He could run well though on good to soft...
I don't think he's classy enough to win regardless of conditions. He'd need everything to go right and a few to underperform / fall.

I recollect a post from maybe 6-8 weeks ago asking if anyone can ‘requestabet’ “Irish horses to finish 123 in 3 or more races”, as the 6/4 that was offered up this very time last year was the steal of the century, shortly settling on odds of 1/2 within 48 hours.
Well, last night, it all became too clear again - last year was indeed a steal (and this year’s ‘iteration’ is a horrible joke.
Under Irish Specials on SKYBet -
irish trained horses to finish 123 in……..
9+ races - 1/2
10+ races - 10/11
11+ races - 6/4 (last year you needed just 3!!!!!)
12+ races -11/4
13+ races - 5/1
14+ races - 8/1
If you fancy this to happen indeed 15 times, you’ll be offered 12/1.
To think 10 races is still odds on is extremely hard to fathom, even taking into account the Irish battalions arriving on English shores.
This year, I will put my head above the parapet and suggest this year’s ‘shortie to print money’ is “Willie Mullins to train the winner of the Triumph Hurdle @ odds of 1/3.
To have the top of the market trio of Lossiemouth, Blood Destiny & Gala Marceau all covered to win this bet at 1/3 (in a race likely to be 10 runners or less, and with the 4th horse in the market at 10/1) appears surely to be one of the prices of the week??
Or is it just me?

My dad will be turning in his grave at what he's raised, but I'd like to prepare for disappointment - I'm guessing the bars in Best Mate don't sell champagne right? Guess it's gonna be Madri, Burton on Trent's finest Spanish lager for me
