Thanks mate, you too

You too Sandy

Some man! Well done Chris, appreciate the support mate 👊🏻

Cheers

Hey, no worries, you’re welcome

Clearly by design and targeting this race

Proper chance, good luck

All the best mate

Honestly I could be on almost all of them!

Nicholls has said that this was an afterthought which doesn’t sound so good really but think it’s a race I’d rather swerve from betting and enjoy watching

@ nice one, good luck Dave!

Yeah agreed. Possibly held for win purposes but couldn’t be certain

@ poor run disappointed with that Dave.

Oi Oi Jerry

Yeah not a bad shout that, smaller outlay for reasonable reward. Expect most to go in by the looks of it but obviously doesn’t always work out like that

Enjoy Scott! Have a great time there

@@Cheltmental looking forward to trials day can't make the meeting now due to work 😔

Brutal! Well trials day be a belter anyway

Yeah hopefully learn alot more next time out

Thanks Mark, really appreciate the kind words and even more-so at the moment.

Hi Dave, hang on in there you are far too good to fail at what you are doing now. You have to keep going regardless of what life throws at you. I’m 5 weeks in from major back surgery ( 2 t/ lift fusion ) the first to weeks were horrendous but you just have to take it, like a really bad loser. You will become a winner only if you don’t give up regardless of what it is. I really like your views on racing because l understand where you are coming from. Generally first of all in the early days you get burnt at this game, and go crazy without any thought of what you are doing, if you can get past this stage of gambling you can win with some luck. Mind you if you don’t gamble, don’t start as it’s such a dangerous game if you can control your self.

Thanks Mark. Hope the recovery goes well

Brutal, we’ll find out in March eh!

I’ll keep everything crossed for you 👊🏻

Yeah I do like him but second season novice hurdler turning 8 probably meant today was the time to catch him but depends on what sort of mark he gets as he’s already notched up 3 runs. Suppose you have to wonder is he a horse they can point and shoot for a handicap though with his clear issues over time. Good horse though

Yeah I get you, your probably right to be fair. Appreciate the insight

No worries, all opinions isn’t it, get plenty wrong though so don’t let it influence you too far if you’ve got that gut feeling

@@Tipsterinasuit I’ve got my eye on him for the Coral Cup

Good shout that

He was the one I almost put up in this week too. The entry for Majborough put me off a bit too as if he debuts at 2m Ballybhrn looks more like browns horse don’t he Pauling also said recently he would mind staying at the middle trip but sure the only race for him on March is the brown isn’t it

I thought that also (JBM 12/1) still seems big and have been slotting him in a few accas... Only by night(Mares chase also 12/1 ) seems a tad on the large side also... A bit of value around if you take a good look.

Yeah I do hear you, but this far out with injuries and unknown ground I never like tying up money EW. Was a slowly run Ryanair I think and a fast one might catch him out, always a race that cuts up in the market though I’m still sore from his effort in the Grade 2 this Sunday Best of luck mate

@@Cheltmental Yeah each way is tricky (I get that point), although 25-1 (2-1 a place) is about the marker for it being value this far out IMO - Obviously betting antepost is mostly about beating SP by as far as possible, so guessing on ground and how races might be ran this far out is probably over thinking it. I though he ran well, which is why the 25-1 is value, as they ran at a dawdle and the winner was given too much rope by Skelton. Not to mention I think the horse hated being held up. He looked really good after the last and beyond the finishing line, once he got motoring. Think he retains his ability thats for sure.

Grey dawning will be going ryanair i reckon, has no chance in a gold cup.

Yeah I hear you. I’m hoping this will be his race though and he’s one I’m happy to have on board even if he’s not the first string as Willie often sends more than one at each race doesn’t he

@ Yeah it’s definitely JDV’s race and will be a player in it. I think Willie had the first 5 home in the race this year so there’s no worries about him running a ‘few’ in it

Times change though. Willie's one I'm interested in just now is Ballygunner Castle who almost got cleaned out 3 times by the loose horse in his maiden and still won, but again he doesn't necessarily look like he's going to win going away and look special. Just looks to have maturity way beyond a novice, battling qualities and expect he'll be suited by the trip. I do see your point though in that we possibly haven't seen the spectacular looking novice yet this season. Kilgame for De Bromhead has an entry this week and one over Christmas and looks like one whose French form may stack up quite nicely. Kainsbourg for Gordon Elliott is another we're yet to see who's come over from France with potential, and of course Karoline Banbou but she almost certainly ends up in the Mares novice.

Yeah I did have him written up to mentioned but they didn’t abort novice chasing so can’t see a horse who fits that type of profile for this year. Some horse he was but don’t think the stayers hurdle winner is in the 14 runner Hennessy this year

Yeah after the Hennessy unseat, but he finished his novice season over fences didn’t he

Clever cloggs

Yeah but then what price is he if he’s slammed I suppose. Plenty of those in behind who could be interesting I think, something will have to shorten up otherwise TEAHUPOO’s going off long odds on

Wouldn’t be impossible

Sir Gino 😂😂 Absolutely zero form in the book. Gets slammed on Saturday. #knowledgeispower

there, their and they're. you need to learn what is what my man, spell like a toddler. get the biff,chip and kipper books out lad

​@@Martin.Lewis..seriously how are you still allowed post on these pages, I'm guessing it's because everybody is backing what you say to avoid and vice versa.

Time will obviously tell where he ends up but definitely a riskier one as I touch on the written column

It wasn’t your opinion Dave and just saying no chance isn’t very bright🙄

@ sorry Karen

Definitely a glint, but then he had just ridden a grade 2 winner I suppose 😀

Oi Oi Jerry

Thanks mate, appreciate it Yeah looked good today, will be better in stronger run race too. GL

Yeah wasn’t great, ground against him so then run out the back which isn’t what you want in Haydock. Could have just pulled him when the ground came as it did couldn’t they.

If you’d watched the exchanges onahoy before they off they clearly knew was not going to perform

Yeah I looked at him Aintree run and thought about him but not sure he’s the strongest stayer and as he runs ‘below par’ pre spring I don’t think we’ll find out. Tricky one and he’s turning 9 now too, albeit that not exactly ancient is it Can see the price angle though, small cost to get him in the book ain’t it

@Cheltmental all very true Dave 👍

@@Cheltmental it's kind of a free bet as i backed Lucky Place to win on Saturday ( placed bet on Wednesday @ 12 ) imo Nico was canny by not giving a true answer. Definitely agree with you Dave the time is right to have the horse in your book

Much appreciated

Oi oi

Or even hi!

🤑

Worse bets than that , no depth to the field
