    Just a bit of fun this one and with so many hotpots lining up there will be a number of opinions.

    The Mares Hurdle is 8-1 joint fav with the expectation that Quevega will slaughter the other poor lasses. The other j-f is the Kim Muir. Interestingly though the Bumper is a massive 40-1. Ok so there isnt a hot favourite in the race but a few of the recent renewals have provided wide margin wins were horses that were not considered bankers. Cue Card and Cousin Vinny spring to mind.

    At 40-1 it's a bit of fun that just might pay for some losers!

    But I do think the 4m race will see the widest margin win. Any idea about the price?

    Stick to the amateur riders races when looking to play this market, last years Kim Muir and Foxhunters were won by around 25 lengths each, these pilots get a bit giddy when they get on the big stage - I always watch the NH Chase from the centre of the course and stand by the second last and they're kicking and screaming like it's the last ever horse race, they jump the last 10 clear they're punching all the way the line.
    Killed me last year when I played under aggregate distances....

    NH Chase 10s
    Foxhunters 16s
    Could do worse than back the pair

    Presumably the Queen Mother Champion Chase is at least 66/1 in which case I'll have 10p on that.

    What? **** that then. I'm not risking 10p at those odds.

    What price is the Arkle?

    If Geraghty wants to put on a show, then I could see Sprinter Sacre winning by a fence :biggrin:

    That market is surely for the kind of people who bet on what colour the Queen will wear at Royal Ascot <laugh>

    Guess how many winners will be:
    (a) Grey
    (b) Bay
    (c) Chestnut
    (d) Brown
    (e) Black

    If you get them all right you can multiply the correct number of winners to arrive at your cumulative odds.
