....Guily Billy & Jungle Boogie to win a/r 200-1 Sky. This time last year Bob O & Appreciate It a/r was 200-1 (a price that held through the summer).
Thanks for posting Eggs. I think we may see Classic Getaway go for the spud race with Grangeclare West going Ballymore. That leaves Guily Billy for the bumper.
She may have already been mentioned, but chucking one out for the Mares Novice Hurdle, Bellatior @ 50/1 (William Hill).
It's definitely a 'punt' based on breeding over anything else, and I have absolutely no knowledge of how she is working or if she's even done a piece of work yet.
On her breeding, she is by Walk In The Park, a producer of Douvan & Min and she is out of Monte Solaro, the same dam that produced Altior, among others. She is trained by Denise Foster, I'd imagine soon to be Gordon Elliott again, and now the stigma of backing the Willie Mullins runners in the race can be done with, for now, at least, this wouldn't be an issue.
Of course, it could amount to absolutely nothing, it wouldn't be the first time, nor the last, but she's bred to be half decent, and for me, she's worth a small interest at a big price.

She had plenty of entries at the back end of the season - I stuck her up somewhere on here when she had an entry (not as antepost angle I should clarify) but obviously never made the track. She cost a fortune and is owned by the Mount Ida crew who it is safe to say had her plotted right up for this year and have been investing more off the back of it.
Yes very possibly FF. However Demi Plie was close enough to both her and Elimay to suggest that the two of them were not at their best after a long season. She was near enough at the finish to suggest two and half is okay for her. Although I agree she looks to be better over further.
It's hard to know where they do with her. Off 152 she won't be the easiest to place in handicaps next season. Gordon may run her down the field in graded races and then target something like the Festival Handicap on the first day, where I would be very interested off her current mark or less. They may also train her for a 'Nationals' campaign. But given how weak the mares chase division is, I suspect they'll chance their arm there. She's only had 5 lifetime chases so she's likely to improve again next season, and it wouldn't take too much more for her to be somewhere near.
In truth I suspect she'd finish somewhere around where Shattered Love did behind Elimay and Colreevy last season.
Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.
Had a little E/W punt on Matterhorn for the Triumph today at 50s with Hills boosted to 56.5/1. Breed by MME H Devin and trained on its only start to finish 3rd at Auteuil by Gab Leenders. Has since been sold (13/5/21) to Johnny de la Hey and sent to Paul Nicholls.
State Man is interesting for WPM & the Donnelly's.
State Man looks as though he went to Willies on 04/07/20 (as per France Galop). He was purchased in and around the same sort of time as Haut En Coleurs I believe, yet the latter was sent to the Triumph whilst State Man was held back. Obviously I'm not privy as to why State Man was held back and Haut En Coleurs went to the festival, it may just have been that State Man wasn't ready, though it may also be that he was being held back for this coming season, and potentially a tilt at the Supreme, provided he's good enough.
State Man has had one run over hurdles to date at Auteuil, mostly stuck out the back for the race before coming through late on to finish 2nd to Busselton. Now, obviously Busselton didn't perform great at the festival, but showed up with two solid enough runs behind Zanahiyr & Quilixios prior to that, so whilst the form isn't looking peak, it isn't horrific. Despite this I would expect State Man to come on leaps and bounds for moving to Willies anyhow, and I'd have absolutely no worries about him being able to reverse the form with Busselton if they ever met in the future, so it can all be taken with a pinch of salt.
State Man is by Doctor Dino, a sire of the likes of Sharjah & Sceau Royal, and is out of a dam who has produced only a couple so far, including one who is currently with Willie and is 2 from 2 over hurdles for him.
I see State Man very much in the mould of Klassical Dream, so I'm intrigued to see where he starts off life for WPM.
Currently a 33/1 shot across the board, I've backed him with free bets only so far but will be keeping a keen lookout for entries for him when the season gets under way.

He also has Bring On The Night for the same owners.
Won at the second attempt for Andre Fabre over 1m4f 24/05/20. Will have had time to acclimatise in WPM’s yard, sure he went sometime in the summer. Been some winners from in behind as well to give the form a boost albeit on the flat of course.
Not checked all bookies but 33/1 quoted for the Supreme.

I had Bring On The Night on my tracker all last season.
Pure flat pedigree and by Gleneagles, so not a recent type for the Supreme, but I would love more decent flat pedigree horses to run over hurdles.
