First horse on my mind for this is The Big Getaway. I was actually told at Cheltenham to back him the following week in his maiden hurdle and he was very highly thought of at home.
He could only manage second, and again in his next run... but was sent off a very short price both times and looked a big one paced baby! His first run was given a nice boost in the Persian War when Fiddlerontheroof ran a good race to be second. TBG was only beaten a couple of lengths giving that horse 7lb's and did meet a bit of trouble in running. He looks crying out for a step up in trip.
Hopefully Sixshooter can give his form a bit of a boost today as well.
No need to back him for a specific race as top priced 33/1 for this but 33/1 any race with Hills too
Good example of the any race market being worth tapping into.
Too early for me to fancy anything in this race but he's already in the tracker
Never a bad thing to have horses in mind for certain races, an early thought for this for me is I K Brunel (2nd season novice, shaped like he needed a lot further when 5l behind Elixir De Nutz at Cheltenham over 2m, thought highly of by Olly Murphy), but I'm of the opinion that it's a race to bet on much closer to the festival. There's always value on the day, take the last ten SP prices of winners: 50/1, 33/1, 16/1, 11/1, 14/1, 33/1, 11/8, 7/1, 15/8, 33/1
365 seem unhappy to take anything on early in this market. A paltry 20/1 was the best they could offer about Eden Du Houx bearing in mind they have him priced up at 50/1 for the Ballymore that seems very tight. I’d be confident he’ll need a trip especially on good ground so hopefully he wont overly impress today if he runs.

He up against a horse today that has some tidy form in Ireland. If he was to be impressive today, he's a very good horse.
I’d have backed him for this race had they came back with a 33/1 quote. The 25’s any race is interesting but I’d rather have the cash out option so I’ll probably just sit tight & see how today goes. If he wins today with conditions as sharp as they are maybe the Ballymore will be the plan. He looked a spud race type to me in his bumpers.
Overthetop runs tomorrow for Olly Murphy, I think he could be quite smart.
Not sure whether he would come here or the Ballymore, but at a profile guess I'd go here.
That was impressive COD I was a little put off based on the trainers comments
“A lovely big staying type who won a point-to-point on debut prior to joining us for £150,000. He continued the winning ways with a really solid effort in a Warwick bumper. He will be given plenty of time and could well make up into a smart staying chaser after a season over the smaller obstacles”
But he’s obviously further forward than he’s showing at home as opposed to Dundrum Wood who maybe does his best work on the gallops.
Eden Du Houx was very disappointing in conditions that should have suited.
I took 33’s for the Ballymore on Overthetop straight after the finished expecting him to shorten but the odds never moved. Maybe because the bookies feel this is his target or they didn’t rate his performance that much??

Wouldn’t be concerned by that TKP the bookies are not on top of everything at this time of the year.
Especially with regards to the “smaller” stables. I remember getting 50/1 about City Island for the Ballymore without rapid reactions last year.
