There is definitely something robotic about these JP-inspired gambles which happen at this time every year. The momentum seems even more pronounced than usual, due no doubt to McCoy's impending retirement, and it's hard to think of a horse of his that hasn't been backed.
McCoy is not going to benefit from one of those 'last-few-rides' tap-ins, that have happened over the years (allegedly). This is Cheltenham, and there will be absolutely no gimmes - yet these horse's are being backed as if one of them is a certified nudge-nudge-wink-wink job - and all you need to do is back them blind and you can't miss. They are rank bad value, and it will at least make some elbow-room in the market, for horses with much better chances.
