The 2024 'Should Be Odds-on' Thread

I'll have a good look at the race and reply, viking.

BO did fiddle a couple but nothing dramatic (imo) so my disappointment at the run centres around why it didn't show anything from approaching the home turn.

I have to conclude it just wasn't fit (don't know how it looked beforehand) or wasn't letting itself down on the ground but it was a very long way below form and when it won over hurdles at the track it fairly scooted up the hill so it does have a finishing kick which wasn't there.

My guess is that another race is the plan but which?

The Hennessy?
The Ultima?
The Grand National?

It has now qualified for the GN and will be a second-season 8yo novice, the ideal type. If they get its mark down to 147 (from yesterday's 154) he'll get in at the bottom of the weights.
 
I hadn’t appreciated at the time but Ruby’s analysis on ITv which I watched back later showed that the horse was taking an extra stride at almost every fence. So it’s a jumping issue rather than being unfit IMO

Anyway you may be right and he’s being readied for something else but I’ll say no more
 
Bet 365 were offering 13/8 Wonder Legend on the 6.15 at Southwell. It never lasted long as of ever there was a point an go certainty it's this one...horse has a tremendous turn of foot and was a bit below par last time. I suggest you grab the evens with bet365:horse should be 4/7 at best.
