    The 2022 'Should be odds-on' Thread

    Allow me to introduce the antipodes - should that be antithesis? - of the Longshot thread...

    Obviously this one is much looser in that the oddschecker table will clearly show which horses are 20/1 or better for the Longshot thread but this one is much more subjective.

    It's for odds-against bets that you seriously believe should be odds-on.

    One for the professionals, you might say, and/or an alternative to the old 'Will Win' thread. Obviously not all odds-on shots win so there's an element of forgiveness in the titles, unlike Slim's old thread.

    And the longer the odds, the more kudos you get!

    I would like to think this one will throw up a better than 50% strike rate. Or maybe just make us throw up.

    We shall see.

    I'll start.

    Saturday, Cheltenham 3.40 Hillcrest 13/8.

    As long as you're sure WP should be odds-on.

    Personally, I'm not so sure but I hope so for the sake of the thread!

    Three Irish raiders and they finish 1-2-3.

    Not looking too healthy for the home juveniles.

    Why? I know he's Irish but he was an average handicapper for Gosden last year on the flat and honestly, not that impressed with his jumping lto. Like the Nick Williams horse.

    Good luck, DJ. Can't see it myself against the Nicholls horse which I think is the most likely winner.

    Well it went off 4/5 so I got that bit right

    Might have been 2/3 for the thread but for the mishap. Early days.
