25/1 is probably about right, but I think it makes sense to wait with horses trained by smaller yards. Willie and Nicky have a stranglehold on the race and their horses (rightly or wrongly) are always going to be priced much much shorter. Post Kempton connections name checked Aintree then talked about handicaps (name checked the Betfair Hurdle) as a potential target, so you wouldn't be sure he goes Supreme like some of others. Even if he were to win the Betfair Hurdle (and I would back him) I doubt he'd go shorter than 10/1 for a Supreme and at that point I'd be happy to pull the trigger if it is the target, rather than backing now at 25/1 and not being sure. It might actually make more sense to back him for the betfair hurdle and roll up winnings on new supreme price.

Yeah I'm not sure, maybe somebody has taken a stance that he's simply not good enough. I've had a look this morning and it appears I could back him for the ballymore @46 for ?18? is that correct?
was available at 100+ to 1
all small amounts though so like you say, he's not a fashionable one and people may just be taking him on for small amounts.

The Challow looks a decent contest to see how good Hermes Allen actually is. Joyeux Machin coming over from Ireland.
I’m a big fan of Hermes Allen. I saw Posh Josh tweeted that BMG would win the King George after he won the Challow. I’d say the same for Hermes Allen as he’ll be a better chaser than hurdler and three miles will be where he’s best in the future.
