Afternoon chaps I've been considering the same Reebok but can't really get head round the bonus t & c - any thoughts from the panel would be welcome. Cheers.
Oddy, you’ve managed to preview that ‘Listed’ Newbury bumper without mentioning the one that I’m interested in namely Em Lavelle’s KILLYGLASS. Don’t know if he will run in Royal Berkshire or down in God’s own county on Sunday but wherever he turns up I’ll be watching most keenly. A recent recruit from across the water Ems recently did a ‘Stable tour’ in ‘The Weekender’ where the words Killyglass and ‘Festival Bumper’ were mentioned in the same sentance.
Ron - done Re Bet365, it is pretty standard for all these "free bet bonus offers" that you have to turnover something like 4 times the free bet they gve to you before you can withdraw. My advice is to deposit 200 quid, grab the 200 bonus, then put the lot on Quevega for the David Nicholson. When she has won, stick all you winnings on Sprinter Sacre in the Champion Chase. Once he has won, stick the lot on your Gold Cup fancy. Job done.
Had this wrote out from last night. Good to see Toppy is looking along the same lines! 2.10 Ludlow Danandy 25/1 Although favourite Reginaldinho definitely sets the standard, I'm quite interested in Philip Hobbs chasing debutant Denandy who I think could run a very big race in what looks a pretty modest race. A Point To Point winner on his 4th time of asking, Danandy was picked up for £13,000 for current connections and he made a pretty good start when running out a decisive winner of a moderate bumper of 2m2f at Fontwell in January last year. He made his hurdling debut a month later at todays course over 3m where he certainly travelled like the best horse in the race but perhaps he got a bit lonely up the run in (he and the winner raced wide apart) as he went down by 1.75L with the front two 13L clear of the remainder. It was a very promising hurdling debut and he looked a horse with a considerable future. He had another start a couple of weeks later when sent of an 8/13 shot but he was reported "very ill" by Hobbs and you've clearly got to put a line through that effort. He made his seasonal debut on the back of an 8 month absence in a hot Novice Hurdle at Ascot in November and although beaten 102L he shaped quite a deal better than that. Sitting prominent throughout, Danandy was bang there after 3 out and Johnson looked to nudge him to the lead in the long run in before 2 out but he dropped out very quickly and was taken care of by Johnson. Although he faded at an alarming rate, he travelled well for a long way and I definitely think he is a horse that Hobbs is taking his time to get right given the illness he had earlier in 2012. Danandy's final start came last month on his handicap hurdling debut over 2m4f and although he was pulled up he again shaped a lot better than that bare result. Held up just off the pace under Tom O'Brien, Danandy again travelled very well for most of the race and once handicap blot Gevrey Chambertain was sent clear Danandy was gingerly handled (doubt he would have placed either) but he certainly shaped as if he retained his ability. Although his very promising career took a big nose dive after coming home ill nearly a year ago, I'm hoping his two runs this season have been geared towards getting him right to go chasing which he begins today in what looks a very winnable race. He has first time blinkers which I hope is a sign that the handbrake will be let off and I also think its perhaps quite telling that he returns to Ludlow which is a course he clearly goes well at. A Point 2 Point winner, I am sure he was ultimately bought with the intention to go chasing and I expect him to be spot on for this. Richard Johnson takes the ride and Philip Hobbs has a really good record here with his chasers, and is 4-9 here in this sphere this season. Although the bang in form and progressive Reginaldinho deserves his place at the head of the market, he clearly isn't any world beater with his last (easy) win came off a mark of 109. Even if he has the potential to run to a level of 125, given that he has to concede the entire field 7lb it wouldn't take a world beater to finish ahead of him and I think Danandy has the scope to be at least that good. Given that Philip Hobbs said prior to the season starting that "I think this could be quite a nice horse", I'm willing to have a small bet on this chasing debutant and if taking to fences at the first time of asking I'm hopeful of a big run.
Good job to... Ran all over the place after the final fence and had nowt in response to Khazium... Good start for the bookies, a few trebles n accy's done in already...
Good run by Danandy, then stopped as if shot 3 out! Shouldn't have been a fitness issue, although he did try to run them all out of it.
Another close one at Ludlow... ROTO, i suppose you didnt want Danandy making front running did you, or is he one to get nto...?
Lets hope News Years Eve runs like he hasnt had a drink, and not like the morning after the night before...hic...
Danandy ran well for an awful long way and I think one of two things happened. Either Richard Johnson is still very much taking care of the horse as he hasn't completely recovered from his illness or he still has a problem that the yard haven't got to the bottom of yet.
de, de, de... Another one bites the dust...!!! just met one on a better day than him... Ptit Zig looked good there...
Afternoon all. One I'm interested in is Comehomequietly @ 33s in the 3.50 at Ludlow. Down in class and up in trip may just make this one competitive each way. Also a small ew dabble on Shuh Shuh Gah @ 12s in the last. Ran a cracker last time out and expect a similarly competitive run today. In absolute **** form though so probably best ignored.
