What's going on?
Wagwan is a way to say What's going on? in Jamaican English, used throughout the Jamaican diaspora (or where Jamaican people live outside of Jamaica), especially in South London

......and I thought "What's Going On" was a Marvin Gaye thing

Asked a pal to get a small press on Three Striped Life (Turners) this morning with PP but they’ve trimmed him to 12/1 from 16/1.
Is 12/1 still a play ?

I think its ok for an each way bet if you believe that’s the race that he will end up in, which I believe he will.

But it depends on how you bet.

I’ve backed him like this:

Two e/w doubles

Three Striped Life & Constitutional Hill – 34/1

Three Striped Life & Honey Suckle – 57/1

Most my bets are e/w doubles when the odds are over 20/1 and I look for a return of about ?500

If I backed Three Striped Life e/w single it would cost me about ?62.00, so I have backed him in two e/w doubles for two horses who I believe if all goes well, 1 will certainly win and 1 has a great chance of placing. To back both like this it cost me only ?42.00, compared to ?62.00 saving ?20.00 and I believe I have him covered better like this.

I can see three stripe life winning his novice chase at down royal at long odds on and being slashed to 5s/6s

whether he remains that low after is a different question as the mullins battalions will be waiting and it is unlikely he gets to Cheltenham unbeaten unless he improves a good bit for fences

I'd say so. He's one that I think everyone should get onside. The Turners usually cuts up to handful of runners, and he has to be the most likely Elliott runner. I can's say he's definitely the winner, but he's a major contender, and he'll be a fraction of that price assuming he isn't a pig over fences.

Not a 'fancy' as such, but Idoles Des Jeunes out on Monday. Be interesting to see how she gets on. Was quite a bit of interest in her last year I believe.

[That Horse]

The Shark telling the RP that Hewick is going to the Kerry National and then could be aimed down the Gold Cup route.

Don't think he's priced up anywhere. Road to Riches looks like he was the last Galway Plate winner to have gone close to winning the Gold Cup (finished 3rd).

Only took 2 years of backing her for her to actually come out!

Really excited to follow An Tobar this year. The form of his PTP win has worked out really well and he's certainly an exciting prospect - although everyone knows about him now.

Ballymore would look the obvious target and reckon 20/1 is still very fair. Fingers crossed he trains on and makes into a top novice hurdler!

….Ten to Follow from the P2P campaign;

Unsurprising to see a number of these already highlighted on here, including An Tobar, Barry the Butcher & Kudasheva. Bit of a guess which trainer these are being sent to or whether a Bumper or Hurdles campaign is planned, but I suppose that’s part of the fun.
