    Only 2 I’m annoyed at myself for missing as cases were made for both, one more just taking the leap on debut but the other was talked about a lot.

    Galvin
    Dusart

    I’d say my list of horses that are/were too short is bigger! But I’d be happy playing bigger stake at lower odds (unless managed a roll up) on these.

I'm now looking at chucking Monkfish in with a couple of other market leaders to try and get a bit of juice into the price but I'd much prefer to have a single covered at a better price.

      I've generally got most of the other favourites I like covered at decent prices and I am not just looking to beef up my selections in those races with some value prices before the handicap markets/NRNB etc start appearing across the board.
      I did the same, but because I really fancied TBG. I’ll leave monkfish until the day now

        Don't feel that I've missed out on any horse. However, I do think I should have had a little more on the big guns at the tasty prices I've taken as singles. My book is heavily weighted on the Doubles front so I'll need at least 3 of the 'bankers' to come in to guarantee a tidy profit. It could pay off or it could go horribly wrong.

          ....there are a few mentioned here that are available in ‘win Christmas period/Festival’ specials:

          Paisley Park Cleeve Hurdle (Jan)/Stayers 5-1 Hills
          Epatante & CH 2-1 Sky
          SDB & Stayers 14-1 Sky
          Bravemansgame Challow/any race 22-1 Sky: Challow/ Ballymore 25-1 Sky


          In respect of this thread, ABP is certainly one I haven’t got onside. I’m considering 8-1 to win Savills & GC.

            I wouldn't put anyone off that ABP special Eggs. I'd imagine he'll go around 3's maybe 11/4 should he win his prep so 8's is very tasty.

              ....yep, I suppose the consideration is 11/2 is currently available for the GC.

                Missed a few or was on the fence with them at the time, but the ones I feel silly about are probably Thyme Hill and Sir Gerhard, the latter in particular was being talked about for ages on here at nice double digit prices, so only myself to blame there!

                  Concertista probably the only horse that has made me wish I had previously got her on side - but it’s not like she has ever been a really big price (I think?).

                  The biggest opportunity I have missed is (I think) making the conscious decision to not cash out a couple of roll ups with Ferny Hollow in the Ballymore once the rumours surfaced, despite the likelihood he wouldn’t have run there even if he stayed fit. I still can’t figure out what I was thinking there

                    Next season think about your bankers more strategically Lobos. You should be looking to be close to break even with 1 banker, a nice profit with 2, very happy days with 3, and a Caribbean island with 4.

                        the tramore race is also called/sponsored by savills.

                          ...it’s confusing, I understand there’s the ‘Savill’s Chase’ and the ‘Savills New Years Day Chase’. Hills 8-1 is clearly the latter, but the Sky wording is less clear.

                              Chacun pour soi for me. Always thought the price was a bit low. Obviously talented and the yard think highly of him, but struggled at the early prices especially as even Altior was better price for a multiple Cheltenham winner.

                                The one that I have a awful nagging feeling about is Honeysuckle.

                                She’d be a very very nice winner of the Mares for me.

                                I am also in a pretty nice position in terms of the front 3 in the betting for the champion hurdle.

                                However, if Honeysuckle were to run in the Champion Hurdle and win....well that wouldn’t be good for me. Not at all.

                                Have thought about it quite a bit, but decided to do nothing. I’m far from convinced she’ll run it, and I don’t think she’d win if she did....at least that’s what I’m telling myself anyway...
