    I can see a big-priced winner this year mate and Rutherglen at 20s is a decent e/w punt I reckon <ok>

    If I was a bookie id be looking to Hurricane Fly to make or break my year, id go 5/1 and stand the lot, even the filthy e/w bets that would be sure to be rolling in.

    Oddy iv been on Rutherglen for a couple months now really fancy his chances <ok>

    Guys onto tonight's business 365 doing their 50 free in play bet offer when you bet 50 before the match. Now at home I strongly fancy citeh to beat barca and may wager my stake on that 2/1 pre match. In play however I could play safe and stick on a draw(can't see them losing) but I might take a gamble on the free bet on an anytime goal scorer. Thinking toure/silva could be a decent shout or if I find bigger balls, Kompany.

    What you guys doing?

    Think Barca will open up the City defence and expose them much like Bayern did and will therefore predict a 2-1 Barca victory

    I am really surprised that there are no comments re this horse today as in my opinion it was given the softest ride imagineable. It's going in the notebook under the "definitely back next time" banner. I wouldn't be surprised to see it out again pretty soon over two miles!

    NO. Simply because the Adonis winner isn't even entered in the Triumph Hurdle ;-)

    Stick old boy. I see Royal Irish Hussar priced up at 25/1 now for the Triumph if he runs that is huge he made Guitar Pete look very ordinary at Cheltenham and he is no bigger than 10s. One bad run can be forgiven I guess. Wrote him off earlier in the season as thought he was poor value but he looks a decent saver with Calipto as the main bet.

    LINDENHURST is also very closely matched with Guitar Pete and actually beat him when they last met having been 2nd to him previously 50/1 <ok>

    RV, can you stop ****ing up my Cheltenham Preview please you knobber! I agree that he had one run that can be forgiven. The rest of his form is beyond reproach and I think Nicky said that day "lets put him away for Cheltenham". The price is an insult if you take out that one howler!

    Robert Stephens, I don't know much about him to be honest. Small yard down in Wales. The horse has as good a form as any in the UK this season. How that will stack up against the Irish is anyones guess but he must be a serious contender. I don't know if you know this but he was intended to be a flat horse and was in training with Roger Charlton but deemed too backward to race at 2 and 3 so his owner breeder sent him to Stephens to embark on a bumper career. By Motivator out of a nice Generous mare he is certainly well bred but more as a Derby horse than a festival bumper. Stays the trip ok though and certainly has a bit of class about him. Our leading contender to see off Mullins and Co.

    My guess is that it would be money back if Vautour wins the Supreme. I think they started the offer in this race and only switched to others when the race was really open a couple of years ago. Already as low as 5/2 with Ladbrokes, will probably get a bit shorter as we get nearer. Making it the short price fav they like to take on in the race, and had success with.
