Am very much against IA personally but, as always, I’ll go with the majority.

Would +1 your other three selections though

I’m sure you have probably mentioned it before but would be great to know why your against IA ? I have been pretty impressed with the horse since pre cheltenham last year and don’t believe the horse could have done much more in the races it has had so far this season

I like the horse itself, thought he was a good thing in the novice handicap last year too. But I really really hate his price. He’s the same price as a 9 time Grade 1 winner who’s being aimed at the race and is the defending champion.

On the Min and IA basis, I’m thus against IA purely on his price.

[Geegees]

Yeah I can understand that angle and I was on min last year as I think it’s the race he should have been aimed at in previous years.

I guess I’m trying to see the improver angle... IA only started in 2018 in terms of racing and they looked to have taken a patient approach (unless he was injured during novice hurdle campaign??)

min has run 22 races vs IA 11 and 2 years older so I do wonder if he will be able to cope with some of these coming through this year

I see what you mean with the possible improvement but Min is priced up as a 9 time Grade 1 winner and the defending champ. Imperial Aura is the same price despite winning a Grade 2 and a festival handicap. He’s priced up on potential against a proven horse in the grade. It’s a pricing thing for me.

[Geegees]

Yeah understand the pricing angle and I do agree there should be a difference. Typical bookies not taking any chances.

let’s both they both get there safe and we have a good race on our hands

With more restrictions looking to come into place I'm going to cover this. I don't think Ireland will be stopped but it's more possible from today.

Actually think the opposite, stricter lockdown now reduces the already small chances that this will be an issue come March
