    Cliff Horses

    For any horse that you just can't help backing, for no apparent logical reason.

    If I can be arsed - unlikely, but not impossible - I will track selections to LSP, and we'll see how we fare (EC is doing something similar in the 'Value Find' thread, but he is much more industrious than me, so no promises).

    Just post your horse, and the best market-price associated with it.

    One of mine goes today - Mozoltov in the 14:20 at Fairyhouse (BP 14/1 - Marathon)

    Good idea, had thought of doing similar yesterday.

    There is a horse I am following this season MR Diablo.

    Running in beginners chases. Am of the belief they are now trying to get a decent handicap mark for him.

    Out of presenting, he will improve with Spring ground.

    He will go in off a good price some day soon.
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Get him into a tracker so you can post here when he runs, granger.

    My tracker has a few horses with a profile like Diablo. Will do

    hopefully we spot a big priced winner soon.

    To be clear, I'm not looking for people to list their horses here.......because I'm certainly not going to be tracking running-plans (please refer to Post No.1 above).

    If you see one of your cliff horses running, note it here on the day. If you miss it - no biggie.

    Ithangyou.

    Konig Hall. Won for me at 20/1 at Balinrobe, one p1ssed up Monday night in August. His first crack at hurdles and he looked good; done nothing since off a mark around 95. He's no good and I'm not sure how much scope he has off that mark, tbh, but he made me happy that night a few months ago. I'll only throw a couple of quid at him each race anyway.

    Mozoltov nearly [albeit no danger to the winner]. Hardly any fences seemed to help....

    Decent run from Mozoltov. 2nd at 14/1.

    I'll do an Each-Way tracker too.

    Step him up and run him in the 3m Handicap Chase on the Tuesday.

    Anyway, hope you backed Mozoltov e/w.

    One of mine has me pondering, as this time of year, in deepest of deep Jumping country - when the entries for the Lincoln are out.

    Speaking of cliff horses, Briar Hill is entered at Naas on Saturday.

    Clondaw Court is not entered though and wasn't entered at Punchestown on New Years Eve either so he must be back on the injured list.

    Add BH in here (with best-price) on Saturday, CL, if you want him running for the thread.

    Cheers

    Never Again entered for Thurles tomorrow.

    Put her up as my Christmas good thing only for Limerick to be abandoned.

    Loves the slop, by Jeremy and jumps like a buck.
