I'm all for a bold opinion, and I'm also all for L'homme Presse not winning a GC to be honest, but that's just complete nonsense isn't it. Wouldn't back it at 1000/1...

Also ran a mid 160 RPR on good to soft hasn't he. So not even sure the ground comment is completely warranted. Undoubtedly prefers a bit of a cut but how often don't we see soft in the description at Cheltenham these days. 2/2 at the course as well, as has been said.

Wouldn't be my first pick but if anyone does fancy laying the 1000/1 I'll be in the queue.

Give JD a ring Benjy. Opinions is what it's all about. Be very, very boring without them !

Agreed pal. And I don't want to listen to any fence sitting! I just think the 1000/1 part might be a lie

I've just looked up L'homme Presse on Betfair (wasn't even aware what price he was before that tbh) and can lay at 17/1! Assume he's balls deep in that already (for the avoidance of doubt I know he's not)

Would be interesting to know who people on here feel is the biggest lay of the meeting of the fancied ones, even this far out.


I Have several I don't fancy at all ........ Elimay, Epatante (Mares Hurdle) would be at the top of my list if I did lay horses.

100% agree on Elimay. As many on here have stated, it's too early to be backing mares but I think Scarlett and Dove is better horse and only for Elimay getting weight this year at Cheltenham, S&D would have won.

Paddypower have added more cheltenham antepost races to their site. From looking I think Bumper, Mares novice and triumph have been added.

With you on Redemption Day. Reckon he's ground dependant so the Tuesday G/S or worse will be against him.

Not sure re AM. If Facile Vega is very good then he's pretty good.

Epatante......tick.

Shishkin......tick

I don't think epatante will even run in the mares hurdle so she'd have to be right up there

I do not think she'll run anywhere. Reckon she'll be gracefully retired.

Is anyone struggling to get onto their 365 app? I can't log in - not been able to for a few hours...

[Black Dog]

The website is fine I don't use the app as I frequently had similar problems

….not used the app for months, it was very unreliable.

[Zachx02]

I sacked the app off months ago. Kept telling me my password was incorrect, always logging me out

James Stevens of Racing Post with an update on Love Envoi:

"Last season’s Cheltenham Festival heroine is not back at the yard yet, she had a minor injury during the summer and will start training in the next few weeks.

She should be run by November/December and the Mares’ Hurdle is her big target for the season."
