I did put Willie up at 10/1 a/pOriginally Posted by Tanlic
Expect Skelton to have a couple of very good days at Ayr this weekend. He always targets the meeting.
So too does PFN but whether he has the ammo this year isn't as obvious.
With Hendo back in form expect him to have a good meeting too, by the way.
Illegitimi non carborundum
I think there are 23 NH meetings left in the UK season. That means maybe 160 races with the majority worth less than £10k to the winner. Win and, importantly, place money in the big races at Ayr and Sandown is likely to be decisive.

This shows the latest state of play. Usually updated the morning after but doesn't show an 'as at' date/time.

The older I get the better I was.
I think now Hendo is back he's gonna take a fair amount of prize money of Nicholls and Skelton.
Mullins is a shoo in I'd say.
Come Sandown one of Gaelic Warrior/El Fabiolo will come over surely.
I'd imagine Willie will be sending plenty over this weekend too.
Pretty obvious it will have an adverse affect on Punchestown though.
33 entries for Willie at Ayr!
Dan has over 70 entries between now and Ayr ..going to be very interesting

Wow.
Won't make much difference to my bets, particularly if any of them have multiple runners in a race, I always swerve those races.
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
El Fabiolo going to Sandown for a big title race prize...They say Jonbon could scupper the plan. Wouldn't me my duty is to my owner not another trainer...Nicky should take the bull by the horns and head straight to Ireland and plunder their prize

That was my thinking too. With WPM sending plenty to the UK that surely leaves opportunities at Punchestown for UK trainers. Will any have the cojones?

British trainers are geldings, generally speaking.
May be a bit early to say Hendo is back. Apart from Peaky Boy all his runners at Cheltenham and Ayr this week have performed well below expectations. None more so than Doddiethegreat who looked like he was going to be involved in the finish only to go out like a light

I wouldn't rule Nicholls out of it.I'm amazed that he is running a horse of the calibre of Stay Away Fay in the Scottish National -I would have thought that Newbury in November was an obvious target.
Far from the 1st time he's gone all-out in the end of season joust for the title.
