I'm going to take the 14/1 myself, with cashout options.... rather than 16s without or 7/1 NRNB
The jockey situation has me scared as my advantage would be diminished. What a ridiculous situation to affect an ante post bet
Why scared? Sure Codd is better than the majority of the amateurs but Galvin will arguably be the best or one of the best horses in the race and given he could have Jack/Davy whilst they ain't miles clear of other professionals you've still got one of the best pilots if it comes to that.

Well because of exactly that...
"Galvin will arguably be the best or one of the best horses in the race"

whilst "Jack/Davy whilst they ain't miles clear of other professionals you've still got one of the best pilots if it comes to that."
The fact Codd is "miles clear" means I'm losing some of the edge.
Jack and Davy are fantastic, but the difference between say Codd and Patrick Mullins, is bigger than Jack Kennedy to Townend? .... and as a wider point, Codd to "the rest" means the field is potentially 'deeper' than it would have been.

Can half see your point but your on at big enough prices so the negative thinking wouldn’t be part of my thought process personally. Get them space hoppers back out !

Haha, oh I'll be letting them ride obviously.... it's just I had him as a 3/1 shot, very likely strong fav...
Now he's more likely 9/2f in a stronger field than it would have been?
I know I have great bets, but you can't get blinkered....
Part two of the ‘Dickie Diver road to National Hunt Chase glory’ is on Saturday at Warwick. Very excited to watch it.
The opening episode was a lovely teaser into the storyline. The horse showed his well-being before deciding to run on gamely in the latter stages and give viewers a glimpse of his potential as a four mile horse. Was exactly what those of us on from the summer were hoping to see.
In episode two at Warwick I’m hopeful once again to see the horse running on late but also to show some improvement with his jumping at a tricky test such as Warwick in preparation for that 5:30 race on the Tuesday in 9 weeks time.
The final episode in said 9 weeks culminates in a rampant celebration from connections as the good thing wins hard held on the snaff after the rest of the field are out on their feet turning for home. Dickie Diver however turns in full of running and just had to clear the last. The viewing public (all watching by from home of course) hold their breath... he’s over! What a performance! Have you ever seen a horse hard held win a National Hunt Chase before? The ‘Dickie Diver road to National Hunt Chase glory’ is one hell of a three part story! Heard a rumour next year theirs a sequal being planned called ‘Dickie Diving my way to Gold Cup stardom’. Exciting!

Thanks Kev - I took a boosted 22/1 when he was introduced to the market after the Welsh GN, and if he takes his chance, would like to think that he'd be competitive (having said that, I'm quite prepared for a scenario in which Galvin hoses up having obviously been aimed at this from a long way out).

No Dickie Diver Saturday unfortunately
Went from looking a cracking race to a very poor turnout! Story of the season, 3 runners.

Dickie Diver unfortunately scoped dirty so had to sit this weekend out which is very frustrating because I’d liked to have run him because the main target is the National Hunt Chase.

A Proper sick note isn't he.
