The County Handicap Hurdle

[Scooby91]

...interesting that when pushed for a festival ante-post selection, Sporting Life’s Ben Linfoot went for Pic D’orhy in this.

Of all the horses in all the world.

Can deffinatly see why. 2miles is undoubtaby his trip. Travelled very nicely last time and did what they wanted.

Exactky like the same connections malaya who won the imperial cup, after being ran over further the time before, even though shes an out and out 2 miler.

However, I'd worry he'd go there and not the county.

...I’ve got Pic D’orhy any race but it did encourage me to have a little interest @ 33-1 (cash back) in this. Funny, I once had a chat with Linfoot and he told me his ante-post selections were useless (unlike his Friday night tips for Saturday). But, Pic D’orhy for this was particularly left field.

I imagine the Imperial Cup still carries the bonus. Perhaps it’s being lined up for the double.

Mohaayed at 5os looks good ew for a dabble

Hcap mark now close to 2 years ago when Bridget won him......tgink will go off shorter

[Outlaw]

Seemed to recall someone mentioning Apples Shakira at some stage, on Hendos Unibet blog when asked he says she's back in Ireland and will get covered in Due course so don't sound like she will race again.

My early fancy for this is entered in the same novice hurdle as Shishkin at Sandown on Sat...pleased to see an entry post PN fly jabs & hoping he only goes up a couple of lbs to support defo getting in:

Flic Ou Voyou

Got this added to SB NRNB market - introduced at 40/1.

Track experience from last yrs red hot bumper, stand out novice form from Wincanton earlier this season, will appreciate a fast run 2 miles, should sneak in the bottom for a trainer who has previous in the race & where novices / lightly raced hurdlers have done well down the years. Can’t get much on with them but a bit nice & early NRNB is a good point to start for me on this race. I’d imagine following the big DRF hcap hurdle (former Schweppes?) at the weekend & once the novices shake out, this will still look ok so happy with an opening 40s

Good work. Small stakes for me too but hey ho nothing to lose. He has been in my tracker for a while.

Great spot SB. I would be surprised if Shiskin takes up this option so quick after his last run (17 days) . So might be even easier to hide in open view. Amazingly well handicapped and have done 1pt. ew with Sky at the 40/1

Some form lines for a 130 horse!

[Scooby91]

I'd really fancy edwardstone here of 142 should they decide to go down the handicap route.

[Gem1304]

Any chance of Coko Beach coming here? Only priced up with Unibet at 25s at the moment. Been tried over further pretty unsuccessfully.

I'd say a fair chance Gem, and one I like. Backed 'any race' so far, but have him down to back NRNB for this, but yet to get round to it.

I keep checking for prices and was surprised he's only just appeared in the betting and only with one firm.

I'm also on any race and I feel this would be the most suitable. I think waiting for NRNB probably the best play

[BigChaang]

Already set out my stall for this race as mentioned in the Handicap thread.

Mohaayed at 50/1 is a cracking EW bet in my eyes.
Ciel De Neige at 35/1 is also very decent looks on a good mark
Never Adapt should she come here would be my other, have got any race at 27s

I think I am done now until the day unless anything else catches my eye

Gone for those three too Jon , plus Flic Ou Voyou - @ 40-1 ,.
who Splinterboy mentioned yesterday .

I have added Flic as well BC, I have Never Adapt any race now. Happy with that little lot

i expect Sebastipol to enter the picture when he hopefully wins the Scottish county hurdle at Mussleburgh.Ground very important to him and as long as it has good in going description he will put up a performance.
