Capadanno in the GC at 40/1. Has won his last two races at Punchestown.
Yes, an interesting one Chaumi.I'm liking the look of Sequestered at 40-1 generally, 50 B3. A couple of mistakes at Leop in Maxxum's race possibly stopped him getting closer there. RP says nearest finish, but that seems slightly over-generous to my eye, difficult to see because he was out of shot till the line. Seemed to finish fresh-looking, though. Perhaps ridden too patiently, came from near the back from around 2 out. Might have been too soft in the Martin Pipe and this 3 miles on better ground could be just right given a clear round. If they go hard, I'm hoping the Malinas blood will help him finish strongly.
Agreed, Yorick. Evidence suggests it was a deliberate 'out the back' run, with the seeming intention to try and pick them off at the end. I guess we do have to consider the (I would say outside) possibility it was a 'don't necessarily want to win' run, too.
Shortened a little in the last couple of hours. But took some money at the bigger prices on the Exchange on the morning of the MP, too, before drifting out a bit later on.
I do suspect connections believe he's well up to winning this. Just will 20 odd other runners agree?!
4th but I'm gutted.i was sure I'd backed maxxum as well but I can't find it.I'm going against Maxxum tomorrow 635 P with its stablemate WILL DO 33/1
When maxxum won will do was going well until a poor jump 2 out knocked him back
He's since finished behind maxxum again but weakened on heavy.
13lb pull for that run when maxxum won must give him a chance especially if its good to soft.
Ha we have similar thoughts, DO.
A few longshots I fancy (and have backed) today:
NWM 1.45 - Desert Cop 33/1, 5 places, BOG - owes me so has to carry some sickness insurance. He looked really set to go places early last season but the wheels fell off. He might be one of those that disappoints at three before returning to form the following season and the booking of Murphy catches the eye. I can’t let 33s go unbacked.
That's the way to start the day,brilliant D.A few longshots I fancy (and have backed) today:

NWM 4.10 - Geremia 20/1 - no longer qualifies for the thread but I took the price last night. 5lbs clear on my figures so the 20s were probably always wrong. Currently 10s tops, so it seems others realise it's well in [on its best form].
THSK 2.40 - Cruyff Turn 33/1, 5 places, BOG - Deep down I suspect today isn't the day and that maybe the Dante meeting will be where he hits form and he's only backed as a saver to small stakes but his OR peaked at 100 the season before last and he won off 91 last summer. He's off 90 today but, as I say, I think something like the Hambleton, if he makes the cut, could be the early season aim so I have no strong expectations today.
