The Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle

If he wins today though, the danger is he goes Triumph instead ?

Surely they are barely into the 130s now the pair of them? So id imagine both could be trying today and wont be budged up too much

Yep, fully expect them both to be trying to win today. If they do and win well, then the Triumph must be more of a possibility. Therefore the Today/Boodles bet is risky. That was my point.
 
Didn’t look like either were trying too hard…
 
Iberique travelled nicely and wasn’t pushed around there I thought.

Britzka may be having many quick runs in succession as he was struggling at one point.
 
Took 25s Britzka. Looked like a lovely cheat-up from Davy...
 
Britzka not given a tough time there…. Neither I thought was IDS
 
Wasn't the Boodles, or the Fred Winter, one of the additions when the Festival went 4 days?
 
What’s the usually lowest OR to get in? I’m assuming neither would be in danger of being too low now?

Edit: Just read post #1 and it could be up around 128

Wait for Gavin Lynch to say that’s exactly the kind of run he wanted to see and Britzka will be 12s again Tuesday evening.
 
Is anyone else concerned about Britzka now? Would have liked it to have jumped better and maybe finishing stronger than that..
 
To be fair, he was never travelling from the start, Davy always just niggling away slightly. I'd no doubt connections thought he'd run a little better than that but maybe it was backing up so quickly after his latest run.

Must admit watching Davy having to give him reminders 4 out does have me slight concerned as he was never travelling well at all. 33/1 is about right based on that showing so hopefully he now gets a break until March and will run in the Boodles fresh and with more fluency
