Allaho cut yesterday to 5/6 by ladbrokes and coral and sky have followed suit today to 10/11. NRNB prices
how short do we expect him to go off? I am thinking 1/2-4/9 areaComment

Mister Fisher.....if the field is less than 10 runners and he doesn’t make a jarring mistake he will run well imo but he gets claustrophobic and often puts in at least one shuddering error. Last years Ryanair I thought he was running a proper race then made a complete mess of the water jump of all obstacles and it quickly unravelled but until that point he looked to be one of just a few that could handle the pace Allaho was setting. If Allaho is in similar form to last year then only a few will be quick enough to travel and jump and this is where I’d worry about janidil (even though I have backed him). SC should handle it ok but a lot of good horses were beaten from a win perspective after just a few fences.Originally posted by willpaterson View PostComment

I'd expect Allaho to be the shortest price of the meeting and go off 1/3Originally posted by Geegees View PostComment

It's a little surprising he stayed odds against for so long.Originally posted by Geegees View Post
On paper, he has an easier job than Shishkin for my money...Comment

Yeah I would agree there, potentially honeysuckle with the only other easier race at present unless appreciate it comes out and looks like a monsterComment

He has a much much easier job than shiskinOriginally posted by Kevloaf View Post
Shishkin has 1lb or so in hand on energumene
Allaho has tonnes in hand on all of the likely runnersComment

Tactically more straightforward too, front runningOriginally posted by FinalFurlong91 View PostComment

Allaho is the best horse in the race by miles.
And will dictate the race to his liking from the front.
At no point will he be out of his comfort zone during the race (like Shishkin will be)
If he gets round, in anywhere near his form for the past 12 months he wins.
Going too heavy on a single horse has backfired before.
But the temptation to put every bet in with Allaho at a shade of odds on NRNB, i'm not going to lie is strong!Comment

8/13 on the Thursday morning. 4/6 in a few lunchtime boosts. 4/7 SPOriginally posted by Geegees View PostComment

Although I agree that Allaho looks nailed on to win this again, it doesn’t mean he’s an automated banker
don’t think many people thought UDS would get beaten ok his second Ryanair but he was

Funnily enough I was just thinking back to this time last year. where it was inconceivable the likes of Envoi Allen and CPS would get beat.Originally posted by opatcho View Post
We should probably do some sort of 'take on that banker' thread.
I do agree with the general consensus about Allaho - he has such rock solid credentials for this race.Comment

Not a banker, don’t like that word in this game, seen too much over the years!!
But he’s got a less difficult task than Shishkin.Comment
