I totally get where you're coming from, chef. I was suspicious last year when FB won and he hasn't followed it up at all. I thik there would be something suspicious afoot if he won again. I'm with...

That was one of the first I looked at, Maxbet. I'll need to put some sickness insurance on it now!
Enjoyed the rationale too :)
A trio I'm keeping onside in the Martin Pipe:
Cliffs Of Dover 66/1 - I remember backing this one ante-post for the Champion Hurdle in its second season following its run in the Elite and the fact...
Next up runs in the Grand Annual - the Bay Birch 50/1 - there was a lot to like about the way this one won at Chepstow (Caid Du Lin, Activial, Charbel & Marracudja all behind) in October for which he...
Yesterday wasn't a good day, to put it mildly. I hardly got a run for my money from any of the longshots.
That probably doesn't bode well for today's first longshots because they're both pretty...
RJ is a the ultimate oxymoron: a useless fanny.
Age doesn't come alone, moehat.
Last up for now. Cover bets for the main ones in the Pertemps:
Kilbricken Storm 22/1
Royal Thief 28/1
I know Kilbricken Storm has been mentioned either earlier on the thread or elsewhere and...
In the mares' novice race, I see the JP/Geraghty mare is still 66s so maybe today is just an educational for something further down the line. I can't imagine it would be that price if Hendo or...
In the BAMS I'm mob-handed as per.
At the moment, the only qualifier for the thread is Highway One O One at 50/1. Form figures of 2U43PP hardly inspire confidence, hence no doubt his price, but...
Just had to. Apples Jade 20/1. A win will just about cover my bet on Paisley Park!
In the Shitair I've taken a pop at Duc Des Genievres at 25/1.
I was all over him like a rash in the Arkle last year and he didn't let me down. I've backed him at big prices tis season but he's...
I've gone in again this morning with the price going out to 50s and 7 places on offer.
I'm either going to be very right or very wrong but I don't mind paying to find out. I'm having a pretty...
We've all got the t-shirt, moehat :lol:
I'm seriously considering some sickness insurance on her too.
Settled at full odds with R4 @ 55p
I'm okay with that.
Ran well for its price. Travelled nicely on to the heels of the leaders approaching the turn for home but wasn't really asked to go with them up the straight.
Beat the SP at least and a small profit. Job done.
So Cobden didn't opt for him after all.
Not sure how the bet will be settled. We'll see.
Outlay on the race all but recouped. Won't complain. I thought the horse looked very keen through the race then green at the business end. Might be a serious one next year.
The third one now qualifies: Burrows Edge 20/1. I noted this one being ridden quite negatively when winning recently and the race fell apart in front of him. Maybe they were trying to win clever and...
In the Bumper, my main fancy doesn't quite qualify for the thread but one I planned to back at any rate does.
One True King 150/1 (4pl avail in a place) - NTD tends not to tilt at windmills in the...
In the Coral Cup, as usual, I'm mob handed with, at this stage, at least three qualifiers for the thread. I'm waiting for one to drift a wee bit more and will put it up then but in the meantime I've...
Looking ahead to Thursday, I've taken 66/1 Full Of Surprises in the mares' novice race.
It's not my kind of race but I put up Concertista last year on a hunch and this one is similar.
It's a JP...
In the Ballymore I've taken a little of the 25/1 Easywork. It seems weak enough but surely punters will latch on to it at some point as a value alternative to the front two. Elliot-Giggi 1st...
