Other than Lord WIndermere the mind is a spin with choice's. Don Poli is a stayer,Hidden Cycone is not good enough to win,Petite Parisienne is slow,Paint The Clouds is very small for these fences,my opinion only.

Oscars Well.

Just had a speculative tenner on Ballycasey in the Ryanair at 95 on the exchanges

bohsman

Pet Par is anything but slow imo, Don Poli I'm not happy with the bet, might lay it off, put it on on a whim. Fairly happy with small e/w bets on the rest, prices have gone the right direction for a few of them at this stage.

krustydoyle

Have done a few more than usual this year but some of them have gone to pot.

Jezki 6/1 CH

Un Temps Pour Tout 12/1 WH

Kitten Rock 50/1 CH

On His Own 33/1 GC

Silvinanco Conti 12/1 GC

Tell Us More 16/1 Neptune

Bellshill 20/1 Bumper

Stars Over The Sea 16/1 WH (Gone at this stage as hes around 50's now)

sting60

OK replying to a million messages(private) the biggest bet ever is 6/1 Jezki to be placed around 6/4 serious play to investment.

Gregk961

Just to temper enthusiasm-Everybody and their dog seems to be on jezki this year. Every year there is the usual bankers nonsense which is always a disaster, but the other side of the coin is the so called "shrewd angles" I.E Jezki this year, which are generally no more succesful.

Dont get me wrong Ive had him backed for a couple of months now but its not the certainty to place people are making it out to be. Its a really great (or very bad if your a layer) ew bet but thats it. Wouldnt go taking out a loan on it, plenty of dogs in behind who would love to run on into the places if jezki gets it wrong.

Apart from you sting of course. I know you the man, get your caravan on the basterd.

NaiveMelodies

Champion Chase- Mr Mole 33/1- now 10s
Bumper- Moon Racer 12/1- still 12s
Ryanair-Cue Card 10/1- now 6s
4 Miler- The Job is Right 25/1- now 20s
Gold Cup Djakadam 16/1 - now 12s
Neptune- Alvisio Ville 16/1 - now 25s
World- Monksland 16/1- still 16s

A winner from the above and I'll be happy! No major money down and I still can't see myself going in big on anything at this stage.
The handicaps are where the value lies now I'd imagine.

One big disappointment for me is that I didn't take a nice price on Don Cossack earlier in the season, huge fan and I think there might of been 20s plus around after his first run back.

Doubts about appearance, if he's going anywhere Paddy Power strongly suggesting it is the Supreme. Stands to reason, Gigginstown have nobody for it and they have Outlander for the Neptune. Mullins also said McKinley for the Neptune.

Thanks, they look nice ets now but ive had odd stinker like champagne west whos out, also had a good bet on josses hill ew at 9/1 and 16/1 a while ago so i just hope he places to get my cash back but not sure he will.

Holywell gold cup 12/1 i did in sept ew but honestly thought that bet was doomed before his last run.

I'm rooting for you.

Backstreet Moyes

When backing ante post i rarely throw much on until horses become NRNB so just small bets hoping for value. Mad to look at some rounding off the account €1 accum's months ago that look alright now. Their have been a few wrote off especially my largest bet on Aurora which proves the point of keeping it small ante post.

Just looking €1 acc Douvan 6/1, Un De Sceaux 3/1, Vaotuor 11/4 and Peace and Co 9/2 would have been nice to have a bit more on.
