Welsh National 22

[chaumi]

20 will go to post.

Hard to tell whether Royale Pagaille will run, but seems a logical runner if Venetia has him fit

Nicholl's Secret Investor won't go if it's soft.

Fortescue, I'd think unlikely, believe the plan is to keep to novice hurdles, possibly right up to the National.

Escaria Ten (targeted, I think), Threeunderthrufive, The Big Dog, all seem very likely.


Others I can't second guess, and would need 8 or so others to come out to get longish-time fancy Rapper to the start.

Any viewpoints? The current cashout on Rapper seems tempting, I suspect he won't make it.

Royal Pagaille is also among the 6 day confirmations for the King George.

hmmm maybe Venetia has aspirations for a 1-2, and possibly thinks RP would never give around a stone to Quick Wave at Chepstow and get away with it.

Do you have the decs, archie?

 

[archie]

Not decs, they are only confirmations at this stage and it's a 12.00 deadline.

So far, no supplementary entries and 9 confirmations. The 4 not confirmed as yet are Noble Yeats, Pic D'orhy, Protektorat and Red Happy.

Confirmations for the Welsh National are 12.00 tomorrow.

When Lydia said to Rich Ricci about Royal Pigalle and the king george he said Really,do you think he could win a king george.
It didnt seem it was on the agenda but its cut up badly and if it turned up heavy who knows.

 

[Beef or Salmon]

Had Eva's Oscar and The Rapper for this, trainer all but ruled Eva's Oscar out yesterday, got to cash out for a small profit, think The Rapper will just about sneak in

 

[Outsider]

I've done two a/p so I hope they at least run.

royal pigalle 20/1
Musical slave 33/1

Bet should be refunded if a horse is balloted out.

All these years, and I never knew. Wet behind the ears. But would that extend to the returns from an EW treble? All going on Rapper. Or do they just return the initial stake?

 

[Desert Orchid]

Pretty sure Rapper would be deemed a non-runner so those rules would apply, ie you should get the ew returns on the double.

 

[archie]

Keeping an eye on the confirmations. As it stands, 24 confirmed not​ including Royal Pagaille or Rapper. Still an hour and a quarter to go.

 

[archie]

I make it 26 confirmations. No confirmation for Royal Pagaille or Rapper. Escaria Ten top weight as it stands.

 

[chaumi]

We will just have to fill boots with Rapper another day

That would make Rapper a loser, hope you cashed out Chaumi

Sadly no, but that was the calculated risk.

I will be mildly p!ssed if it turns out Henry just forgot, though

 

[Desert Orchid]

Rapper is an ante-post loser for me too, in that case.

Them's the chances we take.

Thanks for the updates; although I completely forgot to check the thread this morning.

I assume that the confirmations aren't available to Joe Public?

In any case I'm guessing that Bet365 suspend cash-out anyway (not sure about PP/BF who aren't as keen)?

 

[Desert Orchid]

The 'confirmations' refer to the 5-day decs, which are now up on the RP site.

 

[chaumi]

I'd say all this leaves your Musical Slave as very interesting, Outsider. But Daly left Fortescue in, which has completely thrown me.

 

[Desert Orchid]

By the way, are they forecasting heavy rain for Chepstow between now and Tuesday?

I noticed earlier today the ground was described as 'good'.

 

[chaumi]

blue drops on all the weather forecasts that I can see, from tonight up to at least Boxing Day. Good ground at Chepstow in late December? wt?!!

 

[ep1987]

The 'confirmations' refer to the 5-day decs, which are now up on the RP site.

I meant the 'live' updates; though their usefulness is somewhat moot if the bookies offering antepost cashout suspend it anyway while that's going on.
