Worth mentioning again that RWF (and Plan of Attack) are entered for the Leinster National on Sunday which is a bigger prize pot than the Kim Muir (what isn’t??) so backers will be hoping neither are declared. Guess we find out later this morning?

Leinster national is worth ?8k more but it's not Cheltenham. If Gigginstown come over I'm sure Run Wild Fred will be on the boat.Comment

HdBs piece in the Irish field seems to suggest they are leaning Leinster National for Plan of AttackComment

Beau Bay is set to take another step up in trip and go for the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Handicap Chase at Cheltenham.
Trainer Richard Newland believes the three and a quarter miles will suit the 10-year-old, after he stayed three miles well to score at Doncaster.
Beau Bay also holds an entry in the Randox Grand National, but it is highly unlikely he will make the cut because he was rated only 136 until after his win on Town Moor last month.
He was raised 6lb to 142 following that success, but it came after the weights for the Aintree spectacular were published.
He won the two-mile-five-furlong Grand Sefton Handicap Chase over the National fences in December, and it is possible Beau Bay could still be back in action there for the Topham Chase if conditions are suitable.
“The handicapper put him up 6lb for his latest win, but it was too late for the National. I’m sure he won’t get in so I’m not expecting to get a run there,” said Newland.
“He might run in the Topham, but the plan is to go to the Kim Muir at Cheltenham – and we’ll take a view after that. He’s had quite a busy season.
“If he runs respectably in the Kim Muir, I might say there’s a chance we’ll keep going to Aintree in case he got in the National -and the ground would have to be soft in the Topham. I think they will be a bit too fast for him in that race if it wasn’t.
“We’re going for the Kim Muir. I think stepping up in trip is the way to go, and we’ll see how he gets on.”
50/1 with Ladbrokes is big for a Grand Sefton winner.Comment

I've changed my mind for this race, and decided to go with Mount Ida. Rated 142, plus beaten a horse that won in the weekend. Plus I think upping in trip will be no problem at all in fact I think it would suit even better since it won a point to point and when going over hurdles it came 2nd on good ground earlier in the horses career.
Plan of attack I've looked at again and I just have doubts over its plans and I think Mount Ida is better to go with since the horse is still lightly raced.Comment

A definite trading angle there.Originally posted by Nwfb89 View Post
The biggest priced fav was 13/2 in the last 10 years, so that's close...
But then it's 11/2
The majority are 5 or 4
That's where we see Run Wild Fred isn't it?
I suppose it's not 100% he goes off fav, but he really, really should.

One thing that might hold his price up a little is the proper gamble that appears to be going on the McManus owner Time To Get Up who is roughly the same price.Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostComment
