…..was just commenting that the bets already placed were still open but they have since been voided.

I’m sure offers will come up at some point this week. Classical Creek & Turn opened 50-1, was cut to 40-1 be interesting what they offer now.

As soon as I see anything I’ll pop them in here.

…..Lads;

Khrisma; Wm Hill Hd (Newbury) & County Hurdle 40-1
 
Let it Rain be trying to do the same double?

….maybe.

Let it Rain a best 16-1 County, not seeing Khrisma quoted. Maybe somebody has requested with her being JP owned. 124/127, I don’t think a win would inconvenience either too much as far as County weights are concerned but Let it Rain might need another run to qualify for a festival handicap.

Yes. As I understand it the requirement for 5 runs specifically says novices.

‘Horses must have run at least four times over fences to qualify for a non-novice handicap chase (three times for novice races) and five times over hurdles to qualify for non-novice handicap hurdles (three times for the juvenile contest).’
 
Not how I read what is publicly available.

Doesn't make a difference the status of the horse (novice or non novice).
Joyeuse had this exact issue last year. Wasn’t a novice. Four runs before the festival including winning the Betfair. Nicky had a rant about it not being fair that a Betfair Hurdle winner couldn’t run in a handicap at the festival … and thus ran her in the mares.

So unless it’s changed again this year, you are definitely correct.
 
Remember last years winner of the betfair ?

Joyeuse !
Couldn't run in the county and was not a novice.
Only 4 runs.

It's like explaining where the sun is to our lass and what the shadows mean when she's putting out a sunbed !!!

Looks like Nicky and Hendo have read the rules this year with Khrisma.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's wife doesn't know how the sun and shadows work. 🤣
