The four favourites that you're dead against

Interesting how many people against Percy pat will have him ready doesn’t need to have had a hard season look at native river two seasons ago run everywhere and was dead by Cheltenham lightly campaigned last year and wins the gold cup prep in Galway yesterday everyone in Ireland knows he’s the winner even Patrick Mullins says he going to be very hard to beat!

Of favs I’m against
Santini would be one TOTG has already beat him
Buveur d’air think apples jade form this season aswell as the 7lb will make all the difference
Al dancer when a 100/1 shot is running you close in a handicap I have ???
Give me a copper has to prove it for me first always a frantic pace the ultima May get found out for experience

It's not a case I do not like PP, I made that mistake last year when I thought Monalee was better than PP, my pocket still hurts. But for me I like to see a horse have a few races over fences before running in the gold cup.. having a few good prep races before is normally the way to go & around 3/1 is just poor value..
 
Couldn’t agree more with you Arkle regarding Pat Kelly he’s a genius and will have Percy primed to the minute!
Got to be against Lalor, the ground wasn’t the reason he got beat last time out, can’t have him on my brain.
I’m dead against Give me a copper Paul Nicholls record in the race is horrendous.
Santini! Delta work could be an aeroplane
Last of all think champ is definitely beatable city island and battle over doyen to fight it out. The way champ pulls could find him out, I could be proven wrong but 11/4 doesn’t interest me.
 
Santini - Backed him before season started a/r, but how he's fave over Delta Work is beyond me.

Champ - Got some of him a/r at 8s because coral were too slow, but think he might be better off in a supreme the way he pulls

Footpad - On his form this season and with none in open company he shouldn't be fave for this, imo.

Epatante - Not sure it has beaten much, and think Honeysuckle should be fave/
 
Champ only needed a squeeze to win the challow there’s gears to that horse watch it back
 
Sir Eric
Champ
Al Dancer
Santini

Even tho I have bets at decent prices on two of them

Santini. I'll be all over Delta Work

Lalor. Defi or Duc de Genievres.

Ok Corral. Can't back it at 5/2 in an amateur race.
 
al dancer. (im on at 12/1 but coming round to thinking that the betfair hurdle wasnt much)
sir erec - too short, this race worlds apart from the last day
beuver d'air strongest by far of the CH's he will have contested and only scraped home last year form suspect this season
OK corall. henderson not renound for training 4miler winners way short enough in a deep race
 
Al Dancer.Thinks hes just good handicaper
Paisley Park.Same reason.
Apples Jade.Wrong race and trip.
And the last (which i think im the only one who thinks it cant win)
Tiger Roll Just cant see it winning but hope im wrong for all you guys

I love a strong opinion Somer and these are a strong shout!!
 
I have Champ and Ok Corral at bigger prices but neither backable now
Sir Erec might hose up but combination of being a juvenile/full horse and trainer record and mainly the price would put me off
Also would have Delta Work over Santini
 
Al Dancer - Has done nothing wrong, but his form doesn't amount to much to my eyes, and don't think he deserves to be fav for the Supreme. Its an open year of course, but he has to be taken on at the prices.

Santini is a decent winner for me, but I must admit Im going off him. Don't really like his prep and just cant quite see him winning now.

Blue Sari is a terrible price and Id never back a 4 year old in the Bumper. One impressive win, and the form could yet be worthless. Mt Leinster won an egg and spoon race impressively first time up and has since been found out and I confidently expect the same to happen with Blue Sari. How can he be shorter than Envoi Allen?! Madness!

Lisnagar Oscar in the Albert Bartlett. Done nothing wrong, but its hard to believe Dickie Diver wont progress and reverse the form form when they met last time, and that's without even considering all the other potentially exciting 'could be anything' types in the race.

How many of the ‘could be anything’ types have actually won the Albert Bartlett though?

Yes true Jackie. But I just can't have this horse as fav myself. He has had 5 runs as opposed to the likes of CoF having 3. Will that be the difference? Dont think so myself.

Derrinross is another one I really like with enough experience, and to my eyes, better form than the fav.
