Samcro at 20/1 is going to be a bet in this for me.
He's been rubbish this season to be fair but he was also running badly last season until the festival. He's a dual festival winner and twice the price of Melon - that doesn't make sense.
He's a better horse than Melon imo and I'm just going to trust Gordy to work his magic.
Yep - I had a go on him a couple of days ago each way. Seems to come alive at the festival and I’m in the camp that course form is a big tick.
Never been a fan of IA and he’s coming in off the back of a fall. Min maybe fine after yesterday but not ideal prep. Melon will finish second won’t he?
SC and Allaho are obvious dangers but at the prices I think Samcro is a wise bet.

Anyone else like him at the prices?
He's the one that's standing out to me as well FM.
No doubt on his target.
You have to put his 2 runs this season behind him but I think the whole of the Ryanair market has questions to some degree.
I also wouldn't put too much stock into his Christmas run. They rolled the dice and it didn't work, but he was also barely fancied (18/1) with the form of the yard questionable.
Still need to put a line through his Down Royal run but again, every runner in the race seems to have had a below par run / fall etc through the season.
Once the field firms up Festival week he'll be single figures for sure.

Glad to see I'm not alone. It wouldn't surprise me to see him almost favourite tbh.
Fakir’s form has just followed JOBs form, no idea what’s been the issue this season but if he starts to fire between now and Cheltenham you can expect fair improvement from all of his guns...
IF JOB starts firing he's going to have some seriously well handicapped horses, because I have no doubt he has some talented animals, but the yard form has been fairly rubbish this season.
Same can probably be said for Olly Murphy's lot too.

Yep, it could well be part of an elaborate plan and we're all left scratching our heads after the race(s), but far more likely he's had some serious issues that haven't been documented, perhaps the preview circuit might reveal something....

Yeah, all the previews must start soon? Can't remember the dates from last season.
