I'm getting this in now for tomorrow as I'm half-expecting the bookie (Bet 365) to 'correct' the price by morning.
CHL 2.40 - Quite By Chance (ew) 33/1 - he's been disappointing in his last three runs but they have coincided with the awful midwinter ground we've had. Go back to the late autumn and the better ground and he ran really well against handicap good things Exitas and Sir Valentino, the latter in a hundred-grander, off higher marks. The step back up in trip, the lower mark and the better ground will, I hope, bring about a much improved run and the stable was in brilliant form at Aintree last week. I reckon he really should be no longer in the betting than Frodon or Go Conquer.

Cheers DO. I had him down as reasonably priced at 20/1 with Skybet but more than happy to take the 33/1 with Bet365

Haha caught me
Seriously though if you expect both to halve in price and I think both of you have made solid cases for both then it has to be worth a go. If they go off at 8's and 16's the forecast would pay 130 and 160 ish not 400 and 430ish. You know you're on board outsider

Pluralism of Ideas and the prosperity of any land are intertwined. Freedom of minds and skill of intellect to 'think the unthinkable' is how humanity has progressed; when minds are incarcerated nothing endures.

Another couple for today:
Chl 4.25 - Bryden Boy ew 66/1 (5pl) - Not my main bet in the race but far too long at the price. Should be around the same price as Whataknight. Bryden Boy beat Whataknight last season getting 13lbs less the latter’s rider’s 5lbs claim and gets 9lbs here. The stable’s runners are doing really well at the moment with seven of their last nine no worse than third in their respective races.
Chl 5.00 - Delusionofgrandeur 25/1 (5pl) - Again, not my main bet but I had a small bet on this lad in the National as I have him well handicapped on his Rowland Meyrick form. The worry with him is a very negative report (Ken Pitterson) on his condition ahead of the National in today’s edition of the Weekender.

I can't take the credit for that one lads he'd made the case for it months ago. He certainly wasn't on my radar for anything until Outsider flagged him up.

Strange ride for both. Whataknight was my main bet in the race (12/1 ew) and I genuinely felt wherever he finished Bryden Boy wouldn't be far away. I don't know if BB was squeezed out turning at the top of the hill but he lost a lot of ground very suddenly. Whataknight, as at the festival, got a tactically inept ride. Fehily has got it wrong a number of times this season but maybe the horse needs to travel wide but I thought he was maybe just over-confident and the winner caught him cold.

Well done again chaps.

3.15 Cheltenham
Indian Stream looks overpriced at 20/1 with Bet365. Her 4th at the Festival and previous good run here attempting to give 10lb to Midnight Tour who’s now rated 151 looks decent form
