The Mullins accies

On that run, I'd have to agree. It wasn't anything special in terms of the margin of victory or rating achieved but I wouldn't rush to blame the course.

He's a smashing big specimen of a horse with a beautiful stride that will be well suited to the demands of the Supreme much more than the way the Kempton race unfolded.

I wouldn't be betting on that being the case DO. Note what Nicky said after Kempton "I've always thought he'd win a flat race"

When he ran at Chelters he was lucky to come out on top and never impressed many. Least of all the bookies

No doubt in my mind his narrow win is what convinced him that he would be better suited to Kempton than Sandown and the plan was hatched for him to go to Kempton while the stables then number 1 hope would take in the Tolworth hurdle a race worth twice as much.

Best laid plans don't always work out and a runny nose meant Buveur Dair would miss the Tolworth.

Your man has now decided to send Altior back to Kempton and try and grab the prize money the Dovecot and that would worry me big time.

Very few of his Dovecot runners over the last 10 years have ended up running in the Supreme and those that did were no hopers.

Add "I've always thought he'd win a flat race" + Kempton too close to Cheltenham + his last 10 runners haven't produced a Supreme winner + more than half never even tried = Altior misses the festival and goes to Aintree must be on Nicky's mind and he's an expert at getting his own way.

With extra places your hand is forced! I did e/w multiples on your selections all year and did more than well!

I seem to remember the best one was a win treble though

Place odds are on the far right.

Great debate, and I agree with Slim re ew multiples. It's my most profitable bet.

Back to Tanlic's original post, and with that point on mind, I won't be backing the Mullins win multiples or accas. I'll be backing ew multiples against the Mullins favourites. That's where the value is, and they will most likely be my most profitable Festival bets as they have been for nine of the last ten years. The exception being the Naiad Du Misselot/Silver Jaro year in 2008 which some on here helped me celebrate!

Sorry. Didn't see Slims new thread before I posted this.
