Horses for The Festival

[Penk Wolf]

BET365 are now doing NRNB on 5 of the races.

 

[Nando]

The rest should be spot on.

I'm going to have a nibble on Altior for the Supreme. Impossible to find any faults at all with his performances o date. Min is a daft price and he's only going to get shorter when he beats nothing again at the weekend.

 

[The Bear]

Is Smad Place still going for the Gold Cup?

 

[Nando]

Been backed in for the Ryanair so could be heading there. I don't think he's good enough anyway on the back of his run in the King George.

 

[The Bear]

He's gone out from 14s to 33s in the GC.

 

[Nando]

Min out again tomorrow, Tombstone not declared. Assume he'll go for the Deloitte.

Good chance he's going to be evens for the Supreme if he wins tomorrow on the back of winning one of the worst novice hurdles of the season and a bang average Grade 2.

Rancid.

I hope he wins easily then we can play against him come the day

 

[Nando]

Giggi saying that Tombstone is their Supreme horse.

 

[chungster]

Now stuck in that yawning limbo between diminishing ante post value, second and third guessing likely targets and nrnb.

Where's Killultagh Vic going?

 

[slink]

I'd guess RSA.

 

[Nando]

I've got barely anything staked ante-post.

I'd say RSA but sod knows when his only chase has been over 2m!

The Neptune is looking like a race to find an angle at a price. Not been overly impressed with Belshill and I can't see Wylie wanting to run Yorkhill in the same race, so I think he'll go for the Supreme. Yanworth interests me and King is now seemingly favoring this route. His beating of Le Prezien looks smart considering he's come out and won on the bridle very easily twice since.

 

[chungster]

Not that the race is ever an ante post punting proposition but this juvenile of O'Brien's is getting ludicrously short for the Triumph even if he was 105 rated on the flat.

Been waiting for Nicholls to take Zubayr out of the bubble wrap but heard he's recently been gelded.

 

[slink]

I can't decide with the Neptune, think Yanworth would go with a great chance but so would Shantou Village if he goes here. At a bigger price Wait For Me could be worth a shout, looks like he has a lot to learn over hurdles but he finished in front of Yanworth in the bumper last year.

Looking at that market Charmix is an interesting one, entered in the Neptune, Supreme and Albert Bartlett but not by all firms, think this would be ideal for him but no idea if he's going here.

 

[chungster]

I was expecting Tombstone to go Neptune but noises now suggest the sharper trip.

I'd prefer Shantou Village to go for the Bartlett.

Looking forward to seeing him on Trials day if they run him.

 

[Nando]

I'd back Shantou Village if he was to turn up in the Neptune, which he might well do considering how good Barters Hill looks. Although Pauling is saying he's not sure which race they'll be targeting for Barters Hill! Novice hurdles are such a minefield!

I see Hills have gone evens on Min! Spineless bastards.

 

[Murphy]

Anyone laid down any money yet?

I'm on Identity Thief CH, Sprinter Sacre CC, Cole Harden WH, Cue Card GC all NRNB, the only ante post bet I've had is Blaklion RSA

Just added Al Ferof in the Ryanair NRNB

If Vautour and/or Road To Riches head for The Gold Cup this race will cut up. Now is the time to play NRNB against these two.

 

[North West Wanderer]

7/2 on SS still seems great value for me

 

[chungster]

Looks like Meade's sending R2R to the Hennessey.

Had a bit of an e/w nrnb poke at him last week for both Ryanair and GC.

If he runs with Vautour in the Ryanair he has a good chance of following him home.

If Vautor goes GC and R2R Ryanair I reckon he could start favourite.

And if they both end up in the GC I still think the 16s I got was decent nrnb value as I think he's getting a bit forgotten. That said Djackadam's every right to improve as a young horse and he may have a bit to find with him.

Goes on any ground and doesn't hang about. If it came up genuine good ground I'd be even keener.

 

[chungster]

Apache Stronghold not likely to appear this season according to RP yesterday.

There's a few bob down the drain already.

 

[Murphy]

7/2 on SS still seems great value for me

I've backed him NRNB @ 9/2 ew, you would have thought with a clear round he should get placed. At 7/2 ew you would take a small loss.
