If you change your mind on it Marble, I'll put the mortgage on VDR - [emoji24] Ginge

So far everything is going to plan, Geoffrey. :)

Sounds like Vyta may have been redirected to The Becher or Rehearsal Chase so we've already had a bit of luck, that Nicky's kept his word about running him in this!

All the money since the decs has been for Genie In A Bottle and Vyta Du Roc, with both touching single-figures in places, and starting to look short enough now.

Hezz, re Charli Parcs, I am planning on slamming into him if he is declared, but not heard a peep about whether or not he is an intended runner, I'm afraid.

Wait for a statement from Frank Berry and assume the exact opposite.

Going back to the main event, I'm in the Singlefarmpayment camp as well.

Tell you what, if this was a flat race I would be all-in on SFP. He's so solid.

I also like Genie in the Bottle though.
 
Mild worry with Genie is he likes to make it. Front-runners have a decent-enough record in the race, so it's more a personal preference - but you need to be spot-on for pace, to last all the way home.
 
Is it me or is Double Ross a big each way price for a well handicapped horse from a yard that's on fire?
 
He’s an 11yo who hasn’t yet won over this far, Paul. Can’t have him.

He certainly prefers to be ridden handily but probably doesn't need to make the running. They're going to go a good pace and as long as he gets into a good rhythm in the first four or so, he should be ok. While I wouldn't go overboard, Mala Beach winning on Sunday does the form no harm (I know Mala beach had been off for over 500 days but, A Genie in Abottle was also having his first run of the season and he has needed it historically). I think your 20/1 is looking a sound bet Grassy.
 
Warren Greatrex isn't doing so badly either, Missed Approach goes in deep waters but I suspect he'll enjoy carrying almost nothing than being top-weight like he was at end of last season in the Scottish National. At 33s just need him to run to his mark and he'll be thereabouts.

Hills have gone 7 places, 1/5 odds on the AP market.

Hi Lee, hope you're well,......does this mean I get these terms on the bet (each way) I placed on Vyta with them at 25's three weeks ago?

After all these years of talking shite on Talking horses, I still don't know enough about anti-post betting! :

Thanks Maurice, well I'm 1/4 odds the first four then, as I thought.

Very much looking forward to the race. I've got £40 each way at 25's which is more than enough for me.

I hope the horse can do the talking.

I'm good thanks Martin, I hope life's treating you well and the luck is in. I can't get a bet on with them if it's any consolation but I'd imagine at least SkyBet will be offering 7 places too so I'll hold fire, although I reckon I'll need 10 places with faller insurance just to stand a chance.

I like your position on VDR and was tempted a while back but he's been a cliff horse for me so I decided I was going to cut the chord and step back from the cliff. He has a right chance though but the price has largely gone.

Total Recall is the serious fly in the ointment based on that Munster nash performance and I've a feeling he'll be available at a backable price on the morning. If I can get 7+ with those sort of place terms then he'll be my main bet with an e/w on Double Ross. If I can't and he remains no bigger than 5/1 then I may edge back towards the cliff :D
