‘Win Today & Cheltenham 2023’

Reckon 9/2 Luccia actually represents a bit of value in relation to her current price.

I'm already as involved as I wish to be in a race like the Mares Novice but would otherwise be taking that.

I agree.... I nearly took it myself despite already being on.

She looked good.

This post helps no-one, soz

….PP Betfair Chase & Ryanair;

Fakir 5-1
Shishkin 7-1
 
Happy to back shishkin on those odds, but not yet, worried hendo will moan of ground being too quick
then again, he rain Luccia and jonbon over the weekend - forced to get a prep in them now

funny how that works out. Ascot in oct/nov. Unsafe to run. Same sort of conditions now, safe to run them. You mean you are forced to as you want them ready for the fez

Agreed. Wouldn't want to risk the first leg antepost unnecessarily at this stage. One to wait until Thursday, if you're keen.

Normally I’d say yes with that approach, but Hendo only really has this opportunity to run him before the festival. Any delay and there’s not enough time before the festival, so I’d be really surprised if he doesn’t run, even with the lack of rain in the forecast.
 
I'd be a little surprised if shiskin even ran at the weekend given the weather
 
Any takers on Front View today? *clutching*

did massively fancy him for the MP back when he was with Joey. Could sneak into something like the county with a smooth win today

Have asked Hills for Monty’s Star given Saxon’s interesting write up in the Irish race planning diary.

I did the same! Haha, hopefully one of us gets an answer! :eagerness:
 
Haha, great minds. He’s 25/1 with them NRNB for the AB, and 15/2 tomorrow, so you’d hope for a decent price. Worth noting he’s 40/1 antepost with 365 as well, so will depend on the price they offer.

….looks like he’s been cut into that 15/2 with 365, 10-1 Hills.
