O.k , I'll start the ball rolling .... I don't know if this will float yer boat , Is it too early
to have B.dair & Altior as "Bankers " ??.

No, it's definitely not too early. Altior proved today that he is the epitomy of what a Cheltenham banker should be and at 4/5 I say fire in. Buveur D'Air at EVS is nearly as good. If we are keeping the banker theme going then I'd throw in Tiger Roll.
 
Id be more interested in adjali, mengli khan, delta work etc than the extreme shorties but just a different way of looking at things
 
We do have Altior @ 7-4, and B.d @ 7-2 in the first yankee this year , so maybe go for something different.??.
 
I'd avoid odds on in December.

I don't think either will be beaten but they'll be boosts, enhancements, NRNB security closer to the time and the prices won't be HUGELY different.

I don't think we should look to take either on though.



Tornado Flyer (literally just passed the post) might be an each way price still for the Ballymore? (Highest rated bumper horse Willie has ever had and made a nice debut)
 
Yeah, I'll put that forward then.

Tornado Flyer 14/1 -

for the reasons given above

Unless your doing the Yankee now that will be long gone. That's why I diddnt bother putting up on this thread at 25s this morning. As you always do start of next month.

Yeah we'll see what price it is ...

I think we should wait until something has had a run


Or I'd put up Blackbow now?

We can do that... I'm easy, and it's not my gig...

Just to add some meat on the bones:

Kalum River was beaten 17L by Tornado Flyer today.
Before today Kalum River had been 2nd to Commander of Fleet 6L - and 2nd to Royal Rendezvous 4L

Press Conference was beaten 28L by Tornado Flyer today
Before today Press Conference had been beaten 13L by Lone Wolf, was 10L behind Brewin'upastorm in a P2P and 5L 2nd behind Carefully Selected in a bumper

Cueno was beaten 13L by Tornado Flyer today
That horse won the race than Relegate was beaten in at 4/9 for Willie last time out.

Dream Conti was beaten 9L by Tornado Flyer today
Was his first run over hurdles and had been a very well beaten fav behind Raya Time in his final bumper start

Take Revenge was beaten 3L by Tornado Flyer today
He's previously been beaten 26L by Dorrells Pierji. A good run from him today.

14's for the Ballymore, looks the real deal from that mayo
 
I don’t know what anyone else thinks but I kinda like the idea of December being a Christmas yankee.

By that I mean we form the Yankee of horses who impress over the Christmas period. That week from Boxing Day to New Year’s Eve is full of top class racing that will be good pointers for Cheltenham.

I like this

Throwing out Faugheen 6/1 Leopardstown 3m
 
Both good ideas.

Bobby.... set up a Christmas Yankee if you like, I'm sure a few people will have ideas before 26th Dec?
