Yeah think you’re actually right - apologies!

Interesting reading people cashing the likes of Mister Coffee and Ferny Hollow for full stake back (no profit) the former is now half the price (appreciate trainers post race comments but still) and although Ferny Hollow failed to win again he’s still only best priced 16s when most were on at 25s I think. As someone said before when the price is this different you are likely to get a free dart next time out assuming they don’t completely flop, as if they get beat chances are they’ll be no worse than the price you backed them at originally and 95% cash out. So cashing out in these situations appears to be mainly for that reason (complete flop next time out) or injury.

That run by Ferny Hollow will be good enough to place in a champion bumper, or very close, if he can settle and learn a bit from yesterday youll be in business come march with a live chance.

Personally, just more selective this year.

Instead of just trying to get as many horses in the book that'll be better than SP, I want the ones I actually think will win as well as beating the SP.

For me, Ferny Hollow has shown enough to suggest that this season is too soon for him to show all his potential. Not disputing that he may well end up a great horse, and I'm not even saying if things dropped right he couldn't win the Bumper this year - I just think I've seen enough to put me off him. As it stands I've seen better bumper horses that may not run in the Bumper (Eric Bloodaxe the main one) but backing a horse to win at Cheltenham just because I don't think another horse will run is not an ideal situation.

Yesterday you said people 'are living in a fantasy world if they think Ferny Hollow can win a Champion Bumper'

Lad's what an unbelievable 4 days racing. Faugheen made my day when he won, id say after that my 40/1 for the National Hunt Chase is no good now. JLT or RSA must be what he is aimed for.

Could be, you'll know straight away if they decare him for the flogas. They've so many others that they've also pencilled in the flogas. Inc... easy game / allaho... so you never know.

I think he might go for the Irish Gold Cup you know.
I can't see why not.
Why mess around in novice chases, now he seems to be running so well.

I would be shocked, as they've made it clear they want as easy as possible, being realistic the JLT looks as easy as any atm. But with my own tunnel vision, i'd like to see him go for the ten up with Patrick on.
