exactly Rodders. No Novice has won off a rating higher than 141 since 1983. Isn't he going AB?

[doctorwu]

Pretty sure Presenting Percy was a novice last year and won off 146.

Don't think PP was a Novice.

[HardyEustace]

Don't think PP was a Novice.

Had his first run over hurdles in October 2016 and won his first later that month, so still would have been a novice unless I am mistaken

Those stats haven't been updated Doc

Oops. My apologies. No French bred still stands.

Voix du Reve? I was taken by the performance too. Travelled into the race great then seemed to run out of puff. He came down at the last in the Fred Winter with Campeador when Diego du Charmil won it.

Been looking through the entries for the last Irish qualifier next Weds and surprised to see Blow By Blow in there but Voix Du Reve was the other interesting one for me. A wee bit unlucky not to finish better than 8th in the Leopardstown qualifier over Xmas he is WPMs only entry next week and as he doesn't have anything else already qualified that I can see will be his only chance of having a runner in this race at the festival. His last race wasn't great but happy to put that down to the bounce factor and you have to ignore the French bred stat but 20/1 nrnb with P.P seems reasonable enough to me....1 point E.W staked.

Blow by blow would win this hands down for me. If he gets In.

Decent ground 3 miles. Hes far better than his mark.
Himself and delta work of real interest to me here

Would a agree BBB better than his current mark but possibly needs to improve on that to get a run in this at Cheltenham so will be interesting to see, assuming he does line up next Weds, how they balance the need to get raised a few pounds without blowing it completely. After Presenting Percy last year I'm sure Phil Smith will have had a very close eye on both the Leopardstown and next weeks qualifier.

I'm sure I had a bet on BBB any race.... I think he was similar odds to Samcro in the any race market at one point

[Hurricane fly]

He and Samcro were similar odds at the start of the season

I’ve got 1U on a boosted 15.2/1 with hills which I had discarded

I also think I might have 1U on BBB and Samcro both to place in any race at 20/1 but that was requested on. Twitter and they are often added to your account but don’t appear on the open bets...fingers crossed

[billymag]

French Bred stat destined to go this year with the "mighty" Calett Mad, not even his country of birth can stop him! lol

[Robbante]

Blow by Blow and Delta Work added for this race with Hills, both 20/1. I like them both and already have a little bit on BBB any race, but am torn as to how their marks fit into their cheltenham plans (BBB 132 Irish rating, Delta Work 139 Irish rating). Anyone got a clue? Delta Work might have a nice mark for the Martin Pipe, but I guess we can assume Pertemps now the plan for them both?
