    I agree Oddy. 1/2 is a very fair price and the value in the race. Backing Sanctuaire at 9/4 today is taking short odds that SS last season was an aberration.

    I am biased though as I have SS and Big Bucks to go unbeaten this season at 8/1 for a £100

    Nice one Bob - I reinvested some of my winnings from this week on Big Bucks last night - my bookie was still going 5/6 for the world hurdle <yikes> too good to miss <ok>

    Again a big price I think. Who's there to challenge him? Nothing. Zaidpour needs bottomless so won't even turn up, VLV couldn't do it last year and has produced far less this season, Mourad? Oscar Whiskey? None of them have a prayer.

    You're taking 5/6 about him not falling over the edge as he gets older.

    What was it Ruby Walsh said the other day? "Any horse can be beaten, apart from Big Buck's" <laugh>

    One away from the jumps for me

    1.10 Lingfield

    Rollin 'n Tumblin

    I am convinced this is a plot horse and I think today could be the day, two starts back he got no sort of run and was always plugging along! Went up 1lb for that but is back down to 45 today some 20lb below his highest winning mark! Ok that mark was set in 2008 but he also had 3 years off the track!

    I can see Sanctuaire beating Sprinter Sacre today as he likes Sandown but not in the Queen Mother at Cheltenham.
