a snatch like a bear trap

They hadnt much to begin with, but since brian gleeson put himself into matt chapmans interview with jp mcmanus, the chemistry seems to have gone through the floor

Funny to see the current prices on Betfair and contrast them with the bookies boards at the course. BF offering 20 or more (less deduction) bar the top 2 in the Champion Hurdle. All the course bookies offering 10/12/14 on Melon, Elgin, Yorkhill, Wicklow Brave!

irish_major · 13-03-2018 03:12PM

I've backed John Constable each way here, maybe he's slightly over-priced. Really hope to see faugheen back to himself.

Rock Lesnar · 13-03-2018 03:16PM

Gotta a free bet with PP, put it ew on mick jazz

Has to be done to stop them going overbroke in the place market. Especially with a 1/2 fav in the race.

If they offered the same price as betfair theyd be basically offering 4/1+ a place on the rest of the runners. Which is not a good business plan.:pac:

akelly02 · 13-03-2018 03:20PM

9/2 the machine. please god

krustydoyle · 13-03-2018 03:20PM

Plenty of EW money around for Elgin and Melon

Jim Gazebo · 13-03-2018 03:21PM

On Wicklow Brave E/W here at 20/1 since about 3 weeks ago.

Slattsy · 13-03-2018 03:21PM

How on earth did Beware The Bear finish 4th there. Unbelievable where he came from.

Wicklow Brave here lads. Hopefully. BD overrated (there i said it)

kiers47 · 13-03-2018 03:24PM

Is there a better hurdler in the field than Buveur Dair.
I dont get the negatives on him. He is short enough for me and I wont be betting. But jesus he is a joy to watch over a hurdle. Hope he hacks up.

STB. · 13-03-2018 03:25PM

ID Thief was 100/1 this morning.....now 50/1.

Surely its only each way thieves who are backing this former fighting fifth winner, who was second to VVM back in Nam.

Didactic Ninja · 13-03-2018 03:25PM

elgin for me. air drinker to get turned over

gazza1 · 13-03-2018 03:26PM

A few pennies on Identity Thief at 50s in the wo market PP

Itziger · 13-03-2018 03:27PM

I'd be a tiny bit worried that the Mullins gang could do a job on BD here (if I had money on the fave)

1.30 - Mengli Khan 14/1 e/w.

Price looks too big, should enjoy the hill.

2.10 Footpad

Can't see him being beat.

2.50 Cogry 16/1

One who'll love the conditions at a price.

3.30 Mick Jazz 40/1 e/w

Hopefully pick up the pieces late on and sneak a place, cant see Buveur D'air being beat.

4.10 Will probably throw Apples Jade into a double with Footpad.

Nothing for the last two.

Yes Micky J. :cool:

Decent day so far.

Auroras_encore · 13-03-2018 03:37PM

Just proves buvear dair is no superstar but we knew that already, you don't get annihilated in a supreme and be anything special

superfurry1 · 13-03-2018 03:37PM

Really frustrating

Chesty08 · 13-03-2018 03:38PM

2 placed out of 2 so far from Gordon Elliott!
I'll be following him closely.
Apples Jade
Mossback / Jury Duty
De Plotting Shed / Tycoon Prince
left to go today

You dont win 2 champion hurdles without being close to a superstar.

posturingpat · 13-03-2018 03:42PM

Any chance Mick jazz gets a little credit for another fine run?

kiers47 · 13-03-2018 03:43PM

Labaik the moral winner of the 2018 champion hurdle.

Wonder why CAB didnt give him the go ahead to run :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Jim Gazebo · 13-03-2018 03:43PM

Disappointing run from Wicklow Brave, made a good run but came from so far back (last) and couldn't finish! On La Bague au Roi in the next, then Jury Duty and Testify. All e/w/. Apples Jade also.
