  • Good for Might Bite and Alpha des Obeaux fans.

    Bellshill 16/1 NRNB with Sky is a bit more like the price he should be?

    • I was thinking Bellshill would be better at the Aintree Meeting me self. 2 starts 2 2nds round there.

        Did anyone see the RP today and check if this was mentioned??

        • Yes. Hendo says Might Bite, O O Seven and Whisper for RSA, Top Notch and Different Gravey for JLT. Slightly annoying as I backed Whisper for JLT. Oh well.

          • Owners preference maybe regarding Whisper? Seeing whether they have a Gold Cup contender next season?
            Or Top Notch is a clear preference in the JLT? OR Might Bite is weaker than expected in the RSA? OR Davy Russell has another ride in the JLT?! Diamond King? Disko?

              I had Diamond King going the handicap route ? Started favourite for the Drinmore and went OK until hitting the last ..but Limerick too bad to be true ?

              • Diamond King is surely going for the plate. He has a mark of 150 over fences by the British handicapper, which is 1lb higher than his hurdle mark when winning the Coral cup. I like his chances at 20/1 - although haven't taken it yet.

                  16s NRNB with 365 if you're not feeling as bold.

                  Was one of the first horses I remember being talked up this year. Won quite takingly on debut and Elliott nominated the JLT. I am quite tempted too ... if you do have a bet let me know

                  • No Reynoldstown entry for American. Indicator that he does not go for this and heads to 4 miler???

                    I can only hope

                      I think Harry Fry said he needs plenty of time between his races and he'll go straight to the festival after his win at Warwick.

                      • Ive left Might Bite alone because of money being tight but finally got the money to have a bet on him. Still worth the 7/2? Im thinking I might chuck Douvan and Altior in to try and beef the price out a little

                          I just can't see it replicating that Kempton performance and winning this race. I'm not a layer , but I think it's one of the lays of the meeting for me. Would fancy it more in JLT

                            I personally wouldnt back him at 7/2 but thought 12s and 16s which Ive took is good value looking at it now.. is he really not going to be in the first 3?

                              The way it jumped at Donny wouldn't have filled you with confidence would it? Was too high and bit careful at them and that was under zero pressure. But your on at nice prices though and value well and truly gone on this fella. Personally, I would still want 10-12s before I backed it

                                I think the pace of the race was to blame that day (or i hope it was) he was much better at Kempton with plenty of pace and runners. Also seemed to jump better when encouraged into the fence by NDB
