    Jaysus, we're flat out in here. :pac:

    Can't wait for the next race. King Fontaine has a lively outside chance imo.

    Not really one for backing horse's, but seen a link someone posted on here earlier in the week for http://tipsterform.com/in-prog/ thought i'd give it a bash and 2 from 2 so far!

    Need some advice lads..

    Have a lucky 15 with 2 winners

    Al Ferof WIN
    Finians Rainbow Place
    Bensalem WIN

    my fourth horse is Quevaga is the 4.40 at evens

    Should Quevaga win, I win around €287

    What dya reckon is the best way to hedge this bet?

    PP have an option to back anyone but Quevaga to win at 8/13
    or should I lay at betfair at 2.01??

    Lay on BF would be better. You're getting evens on her not winning,rather than 8/13

    yeah indeed, I must transfer the cash over for that so.

    How much to lay? €140 lay means guaranteed profit of 140 regardless of win or lose. The Mares hurdle are always a bit of a lottery so maybe I should lay more or does anyone know if Quevaga is a sure thing and should only lay a small amount??

    I think she'll be incredibly hard to beat.

    Remember there'll be a commission on betfair too.

    Agreed, I think it'll be very tough to beat her but you should play it safe and be sensible and lock in some profit. (Mind you that's probably not what I'd do but...)

    I did the same too but last night they only had 15 of the 16 listed so I added Gagewell Flyer as my 16th. Also, they had Golden Silver listed but changed between last night and this morning.

    They added Maljimar in the cross country as their 16th and changed Golden Silver to Bara Fundle in the Pertemps.
