Did you back NRNB?Originally posted by Innoko View PostNo way!

I did and I can still cash out, but leaving it open as NRNB will kick in if she doesn't run anyway.
Personally and selfishly would prefer her in the Mares myself anyway.Comment

No, it was from pre Hattons Grace.Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View Post
Must just have pressed the button as they suspended I guess.
I’ve had her backed and cashed for both races now!

365 were very quick with Emitom to suspend after trainer/owner comments.Comment

No way, that’s gutting was on at 40/1 and was considering cashing out today and putting it all back on as NRNB but just wasn’t enough return in comparison to tempt me.
Part of me is hoping there just nailing there colours to that race to try and encourage BDD to go else where. I feel if BDD is still firm on running in the mares closer to the day then honey suckle May still switch.
Also this sets the tone for 365’s cash out, and if any mention of a race target is enough to suspend the cash out then there’s a few I’m in a sticky situation with having backed them for multiply targets such as Defi and Fakir.Comment

I nearly cashed one out last night but didn't bother.Originally posted by Willdunn99 View Post
To be fair, it's unlikely we'll be ahead of the curve this close to the festival on one so high profile.
Defi is another example.
I'll see what happens when 365 go NRNB for the whole festival... last time they did that I remember being able to cash out again on some that I couldn't previously.
Not a lot else to do though

A shame about Honeysuckle. I think it probably is the right call. If they look at her in isolation, without taking in the strength of each race she's a Mares Hurdle, middle distance horse. I did think the presence of Benie in the Mares, and her winning (no matter how she did so) would have been enough of a draw to send her CH but that's not to be. I think she'll be right up against it though and she will be facing the tougher opponent.
I'm also not too gutted about the 40/1 cashout being suspended myself. It's a luxury to have. And I personally wouldn't have played it any other way. Got a fair run out of it that's for sure. Hindsight would suggest not blowing them away at the weekend meant this decision became more likely again and cashing out moving to NRNB would have been the smartest move but I think it was a fairly close call.
It didn't have the perfect outcome but it was exactly the kind of antepost bet to play.Comment

I have no money down on Honeysuckle so defo not talking with my pocket. I believe this is all a game and is still totally up in the air. Let’s be honest here ....... Henry’s a smart guy so he will know just how good Benie is and really won’t want to take her on at Cheltenham. I genuinely believe whatever race Benie turns up in will be the race Honeysuckle will avoid. Reason being ........ she ain’t beating Benie but she may be capable of beating the uncertainties of the field in the Champion Hurdle. Honeysuckle has already achieved more than the favourite for the champion hurdle. She’ll defo stand more chance of winning a race at Cheltenham here. Henry ...... stay away from Benie !!!! You’ll be fighting a losing battle.Comment

Benie CH added to Skybet - 5/2 nrnbComment

I think you're right, in that it's still up in the air.Originally posted by Kautothegreat8 View Post
Epatante is likely to be favourite and although you can argue her Christmas Hurdle win is better 2mile form than Honeysuckle's, it's not like either are particularly impressive pieces of form!
The question I'd ask Honeysuckle's connections is: Which is easier, beating Benie Des Dieux in your optimum conditions, or Epatante at a trip short of your best?
I don't think that's an easy one to answerComment

Benie never ran in a 2 mile hurdle race in her life ..... can’t see it myselfComment

Her best two runs have been over 3 miles?Originally posted by Kautothegreat8 View Post
She's a C&D Mares Hurdle winner.
Trainer usually goes for the easiest race.
Connections already have two for the race in Saldier and Sharjah.
Only person who mentioned her for the CH is her owner, who is not a reliable source.
What Ricci wants, and what Mullins does - are not the same thing.
Mares most likely. Stayers Next. Champion Hurdle last.
She sure as hell wouldn't go off 5/2 though then again, Annie Power did 
she had The New One, My Tent Or Yours and Nichols Canton as the closest in the market to her though.

Saldier saves my bacon in this unless KD revival which I’m none to optimistic aboutOriginally posted by Craigy14 View PostCouldn’t agree more on Saldier and given the comments of being back and working well couldn’t ask for more at 6/1 NRNB.
He’s been forgotten obviously because of the slight injury/setback but imo he has to be the one to beat. Can’t have any of Hendos even Epatante getting the allowance. Agree Honey and BDD look to do battle in the mares.
Tasty Tuesday double of Saldier with BDD
Topped up NRNB , no brainer, in for a penny and all that
Much prefer

Really keen on Saldier for this. Market has been all over the place all season with no standout performer.
6/1 nrnb imo is a very good price for him for what he’s done to date and the improvement still possible in him. Given how well he runs fresh and his connections I’m surprised he’s the price he is (get he has had a setback). I’ve been chipping away at it and will continue to.Comment
