Well done. You knew. I did my best to talk you out of it!
Great call, OTB.I think Gordon Lord Byron has a chance of turning over Croisultan. On ratings he has a fair bit to find but he is on a steep upward curve as against Croisultan who rarely runs two races in a row.
Edit: GLB is 5/4 w/o with Powers which is a bet.
An even darker one might be Moscow Treat in the same race. Unlucky in running fourth on his penultimate start in Dundalk and subsequently travelled well enough through what looks a decent Navan handicap before failing to pick up. Since been dropped a sharp-looking 12lbs. Back with O'Donnell as well and Heffernan booked from a decent-looking draw.
In these sort of races I'd far rather be having a speculative punt at 20's than having a decent bet on something towards the front of the market. Looks a card to treat with caution on the whole.

Monteball wins the last. I suggest they go to The Hibernian Hotel for drinks with their winnings and mention my name (working class hero).
Right Strategy was stopped in his tracks the last day and made up about thirty lenghts late - no world beater but 20/1 is probably on the large side in a very mediocre looking race..
What a hilarious thread! Why do people bet on UK racing when they don't decide the result until the end of the race....
Amazing stuff. on the basis of this where should I send family members next week.
Well done and thanks!
