Triumph Hurdle 2018

[Istabraq]

I'm starting to worry Apples Shakira may go down the Mares Novice route myself.

This race is one of the weaker events of the week and AS probably already achieved a RPR higher than previous winners and almost certainly higher RPR than those winners will have achieved at this stage of their career.
I think AS is almost certain to head for Triumph...

interestingly Boyles have cut Espoir Dallen into 7s from 10s

Maybe they're about to go NRNB all races too, as Sky are 7/1 NRNB?

Or maybe not

[doctorwu]

Kev,
They'd shorten all of them if that was the case

On that point Kev, some shocking value with skybet NRNB

Good point!

He's best priced 8s now. According to oddchecker he hasn't been 10s since Boxing Day but that has been wrong as was pointed out elsewhere

On that horse in particular, one I missed the original big prices and only have a small bit at 10s. Would not be a good result for me at the moment. (Albeit, not a bad one either)

Got quite a bit of wiggle room because of the collapses in Apple's Shakira from 25s and We Have A Dream at 33s.

I don’t understand how Style De Garde is still 33/1 for this race with Paddys. Top form over the channel, good performance first up beating a nice horse in Doctor Bartolo with ease. Has an entry on Friday in a decent looking race and if he wins as I expect him to then will be half that price at least

Robante.....shhhh, keep it quiet

Haha I’m topping up. I had a formline through Nube Negra which made me question Apples Shakira a little. I can’t find anything either side of the channel to question Style De Garde’s form, convinced he’s simply a better horse than We Have A Dream, 33’s seems mad

On the racing post podcast, the two experts, haven't got a thing to say about Act Of Valour... Maddy seemed to know him, but that is shocking... they get PAID to talk about racing, or write about it. I get annoyed thinking about it!

Fat Jockey podcast would be much better

I’d think Nicholls might be plotting to get Act of Valour a mark for the Fred Winter nowadays, would seem a logical move

25/1 NRNB
40/1 if you feel brave with SJ....

no thread for Fred Winter yet....

I did have that in mind 40s very tempting but poss injury as that surely wasn't his running. Will have a very lenient mark now anyway on home work. 25s nrnb is good . But unfortunately for myself I'm not scanning that market as I can't get it

Me too Rob... I've backed him at 40's.
