    Flooring Porter, Klassical Dream, Blazing Khal, Bob Olinger, Zanahiyr, Sire du Berlais - potentially as good as this division has been for a while.

    I'm leaning towards The Nice Guy going this way too.

      Where he will be up against Flooring Porter. Tasty.

        Go on the Bob!!!

        Seems the exchanges knew a month or so ago about this decision then

          Bookies aren't taking any chances either. 16's into 12's best price.

            I'd need to see him run first before adding him . He was desperate in his last two races. Funny saying that as he 'won' one ! Could be a player if he gets back to where he was.

              Certainly making the stayers hurdle a lot more interesting, porter was looking a near good thing but a few more names going into the mix now.

                Couldn't fancy Bob for this personally

                He might get 3 miles on a flat track but can't see him staying in a stayers hurdle

                Would also need to see him run first as he looked to have physical issues at both Cheltenham and punchestown

                  Agree FF. If he does come back ok then Aintree Hurdle looks right up his street.

                    Bob Olinger has to prove himself again before I'll be backing him. Samcro and Envoi Allen never really built on there early promise and I wouldn't bet on Bob Olinger going the same way.

                      With all this Aintree talk you're starting to sound like Paul Nicholls the last couple of days, Lobos.

                      Bob into as low as 8s with Bet365 now... this market has changed quite rapidly the last few days with Zanahiyr and Blazing Khal too.

                        All still have to get past Flooring. Unfortunately for them his trainer says he's in the best shape he's ever been in. Sounds ominous !!! Still great value.

                          They've cut Flooring Porter too in recent days too. Not much being pushed out either.

                          It's probably already been done to death but given how tight it is at the top of some of the ante post markets this year, I'm wondering how anyone can make a book in some of the graded races.

                            As noted in my diary to Lobos, the problem with waiting for him to prove himself again is that by the time he's done the business again he'll be half the price or worse for the race, then comes the question of whether he's too short or not

                              Only thing for it is a couple of free bets on Bob O

                                On the flip side, you've done your dough if he runs like a drain. I'd prefer having a bigger bet at half the odds once he's showed he still has it.

                                He was too short at 16s imo given how he finished last season.
