When do the Irish horses typically travel over?

2/3 days before the festival, they're housed at the on course stables...

In the past, Willie has boarded some of his Thursday/Friday runners at Aintree. Partly so as to not take up too much stabling at Cheltenham and partly for logistical reasons so that his runners can go home on the day of the race.

Rob James might be a decent bet for top jockey if anyone got him priced up.
Would want 50-1 or higher though.
Might be on a few of Gordon's.

I was trying to puzzle together what his book of rides might look like

Britzka/Ebasari/the tide turns, after Davy and Jack have had their say
run wild fred
column of fire
Sdb
frontal assault

then could pick up a few rides in the handicaps from other yards possibly too

[Pendil1111]

Just found 5 more NRNB’s where the horse I have backed is not in the betting for the race I have backed them for. Definitely making money out of unsettled NRNB bets via interest !!

Bet365 have ADV in the Ballymore betting ?????? 5/1 NRNB......ante post 200/1 ???

Yeah maybe 100-1

If JP & Gigginstown are happy for him to ride favourites in handicaps then he may pick up other rides too.
He ought to get rides in all 3 amateur races as well. Even the cross country.
Run Wild Fred
SDB
Frontal Assault
The Shunter
Andy Dufresne

All possibilites.
If we knew his list of rides a perm on those may be the better option, before Kevloaf mentions it.

There was a bit of chat on the requestabets section a couple of days ago. A couple of us managed to snaffle 25/1 2+ winners before it was taken down and reduced to 9/2!!! 33/1 3+ winners now as a sky requestabet if that interests you? It's a bit short for me though

9/2 ???
might as well remove it
25-1 was decent though

[Redbridge]

Smoking or Gambling, I packed in smoking 28 yr ago and someone told me the other day that a pack of fags now cost 11 quid, glad I choose the cheaper option.

Before the net we would stand in smoke filled betting shops as a hobby for hours on end, I can't remember the last time I visited such an establishment.

What price is he for 1+ winners? That'll be the sensible bet.

Fury Road Ultima is another I had down as a possible. Unlikely but possible. No harm done chucking him in with a few of your others nrnb perhaps?

[Odin]

10/11 for 1+, 9/2 for 2+, 33/1 for 3+ now.

Wouldn't take any of them, but they show how 'good' the 25/1 2+ was, particularly if he gets the RWF and Sire Du Berlais rides alongside Frontal Assault and any others.

[Lobos]

10/11 is a price that will definitely interest Q. He thinks he's potentially going to be top jockey. That looks a seriously good price to me although im not a short odds punter.
