    Exchange price maybe something to do with Nicholls dire record in the Bumper?

    Jockey News

    I met Jamie Moore once when he was riding for erstwhile TH member and all-round good guy Roddy Owen at the November meeting years back. Roddy had invited myself and a pal to join him for lunch in O&T where he was sat with Peter Bowen and his incredibly young sons Sean and James (both primary...

    Iroko’s owner may have something to do with this seemingly miraculous recovery!

    Cheltenham 2024 NRNB

    I have my smallest ever ante-post Festival book. No meaningful bets to speak of. A few quid at 25/1 about Il Etait Temps for the Arkle (same bet in Turners), but not exactly confident about it, and same applies to Jeriko De Reponet in Supreme. I’ve daft prices too about Jit Langy and Gold...

    Betfair Hurdle 2024

    Nice shootin’, Tanlic. Shishkin is a bizarre horse. He looks like he really cannot be arsed with it mid-race, but always puts it in at the business end. His presence in the Gold Cup field will be welcome.

    Betfair Hurdle 2024

    Have gone with Aurigny Mill at 16’s. I’m a little bit concerned that he’s only ever gone right-handed before, but it strikes me that Vic Dartnell must think he’s in grand form, to start him off going left-handed in a race like this. Have also included him in combo forecasts and tricasts with...

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    That’s the one I’m looking closest at, vike. Nice to see Vic Dartnell with another good horse in his care.

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    Have had a go at the outer of the party Bugise Seagull at 12/1 in the Sidney Banks (Huntingdon 14:50). The price seems rather dismissive of a horse that is 2-from-2 at around this trip under Rules, won't mind the ground, gets weight from two of the three others, and is well within...

    The 2024 Longshot Thread

    Hansard not declared. Back to the drawing board. Re Faivoir, Skelton has 7lbs claimer Miss Heidi Palin jocked-up. Hard to see the pilot having enough experience to win a race like this, and more likely the run is to get a couple knocked off the rating for another go in the County (imo).

    The 2024 Longshot Thread

    No idea if he is an intended runner or not, but have chanced Gary Moore's top-weight Hansard each-way at a boosted 22/1 (Ladbrokes) in the Betfair Hurdle. A quick review of past results suggests that the lower the top-weight, the better the 11-0+ horses seem to do, and I like horses who race...

    For Sunday: Small Win and larger each-way on both Gold Dancer (33/1) and Jit Langy (66/1) in the 2m G1 novice hurdle. Not confident enough to put either up in the Longshot thread - more testing a theory. Not my usual style, but have had a crack at the Graded accy at a shade under 7/1 - Gaelic...

    Tongue-tie has maybe made the difference? Maybe just likes the track at Leopardstown. Jumping round Cheltenham a different prospect though - he looked just a bit iffy at a couple of fences here (brave though).

    Cheers for the shout on the W/O market, Euro......nice boost, as I kept my stakes on the Win fairly low.
