Horses for The Festival

[Nando]

It'd be some effort to win that first time out. They clearly hold him in very high regard but jumping from winning a Coral Cup on 138 to a World Hurdle with a rock solid favourite is going to be difficult!

Nicholls was furious at a preview last year when Schofield mentioned the horse and how well he was going.

I see Great Field has been rated 148 so is out of the Martin Pipe. Coral Cup it is then.

Hands up if you're up to your taters in handicap figures and receiving looks from your wife that would wither a steel door at fifty paces......

Johns Spirit on 10-12...

Sadly the bookies are all too aware of that one.

I'm very taken with Noble Endeavour in the 4 miler. I'm very taken with anything that has Jamie Codd on its back and is trained by Gordon Elliott.

You're not the first person to mention Noble Endeavour or Jamie in the last few days.

Derek O'Connor just jumped off Native River and taken the ride on Minella Rocco.

Some I don't really fancy anymore so may layoff but some I'm very excited for but nervous at the same time.

In regards to Cup Final then I have a friend who owns several horses and gets on well with Nicky Henderson. His told my mate that he will be devasted if Cup Final doesn't win as he is so well handicapped that they have been struggling to keep his mark protected so I will be going in again.

Anyway best of luck to everyone.

Nice one Redditch, will reference this when decided my picks for next week

 

[Penk Wolf]

Cheers Redditch. Some interesting choices there. You'd already mentioned Cup Final to me, but interested on your thoughts on Peace and Co and No More Heroes.

Peace and Co is one that I'm no longer keen on at all.

Like most Triumph winners they most often or not don't make high class horses and the form of the race has not worked out at all. I would be amazed if it was involved in the placings.

No More Heroes is monster of a horse and liked him over hurdles but I try and look out for comments from trainers on novice hurdlers. Gordon Elliott always said he would come alive over fences and thus far looks like a monster of a horse. Rumours are that JP and Jonjo are keen to avoid him hence looking at the JLT for More of That so if does divert then Bryan Cooper will have a steering job.

A couple of big prices for you all to take a look at.

JLT As De Mee

Kim Muir Grandads Horse

Both available at 33's

If any of you decide to back As De Mee use SkyBet because if he loses the win part of your bet will be refunded as a free bet

Make sure you all check out all the offers available from the different firms, I sometimes find it hard to work out how people manage to lose money during The Festival

 

[Nando]

That free bet offer is a cracker.

I think Nicholls could surprise a few. He's got a lot of good ground horses waiting to break out.

So is the Betfair Sportsbook offer for all races on Day One

 

[Sniffer]

So is the Betfair Sportsbook offer for all races on Day One

Is that the one where if you find a winner with odds of more than 3-1 on your first bet for that day you get an extra 3 bets?

That is correct, it applies to your first bet on all races on the first day.

 

[Nando]

Max £1!

If you haven't got an account with Betbright then go for it. I see the maximum is £1. Back Min, then lay him on betfair, can't lose. Proves what I was saying earlier about how people lose is beyond me.

 

[Murphy]

Max £1!

They would have needed certifying to go any higher

 

[Penk Wolf]

Max £1!

Still £50.
