Thyestes Chase

UrbanSea

It's a tough race to call but I think I'm siding with Some Target in this at 16's

Start me Up has been the money horse this week for it.

Bob Lingo at a big price for me 33/1 ATM. Travelled well in the paddy power before being caught out for pace after the last. Hell love the softer ground here..

Possibly Glam Gerry for me, potentially unexposed, looks like a typical handicap job by Murphy. Pulled off a big gamble in Leopardstown over xmas with an extremely easy win, hopefully the handicappers been fair. Best price 10s with Will Hill.

Very little decent course form evident looking through the runners, which makes it tougher to pick one.

Be interesting too see which, if any, of the Mullins horses are backed heavily, decent record in this race 3 wins since 2000 at his local course.

Not the hotest renewal of the thyestes plenty of fairly exposed types in there. I reckon its surely between the first 4or5 in the betting everything else looks to be well under the handicappers thumb. Ill prob have a small bet on Adams Island. Back him the last day what looks to be a fairly alright race in leopardstown. Ran a decent 3rd where they were 8 clear of the 4th. He should be well tuned for the job and has BG on board.

Although ladbrokes go 8/1 c/f 6. most other bookies are 8/1 top 2 then 10's upwards. Way to stick yer necks out ladbrokes!!

The Bishop Looney and Ruby's mount - Shakervillz. I'll take both of them for even stakes.

Rivage D'Or for me, and a few quid on Smoking Aces if he gets in as a reserve

Big Daddy Cool

Nulty

So between us, we have:

Some Target
Bob Lingo
Glam Gerry
Adams Island
Shakervilz
The Bishop Looney
Rivage D'Or
Smoking Aces
and Jack The Bus

9 of them!

Don't think it'll be too nice, he'll easily go up 20lbs for that

@Urban

He'll go up from 125 to low to mid 140s, great weight for Aintree and nearly guaranteed a run.

I hate to see horses slamming a handicap field like that, that was no mickey mouse race.

I'd stick him up to a rating in the mid fifties

Just because the horse was very well in for this doesn't mean you can totally hammer him altogether. That performance doesn't warrant anything like a mid 50 mark.

UrbanSea

Glam Gerry was put up 22 pounds for his last win and that win deserves more than that.

It warrants that mark for me, you won't see a grade A handicap won much easier

finbarrk

Has to be considered for Aintree.

Put up 18lbs to 144 seems about right to me
