Personally I think he’ll go P P and P then win the County by 27l carrying 10st 3lb...
"If".
To be fair, at 66/1 "if" Labaik gets new owners, gets entered, doesn't plant at the start, bolts up looking like a good'un, gets cut to 33/1 - he might be good value too.
Obviously his target is clearer too, as he's not a novice.

If you and I don't get some shuteye soon we'll both bloody miss Malone Roads comeback !
My opinion on the horse as a betting prospect is that he’d probably go Supreme I’d have thought. Albeit he is older so may have slightly less pace than before his injuries. He’s a certainty to shorten when he wins (assuming he does) though and with his high reputation in the yard, I too want him on side.
16/1 with Paddy power for any race seems perfect for this mornings free bet. 18s with the boost in fact. That’ll do me fine.
The 7 year olds you see in the Supreme and Ballymore are usually late developers for owners that want a runner, rather than genuine contenders. In the case of Malone Road he’s missed a season, but if there are no lingering effects it would be madness to discount him.
Captain Cee Bee won the Supreme in recent seasons as a seven year old. Like a Butterfly was eight. And French Holly won the Ballymore at seven. So to say seven year olds don’t win either race is untrue. The just don’t win them very often because genuine contenders are thin on the ground.
Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

No one is saying that MR won't be aimed at one of the Novice races. Just that 7 year olds do have a very poor record albeit not that many have run in it. The 2 you mention Spectre are drawing their state pensions like you and I. No 7 year olds have won either the Supreme or Ballymore in the last 12 years. I'm just putting it out there that Cheveley Park may, and it's a big may, think that if MR proves himself a top, top novice over the next 6/7 months then, depending on their other ammunition they have at that time with their Novices and the fact that MR is playing catch-up, they might just throw him at the Churdle. He'll be 7 in March and a lot more capable physically and has been back in since this Spring popping away at the hurdles and being put through his paces so he would have had plenty of work and be ready for today and hopefully the months ahead. Bringing him back now rather than October/November means he has the necessary time to get several races in and gain the experience he'll require to run in the Champion. At current odds of 66/1 of course it's a big long shot but I'm more than happy to throw a little bit at it for a bit of fun and see where I go. He'll probably blow out today and all this chat will be for nothing but hey ho, that's racing .
Anyone no why he’s a non runner? I’ve backed him for the Supreme and ballymore expecting him to run today, i would feel much better actually seeing him make a race track sooner rather then later!!
