GDM & NHC and GW & H'cap sound like antepost non runners! Clever boosts.

GDM & NHC

I think this is very likely...

[Lobos]

I think this is very likely...

Not if he wins today though Ista. I think that's quite obvious. Not sure he will though so NHC backers may finally be able to breathe more easily. Intriguing race.

[Istabraq]

Not if he wins today though Ista. I think that's quite obvious.

Why would it be obvious Lobos ?
I get the angle that they might be swayed by the BANC but Mullins could still have a strong hand in that race anyway and with the NH Chase likely to cut up to a smallish field it could be a penalty kick for GDM.
As you say it might not be a discussion after the race anyway if Mighty Potter powers away or JDB throws his hat into the ring, maybe even your old friend Kilcruit could be a factor, who knows, but I'd still say GDM is still NH Chase bound...

[Lobos]

I don't think he has a strong hand at all. I'm thinking if he beats that lot then he'll definitely be his best staying novice and Willie will fancy his chances of beating Gerri, Thyme Hill and the Whacker. The owner has Ramillies and possibly City for the NHC so no need to send GDM there as they'll have a stranglehold on the race anyway.

I'd love City Chief to head to the race but with a sub 145 mark I think he'll now be Ultima or Kim Muir bound sadly.
Ramilies too could end up under 145 so he has the handicap options open too...

[Benjy23]

I think this is very likely...

I think it's hugely unlikely he's beat the Turners fav over an intermediate trip today and then they'd step him up a mile at Cheltenham for a G2! Wins today and he'd go BANC I reckon but the Turners would probably come into discussion more than the NH Chase.

Can't have him winning today anyway though. So it's all good.

Yeah I think he's only running in this because bar pitching him against the the best there's no other race for him.
I doubt he'll have the speed to go with 2/3 of these when then turn the taps on but Mullins must think the timing of the race works well for his Cheltenham plan, had it been deep ground he might have been competitive...

Pleasantly surprised to see Sky have refunded bets on the NR’s I had in WTAF bets over the weekend.

Did you (or anyone else...) do the American Mike one? I only did two, the other got refunded but that one didn't.

No I’d just done Favori De Champdou & Gerri Colombe.

I did both American Mike ones (Bally and Bartlett) - both are still open bets on sky
