….Champion Green as low as 7-1 for this after that win, looks like PP go biggest at 12-1.
 
The horse that beat Champion Green at Christmas, Doctor Churchill, is declared to run tomorrow with a good claimer on. 5/4 fav at Punchestown.

Currently 25/1 for the Boodles with 365.

Rated 123 at the moment, so I reckon they'll be trying to win tomorrow as well.

Giving 2 stone to the other horse of Elliotts who has a leniant mark of 94. Wouldn't surprise me if they both go clear of the rest and Doctor Churchill finishes 2nd so the rise isn't as high.

Was entered at Ascot earlier in the season alongside iberique de seuil. Neither was given a UK mark, but obvious he was hunting then. Think I might have to have a little dabble before tomorrow :encouragement:

Today was fine for Doctor Churchill's mark with a view to this. Will probably go up a few and be taxed a few putting him in the 128-130 bracket. Looked and felt like a mark conserving ride but I could be off.

I wasn't impressed with his jumping today and would be worried about it moving into a handicap.
 
I'd have liked to have seen Lunar Power with an entry in the Spring Juvenile and running down the field in 6th or something. But he hasn't got it so I wonder what the intention is, and until I have an idea (perhaps Stuart Williams has), I'm not sure I'd be that interested in 14/1 right now.
 
Not really sure why he's put him up at 14/1 with Sky when he's still 20/1 NRNB with bet365. Would rather that at 1/4 the odds 4 places than 1/5 odds 5 places myself.

Also 20/1 NRNB with Betfred 5 places if anyone can get on with them.
 
Williams is a bit of a weird one at the moment. His Cheltenham ante post record is generally speaking giving he's usually just putting up one shot per race. But this season he has basically vanished - doesn't really do his usual Saturday selections at all, but then keeps popping up and posting slightly left field feeling ante post punts. Bit strange

Mark Howard has put up Gaelic Warrior on Sporting Life, 6/1.

Got to be the worst one yet?!

At price, probably but with BOG and NRNB at 365, I question how much their 5/1 really matters. It's more a case of whether you'd want to back at that price.

I will say though, having just read his column, it's a pretty convincing case. I'm just disappointed for myself that I didn't see/know about him as early as some of you with the 12/1, let alone the 25/1!
 
Yes, it's a very convincing case, as was the exact same argument put across here, over a week ago.

Well done to those here highlighting it then. It really shows the benefit of this site, and I say that, not talking out of my pocket. I'm only interested in handicaps a lot close to the day.
 
Before Jeff Kidder, the last ten or so winners all had an A in the first three letters of one of the words in their name.

Gaelic Warrior has 2. It's nailed on lads

Form book in the bin with stats like that :biggrin-new:
 
If The Tide Turns runs at the weekend, would there be enough time for a third run with this race in mind? I backed him for the Triumph but not sure he'll line up.
 
So guys. I am really keen on Joseph's six feet apart at the festival. IBoodles or triumph however I am a bit confused as why he's down this weekend after Doncaster only so recently.
What's the impact of him running this weekend on the boodles weight? Trying to understand the positives.

IF Fil Dor is turned over convincingly by Vauban tomorrow can anyone see him heading here instead of the Triumph?
