Yeah, I don't bother this time of year unless I see something like Un De Sceaux 2/1. The bookies will be tripping over themselves to get people betting with them.

Backstreet Moyes

My big hope for Un De Sceaux is Vautour goes to the Arkle so i can get a better price on him.

Backstreet Moyes

Some small fun accum's done awhile ago that i at least have got value once they turn up.

€5 double
Peace and Co 3/1
Douvan 5/1

€1.25 trixie
Peace and Co 9/2
The young Master 16/1
Faugheen 2/1

€2 acc
Peace and Co 9/2
Vautour 9/4
Un De Sceaux 3/1
Douvan 6/1

Having looked at the Supreme field i seriosly reckon backing Douvan to win and Lami Serge e/w is the way to make serious cash. Probably, on current form and ratings the worst Supreme ever.

Im hoping some bookie goes money back if second to Douvan then it would be ideal to lump on both.

Im all for taking on favourites but genuinely cant see anything in the race to take them on with. Its a terrible race.

Maybe a big price each way shot could run well but on form there's zero there!

Ground the only concern for me. Think him and the second fav could both be very good. they will be together at the last and be clear of the rest by a distance.

Slattsy

Cheltenham a week earlier this year, ground could be that bit softer. See on the day, both could want soft!!

True. Douvan a 1/2 shot on soft

Give over. He's still got plenty to prove and will be bigger than current price on day, regardless of ground

Slattsy

Wont be much bigger than 2/1 on the day i reckon. 9/4 maybe

jimjamcos

9/4 probably about right but think some book will go 5/2 (probably for about 5mins) in the morning. Way I look at it is bookies will be happy to lay Douvan in the knowledge plenty will reinvest any winnings in other Mullins shorties through week. They'll have plenty of chances to get it back

Slattsy

First fav they might not be so brave !! There's nothing i nthe race, its not like there's a load of 5-10 shots in there, its an awful race!

Fair enough I was exaggerating for effect. I still think its a straight shoot out between the top 2. He will deffinatly be bigger on the day I think he will touch 5/2 at some point. I have nothing on him and may just back the 2nd fav each way but with the right bookie offer for the race I may be tempted to plough into both.

FWIW Slattsy there is only a day in the diff, festival began on 11th last year, just in case you were going to have a bet on this premise!

Cheers. Didn't even check!
Weather seems fairly unsettled so ground might well be on the soft side.

Got a phone call from a friend for martello tower in the albert bartlett
Value seems to be gone,we all backed it @16/1.10,s in powers now and best price last time i looked was 14,s in ladbrooks.could be worth a nibble if anyones interested

Slattsy

Yeah i had him on a shortlist for the race. Real stayer.

gooseygander

I think horse with huge chance is Belton for triumph hurdle, horse with serious pace and is a bit under the radar. But as everybody knows, there is no soft touches at this meeting.

gooseygander

Damn autocorrect, BELTOR

Slattsy

Was mighty impressive alright and possibly still big at 8s.

Hardly under the rader,the way he won the adonis has brought him to the attention of a lot of people.
