Quick question for the forum aficionados - I can't help feeling Dan Skelton's runners are often too short in the betting and am often put off them for that very reason. The yard have had 4 winners from 36 runners so far in November and all 4 were pretty skinny prices (4/1, 5/2, 2/1, EVS) - hardly a scintillating strike rate.

One example is the 1.15 at Warwick today - a 13 runner novices hurdle and West Cork from the Skelton Yard is showing at 7/4 whilst Kaymar from Seven Barrows is available at 11/1. I can't for the life of me understand that price discrepancy when I factor in all available information. West Cork may well hose up but I couldn't touch him at those odds.

I'll take that back - Allmankind drifts like a barge and then dots up in the opener <laugh> <cheers>

Two very tricky contests today but I'll plump for La Hulpe at Warwick and Kid Commando at Fontwell - purely based on the respective trainer's knack of getting a bumper horse ready.

I was looking at ones at big prices for some each way thievery and landed on

4:00 Warwick - Cinderbella 28/1
4:10 Fontwell - Morning Spirit 18/1

Nothing silly but ew singles and ew double

Backed KATIES ESCAPE last night in the Warwick race when it was a price, really nice bumper pedigree.
The Fontwell race is a real mish mash. No real hard fancy but had an ew on SOUND WALL. Was tempted to go on Castlegrace Rose on pedigree but the yard a well down the bumper pecking order. Honeyball not really got going yet so would lay rather than play the jolly.

Apart from your selection and the king horse the fob horse looks overpriced for me.
