Looks like sprinter sacre is nailed on according to everyone on here! What's everyone's thoughts on quevega in the mares race? Is she a banker as well? Thinking of going in big on the double! Kentford grey lady hasn't impressed in the last few weeks, can une artiste spring a surprise??
Sir Percy... I will probably be on the same thing...and I might get on Simonsig in the Arkle first as well... CH - Grandouet CC - Sprinter Sacre WH - Reve De Sivola GC - Bobs Worth Not original selections
If there's one to spring a surprise I think it'll be Unaccompanied. I don't think there will be a surprise though. Mullins wasn't in the best of form last year but Quevega still absolutely hosed up. She'll be tough to beat.
CH = Countrywide Flame. Heart and AP voucher overruling head. CC = Sprinter. This could be a walkover. Is he going to face any opposition at all? They may have to rethink the entry conditions so old boy Kinkeel can enter. At least he'll turn up and won't shirk the challenge. WH = Celestial Halo. Yep a bit mental I know but I'm not convinced by any of the market leaders and much as I'd love to see Peddlers Cross in the winners enclosure he doesn't look the same animal. A shock on the cards in this race GC = First Lieutenant. If he goes to the Ryannair then Silvianaco Conti.
Nice one oddy! I did want to put the ss/quevega double on earlier, but after big bucks was ruled out I didn't want to risk the same thing happening to one of them as I'm looking to put down a larger than usual stake and don't want to lose it without a run! Any bookies NR NB yet?
Champion Hurdle - Zarkander World Hurdle - Bog Warrior Champion Chase - Sprinter Sacre Gold Cup - Bobs Worth
Hurricane Fly Sprinter Sacre Reve De Sivola Sir Des Champs I also fancy Chatterbox 20/1 in the Supreme, Overturn 7/2 in the Arkle, Boston Bob 11/2 in the RSA, Cue Card 3/1 in the RyanAir, Golantilla 7/1 in the Bumper and Viva Colonia 16/1 in the Grand Annual.
I called Paddy a few weeks ago and got the stake cleared for the SS/Quevega double. It's going to be my biggest ever bet by a long way as I've had some good fortune over the last few months. They weren't NRNB yet then and their respective prices were 2/5 and 4/6. Prices are shorter now and i'm genuinely of the opinion that they will be bigger the morning of the first day of the Festival. I'm waiting until the day.
