed, he’s probably not even done any serious work yet, the fact they are shortest in the market says nothing but NRNB and a trader view to me.
 
As I've already backed him and taken a position, I would rather see him shorter than go out in price?

If they'd had wind he wasn't right or there were any negative, he wouldn't have shortened.

I only meant its nice, not particularly informative or useful, but nice to be beating SP by more than I was this time yesterday.

I think that explains it
 
Tiger roll 5/1
Penhill 8/1
Double happy with that at the min
 
Bit suprised with Mullins’ usual scatter gun entry approach he hasn’t entered Laurina in this
 
Pretty much as I hoped and assumed when backing any race.
]Supasundae[/goes for the CH if it's soft ground. Goes here if it isn't.

According to the trainer.
 
Lil Rockerfeller now being aimed here as confirmed going back over hurdles for remainder of season.

Lil Overratedfeller...

I think he's in my least favourite 'top 10'
 
To be honest it is not a horse I find myself ever backing for one reason or another. So guess I maybe have the same view
 
The standout 36/1 is enough to have a little look at him, as he's previously placed in the race ... but I'm not interested
 
My only 2 bets in this race to date are Penhill & Paisley Park
 
Trying to find some value and there could be some in Coquin Mans. He has run well over any distance from 2 to 3 miles and acts on most going and with a 158 rating and a lightly raced 7-year old the 33/1 with Hills or 20/1 NRNB look appealing. He's entered in the Galmoy and does run well fresh (unbeaten on his seasonal reappearances and after 60+ day break) so expect the price to contract if he wins on Thursday.
