    Thanks guys and sorry Simmo, I feel your pain.

    Aintree - Other Races

    I’ll be interested in No Looking Back (hopefully goes in the Top Novices and 14/1 available) as I think he’ll be underrated due to connections and it was no mean feat LTO trying to concede the penalty,

    Fairyhouse and Irish National

    Easy to say in the heat of the moment and having had a nice priced winner but that could be the greatest ride I have seen in 40 years of watching racing. Up there with Witchita Lineman. I Am Maximus didn’t jump or travel with any fluency but Townend was absolute class. Thanks DO

    I’ve backed I Am Maximus @ 14s but not with huge confidence

    B365 Best Odds Guaranteed

    I was restricted ages ago and what I noticed was they have a Promotions page (may be called offers) that is available in both web and app that is dynamic, in that it only shows those available to your account.

    Hurdling or Chasing

    "There are more opportunities over fences to start with, which would lead to the Arkle and the Champion Chase or maybe even the Gold Cup if he stays. A real superstar is a horse that can adapt to everything."

    Lincoln Handicap 1/04/2023

    I liked the look of him too but you could argue Boardman offers the better value of the three on that run and is available at 33/1. The question is the ground but he has a win on heavy to his name though hindsight shows he was well in that day

    Handicaps, handicaps

    Big difference. In handicaps horses are conceding or receiving weight relative to others based on human perception, i.e. the BHA or HRI, which offers an increased chance of deception to the less scrupulous connections.

    Hurdling or Chasing

    I can’t believe that the wild notion of Constitution Hill going for the QMCC (assuming he goes chasing at all) after what would be a maximum of 3 runs over fences, and skipping a full novice campaign has somehow stretched to 4 pages. The lull between Cheltenham & Aintree…

    What are you watching

    Agree with Euro. Season 1 was good enough but it improved every season thereafter. The same as Better Call Saul where the first season was confusing and a touch weird. By the penultimate season it was on a par with Breaking Bad. I enjoyed the last season but felt it had a couple of weak episodes.

    Hurdling or Chasing

    Finian’s Rainbow was far from fav, IIRC Sizing Europe went off odds on. And honestly Fist, name me one example when Nicky has put money before the protection of his horses and thrown a novice straight into the deep end. Constitution Hill may or may not go chasing next year but he won’t be...

    Hurdling or Chasing

    Altior was the age Constitution Hill will be next season and Sprinter just a year younger. I simply don’t get why people seem so confident he’ll duck a novice season. It’s not like he’s an 8 or 9 year old.

    Hurdling or Chasing

    “Seriously” ?. The Turners and Arkle are worth the same but you’re assuming that if he does go chasing he’ll be running in G1 open races within 5 months as opposed to a novice campaign. Thats a big assumption. Imagine heaven forbid he fell and was injured or worse, having had only a couple of...

    Affordability checks

    Brutal that mate. I had a “funny” experience just before Cheltenham, not quite an affordability check but I was bored one evening and came across a bookie called LiveScoreBet that were offering 2 x £10 Free Bets when staking your first £10 Bet. I had 10 minutes to kill so opened the account and...

    Hurdling or Chasing

    If they have eyes on the 2025 Gold Cup, which would seem the most obvious year if they decide to go chasing, then the 6/1 about him winning next years Turners makes more appeal than 7/2 the Arkle or 10/1 the QMCC. It may not be quite as prestigious as the Arkle but it’s a short term thing and...

    Doesn’t mention him, he goes for Al Mubhir & Wanees.

    Lincoln Handicap 1/04/2023

    Not a race I’d normally go silly over but I had a strong word (from a very reliable source) for Jimi Hendrix so took the 20s
