Less than an hour to go until the old GN runners are announced then. I’m waiting on one ‘on the cusp’ although I fear that the old boy won’t get in.
Old Abbeybraney hasn't made it then. Quite disappointed as he was 150/1 which was in my opinion was about 7 times his true price. Twiston-Davies must be disappointed that Viking Blond hasn't go in. To my eye he had a much bigger chance than Hello Bud.
Oooh balls. Really?! How come? Anyone know what happens to Tote bets (i.e. Forecasts) if this happens? Does my cash just get lost into the pool?
Funny you say that because I completely disagree. I think he's being underrated now because of his subsequent reverses with valid reasons. His early Juvenile form is as good as any. Nicholls really likes him and with him coming here fresh, with Fehily on board, and softer ground he can go close IMO.
Sadlers Risk 14:30 Aintree at 7/1 generally. Set the pace for most at Cheltenham and if he can settle better and get tucked in a nice position i think this horse has more improvement to come. He obviuosly has to turn the tables on a few of these and i think the flatter track will suit his speed more so than most here and i think at 7's he is a good bet e/w if he hurdles well.
Alan King isn't usually the bullish type, but he seems very confident about a big run from Medermit. He'll have to find improvement to beat Riverside Theatre, but the step up to 3m offers hope there. Both of these failed to impress with their jumping in the Ryanair, but imo they and Burton Point have a class edge over the rest of this field. Medermit looks the value at 11/2, and PP are offering to refund losing stakes if your selection finishes 2nd to Riverside Theatre.
God damn it. Annoying. It's out of the other Honeyball runner and the King horse she lost to last time out.
Think Midnight minx never was going to run tomorrow looking at Honeyballs website. He only mentioned 1159....the Minx didnt get a mention!!!
great raving today folks. tho as ever with aintree difficult to get a handle on. I've gone for won in the dark e/w, race is not as good as last year. the pricewise in the novice at 33 and reindeer dippin in the last. also attached to Carruthers forever so he will get a small wager despite the tough task. good luck all
BTW is there any point Choc Thornton being Kings stable jockey. "OWNERS" staying loyal to Hutchinson. Not Chocs fault he was injured. Big fan of both jockeys but if your stable jock you should get the ride. Doesn't have a ride in the big race now
Hutchinson has a good record on the horse which is what swayed them I think. I think it's probably being overstated to be honest.
Is it really - try telling that to Choc Thornton who doesn't have a ride in the race even though the yard he is NUMBER 1 rider for has a leading contender.
