He opened at a general 5/2 yesterday evening.

If Andy dufresne cant beat him, he may aswell run in the martin pipe.
He Shouldn't have much bother here. On the form of his last run, where I personally think he ran his race.

Opened around 10's when entries first announced and backed in at all rates.

That's antepost. Nobody cares about that in relation to a horses chances, win only on the day.

Im of the view if they backed him before they knew full declarations then they ain't scared of anything. Doesn't look like they've backed anything today. Money could come late again. Be interesting to see.
 
Not sure it's the best discussion the forum has ever witnessed (but I've been in some pearlers myself, so not knocking it)
But the money for Guinness in the week was probably not substantial and on the back of a few people knowing he was a definite runner.

He was 10/1>8/1 in the antes right?
 
I think captain Guiness might just give Andy D something to think about. it was his first run last time out and he showed a nice turn of foot and he jumped really well. Looked as though he was going to give blackbow something to think about who is a pretty decent animal himself.

It's worth noting blackbox had already had a pipe opener before that race so was fit enough and he was hammered in the betting that day so was clearly fancied.....it will be an interesting to see who comes out on top today.

Opening show at 5-day decs, went quickly, but was 14/1.
 
Good learning race for both those then, and will both come on for that.
Hard to say if they're good enough though.
Likeable from both for different reasons.
 
Did well to dig deep and win that but can’t see him winning this, going to cash for small profit.

The second definitely best horse in the race imo, if cg can settle he could be a big player!

Yeah not quite sure what to make of that myself. Either two very nice types, or two not quite good enough for this. Gut feeling is probably the former.

I do think AD hurdles as well as any novice Ive seen all season though.

Nice boost for Latest Exhibition.
 
I fancy Blackbow to win the Supreme Hurdle. He would have won by 5 L from Captain Guinness . I expect a further 8lb improvement in fitness as most of Willies have needed their run. Get on at 33/1.
