    The 2025 Ladbrokes Handicap Hurdle

    Was the SP of 15/2 too skinny or big for you, DO? I looked closely at Wilful a few days after Danny's post, but the ante post price of about 9/2 I thought was really punitive. The SP of 15/2 made more sense. Thankfully I saw bigger prices today and had a saver on.

    Backing Venetia Williams' Chasers In November with Andrew Mount

    It's been a bloodbath of a day for me. To say The Famous Five needed the run must be the understatement of the millennium. I suppose with Venetia's horses in such poor form this was a highly likely scenario, but boy oh boy, I wasn't expecting it to be tailed off on the run to the first fence...

    The 2025 Silver Cup Handicap Chase

    I hope someone had Deep Cave. I remember backing him at Cheltenham early last season, when he was fifth, and I was convinced he didn't look fit in the parade ring beforehand, (after I'd placed my bet).. Hence I was bit peed off with the trainer that day so just put this horse on ignore ever...

    The 2025 Silver Cup Handicap Chase

    We've got Ben Linfoot And Matthew Brocklebank of the Sporting Life on side, Pawras. Does this make one any more confident? Err, no. It's just too hot a renewal. Best of luck to Pic Roc, Blow Your Wad and Venetia William's backers. And the rest too. This can't be another Glengouly race can...

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    Looks like good money for the three Hector Crouch ridden horses at Southwell today. The good prices have obviously gone but the horses don't know that. 1.40 Taranjerine 2.15 Emma's Letter 3.25 Imola See how he does, I've put them in a yankee.

    The 2025 Silver Cup Handicap Chase

    With all the major contenders standing their ground this looks a hot race on paper doesn't it. I would genuinely be pleased if my fella could place in the first four. He'll need to come right back to his best and then improve another 7-10lb to win it though. I'm hopeful but not confident. I...

    Backing Venetia Williams' Chasers In November with Andrew Mount

    Declared and races off the bottom weight. Let's see if he's good enough.

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    Cheers, I got 10/1, but I doubt it was my money that brought it into SP of 9/2. Happy it won anyway.

    Talking Horses Ante-Post Competition 25/26 December selections

    I think it was a big step up on form in the Grade 2 the last day, Slim. A respectable third or fourth place in the big novice hurdle at Leopardstown on December 27th will do nicely, and his trainer can then hopefully unleash him to handicap company in March. It's an audacious plan, but the...

    Job done then, looking forward to final declarations for Saturday tomorrow now.

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    Ludlow 3.30 Masked Dance - The front two in the betting are too short I reckon, and I don't believe this is a two horse race. I think Masked Dance is a fair old price and she can win, provided she handles the slightly longer trip, which looking at her prior runs, I think she will.

    Ante Post jumps discussion thread 2025/26

    That's a good point, but he wouldn't be the first trainer to run one in a non-handicap where his horse was wrong at the weights, and he certainly won't be the last. Just look at Kihavah in the 2024 Fighting Fifth Hurdle! The market for Saturday has corrected itself a bit today I see. Edit -...

    The 2025 Silver Cup Handicap Chase

    He's now in to 16/1 best price, your appraisal clearly making a difference, Paw.

    The 2025 Silver Cup Handicap Chase

    Cheers for that info. He's got some sort of chance on the book hasn't he? The calibre of the opposition looks really high though, with lively contenders and opposition already mentioned on this thread. I think quotes of 20/1 are quite big, but once I put something up, they always drift, you can...
