PADDY POWER PLATE Handicap Chase

[Kevloaf]

I think it's sensible to back the value of a formline if you fancy it

[Benjy23]

Agreed, if you like the formline then cover the forecast and tricast combinations as well imo!!

I'd imagine him pulling up with no excuse in his next race is why he's so much bigger though. Where as Midnight River hasn't run since and Il Ridoto has won his only start since... Think the price discrepancy is as simple as that to be honest.

[Can't Catch Me]

Betting looking quite positive for Frero Banbou getting in! Looking at it, and still guesswork involved, think he might get in last on the list?

[Eggs]

….20 decs so far:

Frero, Seddon, Fugitif, Il Ridotto, So Scottish, Shakemupharry in there.

[Eggs]

…I count 24 declared so far.

Very interesting that Rachel has chosen to ride Marvel De Cerissy here in preference to the more experienced Champagne Gold who has been shorter in the market.

Reckon Marvel could be a dark un.

[Birds Nest]

Could anyone confirm frero made thr cut?

[FinalFurlong91]

Haut en coulers could be the class horse but his weak finishes are putting me off at this stage

Could anyone confirm frero made thr cut?

….yep, looks like no21 on race card. 24 runners plus 2 reserves.

He's just a big choker imo

Even if all the cards fell right for him he would still find a way to lose

Thats such a relief, i put him up in the handicap section on the 11th jan @33s and i was really worried and nervous i was responsible for peoples interest in him, although i feel quite proud iv been able contribute a little bit to the sight after iv been benefitting from all of your expert views over the years..i dont feel such a fraud too much anymore...

Some of these prices are stinking... Pretty sure last year I thought Fugitif & Seddon would go off a fair bit shorter on the day for this race, at about this far out (3 weeks) and both drifted on the day. I like Crebilly, but I won't be touching the 7/1, more than happy to wait.
