    • Prengarde pushed out again today to 7/1 with PP/Betfair and at the same time shorten Tiger to 7/4. Sounds ominous for the youngster.

      • I’ve found a tiger suit. Shall I buy it and wear it on Wednesday?

            I think that's good cover bet territory now given how well the horse is regarded and how we know warm up races over hurdles don't seem to indicate performance over the jumps (and given how deep I'm in on Tiger)

              Literally just backed and posted similar in the diary section.

              Can't ignore 7/1, for how much the french mole bangs on about him

                Wise(?!) minds. Just seen you've gone e/w. We differ on that slightly. My thinking is he'll either be a star or so undercooked/inexperienced that he'll bomb out so prefer win only.

                • To be fair all of Prengardes hurdles form early in his career was at gaff tracks, yesterday was zero indication of what he could be capable of in the cross country.
                  I wouldn't be writing him off when it looked like they just wanted to get a run under his belt before deciding whether he goes in march or not.
                  I'm not rushing to take the 7/1 right now but on the day that price might be more tempting,

                  • Personally don't think he'll turn up but I can see why 7/1 NRNB is attractive to some.

                      Him bombing out may still better than anything bar Tiger... was mine.

                        You could well be right, still young enough for them to give him all the time he needs.

                          That's my thinking and I'd imagine theirs after yesterday. No need to go in at the deep end now. It could destroy him going forward. He's only 5, doesn't turn 6 properly until after the Festival. He's a baby and has many years ahead of him. They'll do the right thing.

                            • Maybe Easyslands will go instead of Prengarde??

                              • Taken the 7/1 Prengarde NRNB as well. In full hope of getting it returned tomorrow when he's not entered

                                If he does go he can't go off that price though can he. Bit of a no brainer. Even with an entry tomorrow I'd expect him to go shorter.
