    Massive odds on punt landed on Arsenal.

    Pinnacle tweeted earlier that they'd been backed from 2.29 to 2.07 -1.5. Straight up win price collapsed too

    Long run could be a clever bet in the punchestown gold cup. I wouldn't be surprised if he ran badly to reduce his mark for the national in the races that led up to it this season

    Chemical Nicky might be bent, but handicapping a Gold Cup winner would possibly be a step too far, even for him!

    Are you and Aidan one and the same?!?! Or have a private hotline?? You two regularly put up exactly the same horses. Twice in the past week iirc.

    Just the kind of horses we back, well handicapped dropping down the weights.

    I don't know, if you think about it. The waley-cohens wanted a gold cup winner then a grand national winner..they knew he wouldn't have a chance in winning the gold cup again so perfect time to try the national even though he would never get around

    That race will definitely break up. Can't see FL running to merits again.
    Also the champion chase could break up.
    Put a nice 98/1 double on long run and sizing Europe

    Punt on City even at short prices. Pinnacle have been well short of Betfair price all day but Tweeted a while back that City had lengthened -2.5

    13 hours seems like a lifetime ago. I have a pulse and a roof over my head. But a stonking head. Two hundred fathoms, whiskey barrel aged imperial stout. Strictly by the glass. Drink in moderation.

    Did Our Mick run a decent race recently? I remember thinking he was just gone at the game after being pulled up a load of times but can't remember if he ran again.

    Yeah showed plenty behind Duke of Lucca when going off too hard in front at Ascot. Been given a big chance by the handicapper.


    Have found a max bet for tomorrow. Dare I say it, one of the best handicapped horses in racing.

    Thinking that Swansea are maximum bet material.

    Playing well without winning and will be busting a gut to win at St. James's park for the second year running. Would be a fourth win in a row against Newcastle. A win would see them pretty much safe.

    Newcastle have been poor at home this season and might be on a mental holiday as they have little to play for.

    2.75 is just about an acceptable price.
