Does the poor form from last years juveniles worry you about Meri Devie? I can't think of any 5yo this season that was racing last year doing anything notable?

Yes it does a little.Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostDoes the poor form from last years juveniles worry you about Meri Devie? I can't think of any 5yo this season that was racing last year doing anything notable?
Mohaayed 33/1 I have added
She is more a speculative punt, as I feel she benefit from the better ground than she keeps encountering in Ireland, also a stiff track like Cheltenham will suit too.
She may of course go elsewhere still as well, but I wouldn't want to be backing her for the Martin Pipe, which is the other alternative I believe.
Mohaayed was unlucky last season, and I feel could at least place this season, he wasn't without support for the race IIRC.Comment

As I wondered somewhere earlier, one of my novice chasers is going back to hurdles. Bunk Off Early has an entry for this and the Martin Pipe (no chance I'd have thought!) and it will be interesting to see what mark he gets.Comment

They closed at noon today. Probably released this week with the weights at the end of the month. 88 in the County.Comment

Entries are released Thursday, with the weights released on 1st March I think.Comment

Is that confirmed FM ? It's always been a Wednesday media launch in the past...Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View PostComment

I thought it was Wednesday but @AntepostPunter on Twitter said it's Thursday for handicap entriesOriginally posted by Istabraq View PostComment

They have been released on this equivalent Thursday in each of the last two years (didn't check back any further): 25/2/16 and 23/2/17. Weights definitely out on 1st March.Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View PostComment

Anyone think A Hare Breath has a decent chance in this?
Ben Pauling talks about him being purposfully off since his handicap win at Sandown (had the likes of Caid Du Lin, William H Bonney, Jenkins all beaten) and that this is the target.
Was novice chasing last year (finished 7th in Altior's Arkle) ... but isn't up to that grade over fences... (or hurdles perhaps)?
WH are 20/1 with NR insurance which isn't unfair...
Not backed him but interested to know he's fully been laid out for itComment

Got beat in the 2016 Greatwood off 8lbs lower with possible excuses for the ground - has he improved since then?Originally posted by Kevloaf View Post
It appears that Ben Pauling is going to win all the handicaps this year

A horse I looked at earlier in the year Kev. But that win has thrown up nothing bar Jenkins who won twice after that race, everything else from that race has been pretty poor, although Unison has just found the winning thread again now dropped in class.Originally posted by Kevloaf View Post
From a form perspective he is of no interest, however, unlike the others in that race who had had a run, A Hare Breath was racing off the back of a long break, so every chance he will come on for that run too, and for that reason he re-enters calculations for me.Comment

Long story but ................. i have a customer who owns a leg in a hunter chaser, one of the other owners also has a part share in a horse in Paulings yard. He tells me that the stable staff started backing A Hares Breath 2 months ago for this race with confidence. Take from that what you will but please dont shoot the messenger!!!!!!!Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostComment

He’s actually my only bet in the race so far Kev at the boosted 22/1 with Hills insurance. I liked the way he did it at Sandown and been laid out for this. Always a small bets race for me but I think he’ll go there with a real fighting chance.Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostComment

Flying Tiger is a real bet in this for me, think there’s still some 33s about. His season has all been about this one race, a tactic that worked perfectly for nick williams last year with this horse when he won the Fred Winter. Somehow he got left on 140 after the kingwell, he was only beaten 5 lengths and the winner has gone up 11lbs! Well handicapped, course form, been prepped with this one race in mind, hard to see him out of the frameComment
