2:00 SUPREME NOVICES' HURDLE
Deep Purple 23/1

3:15 SMURFIT CHAMPION HURDLE
Catch Me 12.5/1

From reading here and listening to dodgy tips from friends.

johnnysmurfman

My tip is Harchibald to be out of the first 3. I think this is possibly lay of the century. I can pick at least 5 horses who are miles ahead of him on the book and he needs to pull out a top drawer performance to even be placed. I'm not backing anything to win the race, but I think Sizing Europe is a very worth favourite and I'd give him every chance. Harchibald is quite simply very much past his best and he'll be found out today.

meriwether

I do like the look of deep purple in the first.
Ive fancied him for a while, and havent backed him.

This is possible the biggest garbage ive read here this festival, you cant find 5 horses ahead of him because on the book he has performances that are ahead of the rest of the field by a considerable amount. The only thing that could stop him is the ground, if not nothing will beat him by more than a couple of lengths.

careca

Rippling Ring in the first. Thought his first run was impressive and Nicholls has talked him up big time in the RP today.

Opposing Noland, too short for what he has done. Going with Hobbs' Ring the Boss (little coincidence double with ring in the first also )

Sizing europe - for obvious reasons.

Askazar in the last. Cooper's horse could prove a real danger but I had a nice bet on Askazar on Sat so he owes me nothing.

Good luck all and enjoy it.

these are my first 3 bets also.

great minds and all that

while noland is very hard to oppose on what I've seen so far the price is a bit too skinny for me

depending on how the first 2 run today I'll probably be backing breedsbreeze tomorrow

meriwether

Ive just read Trainbairns bets:

Pasco - supreme Novices
Ebaziyan - CH
Moon Over Miami - Arkle
Bob Hall - WH
Jacks Craic - XC

Cant remember last one.

Here mine for today!

Clopf 8/1 Arkle
Kyber Kim 7/1 (Supreme Novices)
Osana (11/2) CH

Good luck one and all

I'm talking about recent form, he has none of any note. Anyway, you disagree and that's fair enough, we'll know after the race, but I have laid him for the place at 13/8 and 7/4 to lose in excess of 900 euro, I think he's past it and will be retired after he runs a stinker, but that's just my opinion and I accept yours too. My bet of the Festival is Carruthers and I've taken 5/1.

Fair play, you've put your money where your mouth is.

mdwexford

Yeah aside from the Grade 1 hurdle he won in December he has none :rolleyes:

You better pray that ground is too soft for him sir or i fear you will not be a happy man after the race.

For what its worth here is my pick.

2-00 pigeon island
2-35 colpf

He's treated as a non-runner.

If my memory serves me correctly, a Canadian is a Lucky 31 minus the singles.

So, the stakes with KH in it will be divided among the other stakes.
Your 5 timer becomes a 4 timer, etc.

captain cee bee wins

death1234567

I had snap tie for the place in the first, only small profit though cos I had pigeon island for the win and he bombed.

Going to go EW on Moon Over Miami in the next, Don't fancy Noland at current price (although I wouldn't lay it either).

mdwexford

First two looked very good, Binocular could be some horse next year when he strengthens up.

One down... next one should go well!!

Dont think it will win however, Ebaziyan hasnt a chance in my eye but heres to hoping, just need one more for a bit of money back!!!

kenco

First two very impressive indeed and should come on nicely. Interestingly Ted Walsh reckons the winner could over fences next year...

Pasco last apparently. Pigeon Island very dissappointing

Pasco 2nd last.

Pigeon Island was out of gas coming round the bend They went a fair aul lick in fairness. I thought Geraghty had it coming round the bend then the front two clicked another gear and he was left standing :eek:
