The Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle

Is it?? Top 3 in the Triumph betting all unbeaten when standing up with their own fan clubs & stop clock watchers....personally think it’s not that open although I hope Solo & Mind The Crack come into over the next week or so.

I think Boodles will be 145-128 or something close to this like in previous years

If I had a horse on 140+ and I thought he was well handicapped to win the Boodles, I'd be running in the Triumph this year.
 
Over to the UK handicapper! 127 + a likely 4 or 5 should be fine though

Given the connections I don't think they'll take the chance not to bump him up. If they leave him on 127 and he squeezes in the bottom they could have made a mistake.

Of course, the other option is that he's not that good and won't win even if he got in off 117!

Not knocking that view, I just don’t see it as being any more open than the last few years....appreciate SE last year could have been stones better if he’d not broken down.

If I owned Allmankind I think I’d let him bolt off in the CH & see if that dolop could catch him to be honest!! Surprised they’re not considering it with 1 of these juveniles as a wild swing...

Yeah true Jackie. As i said before, would seem daft if they bumped some horses as much as 12lbs and gave this fella nothing. Just my pocket talking / worrying I suppose!
 
...I do like Repetitio for this and wonder if he’d be more popular with a high-profile trainer.

3rd some way behind Allmankind in the Triumph Hurdle trial, but ahead of Nordano. It then came out and won, beating a couple who subsequently contested the Betfair Hurdle.

Repetitio has been backed in the last few weeks but is still a decent price (16-1 nrnb with Sky, only 14s with Hills).

Agree! Must geta llittle UK rise. Really looking forward to seeing it run should it get in (which it should) - its impossible to quantify its mark but you would like to think its got a fair bit in hand!!
 
Looking at Aramax’s form and I’m really struggling to see what makes him 6/1?? Have I missed something...

He’s a pretty slick jumper and will go there with lots of experience. Hopefully that experience does not equate to him being exposed but rather they’ve had the handbrake on up until now.
 
Just seen Nicholls has a french entry here. Hitman @33's. Could be an Aux Ptits soin type shout!
 
Oh yeah Aux Ptits Soin was coral cup. Apologies. Yeah Diego Du Charmil. No harm in 33/1 NRNB :encouragement:

....won impressively last month in France, Scooby would have an idea of the form and perhaps any vibes coming from Nicholls.
 
Predictable on my part no doubt; but when 365 are standout price, it's NRNB, with cashout available, I will usually chance it...
So Hitman has been added.
 
Pasley declared again Sunday, wins and comes here surely...

Won same race as Band of Outlaws, then also The trainer and owner effect of Elliott and JP? Very short and currently trying to find something in the market. The other elliott horse it beat in that race was actually fav on the dsy and I'd dare say Davy picked it over Aramax Aramax the choice?. Trying to work it out if worth considering. (Sorry if someone is already on this one already)

RECENT REVELATIONS 20/1
 
Anyone got an idea on French form? After putting up Hitman the other day (mainly just due to Nicholls leaving it entered). I don't have a lcue on french form so would be nice to know if its form is any good :encouragement:watched its two races on attheraces and first one it was well clear then got eased due to a dodgy jump then second time won well. Thats all I know

I was looking at tomorrows Adonis trying to decide which of the hotpots to back (Solo or Fujimoto Flyer) or if there was an outsider worth considering. Noticed that the ex-Irish Tremwedge is declared. On his first run for Alan King he finished 7th beaten 11 1/2l by Chantry House. He would have preferred softer going/or he was trying to get a handicap mark. He was given 126 which probably wont get into this race.
On his previous race, 2nd time over hurdles he ran in G3 at Fairyhouse and finished 6 1/4l behind Cerberus (Wave of the Sea was 2nd and Saint D'oroux was 4th) He was sold later in December for £80k.
I am not saying he will win tomorrow but he will be trying to get a couple pounds or more added to his OR.
Just backed him EW @ 25/1 NRNB with B365
