Absolutely, especially as it looks like the target with the National out of the picture!
I did take 16 NRNB a few weeks ago, a little surprised the price has held really.
Without having to look through all the entries of the Kim Muir in depth, does anyone have any initial thoughts as to what Codd will ride?
Does he tend to just ride the horse with the best chance? Does he have a loyalty to any particular trainer in this? does he tend to ride horses that he has ridden before?
Trying to use the Codd angle to grab a decent price NRNB before Jocks are confirmed...
Doctor Harper could be a possiblity. He rode The Package in the Kim Muir a couple of years ago for the same connections.
There was also some good money around earlier in the year for DH I think, can't remember if it was this race or not though, but whichever it was it seems connections had money down nice and early. Codd booking would be massive too.

The main stable he is attached to is Gordon Elliott so if he has a well handicapped runner then that will be his first choice. After that I think the Pipes are next in line as they have a connection with Elliott and are also good for a handicap plot. Outside of those two I guess it's down to his own judgement and who can 'sell' him a ride on their horse.
Remember, the Amateurs don't get many chances in the spotlight so I'm sure they're all selfish with regards to riding the best chance possible regardless of the trainer or owner.
With Master Blue Eyes winning the Adonis, Divin Bere is looking very well treated in the Fred Winter off 137. He might be higher in the weights than the trends would like but the winning mark is increasing over the years. If Campeador had not fallen at the last hurdle last year, we could have had a winner off 142.
Presenting Percy just blown his handicap mark as well. Strange choice for him to run today. Master Blueyes was understandable but not sure why PP would run less than 3 weeks from the festival.
