    Of course.

    As soon as NRNB come in, the cash out should go through the roof. As long as nothing unfortunate happens between now and then.

    • Voix Du Reve continues to be supported for this, Skybet the only outpost at 25/1 which I doubt will last long

      • I presume the VDR support is because he'll be going at Christmas and Getabird to Limerick?

        I'd be surprised if VDR wins over Xmas but i suppose he's done well this year so far...

          May be the case but I think Cliaos Emery is entered for the same race, and he hasn’t been supported yet. May be as you say because VDR has already been out and also people thinking Getabird won’t end up here and are looking for the Mullins alternative. Makes me slightly nervous as one I haven’t covered yet for this race and would rather not have to

          • Yeah Cilaos Emery i'd doubt will be running there with no previous run, so he's likely to be Mullins "no.1" at this stage anyway....and what happens if he does end up beating Mengli Khan? Goes close to fav for this- so probs covering their arses/some people taking the chance just in case

              Oh yea, didn't think to check it could have been a hurdle run. What a ridiculous horse haha.

              Still, my stats above are quite intersting I thought. LAst year every single runner hit the trend, you can't make money backing all 5

                A candidate for a free bet I suppose, rare sly are best price

                  I genuinely don't believe he got beaten for stamina...indeed his late trainer Richard Woollacott always insisted to me that he thought he needed further than two miles. I strongly believe that on better spring ground he will be able to lie up with any pace and his jumping will be a huge asset.
                  That said he does love Aintree no doubts but he has run very well on his visits to Cheltenham also.

                      Do you have a line in to the yard WC1?

                        That's positive.

                        I'd forgive Lalor (I think this has already beens said).....

                        but you have to just put a line through the run and hope he bounces back next time.

                        1. Dynamite Dollars improved out of all recognition and is a huge Arkle player?
                        2. Lalor underperformed and Dynamite Dollars improved/ran as well - as previously


                        Has to be 2?

                          2 but the Irish horse shows the form is dross. Ornua is a summer ground horse and still took all the beating

                              Same horse was 42L behind Lalor at Aintree last year. Fitness edge, if I was fishing for a reason.

                              I do expect the Irish novices to be ahead in every division in the main though.

                              Santini may have to be exceptional.

                              • I'm not in the Lalor camp but he is obviously better than that. Put in a poor jump and was suddenly 15 lengths behind. It wasn't a good decision to run and it wasn't the best ride holding it up on soft. 8/1 is an awful price though.
