  • Anyone have any thought on how Pencilfulloflead will handle the drop in trip at Limerick? I don't think it'll be an issue, just expected a step up if anything and wonder if it's a hopeful runout rather than one with confident intent?

      I would tend to agree Jorvik - he should handle it fine.

      I think PT going to ride Asterion Forlonge is a tip in itself & Conflated coming out and winning by 17lenghts hasn’t done the form line any harm

      • On another note I really really like January jets but I have no idea why... purely visual

        I thought his run behind Envoi Allen was eye catching. I think I’ll be backing a reverse forecast. Klassical dream/ January Jets.

          I think it's a fascinating contest, especially when the other 3 are no mugs either. AF still has his jumping out to the right problems, but generally he gets over them in good fashion. The Pencil travels well between fences and visually jumped much more fluently at Punchestown when the pace picked up. I'd have AF fav still but 4/1 for Mr Pencil seems generous. A 10L defeat over hurdles looks much worse on paper than it does when you watch it back. Just one of those races I can't wait to see and don't need a bet in (even though I will/have), can't wait for Father Christmas to fuck off so we can get stuck into the real thing.

            I would agree - 9/2 I saw which seems very generous considering his recent form. Maybe they are over playing the step back in trip?

            We are in for a great few days of racing. We deserve it after the pile of shit that we’ve all been dealt this year

                      • Had my Paddy Power account suspended overnight because of suspected unauthorised access. A "sorry but we will have you back in no time at contact us" Email. I spent 15 minutes trying to sort, passed the computer questions but then all our agents are busy. I left them a 1 from 10 for service. Anybody else having similar with PP?

                        • Isit possible to have a place where people discuss there Christmas week bets. Who they like, what bets theyre having , value angles and all in one place (preferably with high traffic) but without clogging up the Chelt page. I saw the national hunt forum bit doesn’t get a load of traffic and let’s face it 75% of these graded winners head to chelts anway so Could we can justify a Xmas feed somewhere but don’t know if I can just start one or not to offer an ROI to the board

                          I think we all likely have a few tokens to lose next week and want to through a few darts. Be good to see if we can set up a Xmas only tipping page and put up all our fancies. Collectively we might earn a few quid !

                            I think the NH page is the right place for this 7B. Most of the regulars post their bets on there.

                            • Do you remember limini’s mares novices win?

                              She hasn’t raced over here but even in October was like a 6/1 fav.

                              There are some great minds on here, did anybody grab a fancy antepost price?

                                I always do an annual combination bet on Boxing Day so this year I have gone for a 10 horse selection block @ 0.1 points per line. Total stake of over 100 points! Bit of fun and the chance of a bonanza Christmas is always there too

                                This year’s block is:

                                Epatante, Zanahiyr, Felix Desjy, Asterion Forlonge, Cool Jet, Micro Manage, Shan Blue, Palm Beach, El Barra & Third Time Lucki
