    Haha I remember when I mentioned Sir Gerhard and the BANC in a sentence, basically shot down Who knew, months down the line Willie would do the same thing

      I'd make no festival appearance fav after that, held back for Punchestown
      No chance IMO. His record at Punchestown stinks the place out. Willie also acknowledged that he might not like the track last year. More likley Aintree if held back but I think he'll go to Cheltenham.

        someone got 1000-1 on exchange as well.
        Well trainer just mentioned BANC as most likely, but in his usual way!!,and straight to festival.

        No thanks.

          ….interesting Hills 5-1NRNB Turners, the 20-1 BANC appears to have almost gone.

          50-1 next years GC with PP. Steady on.

              • All slotting into place nicely:

                Arkle - DD / EF
                Turners - AI / JdB
                BANC - SG
                NH Chase - GdM

                With a few other floaters to make up the numbers

                • Nearly fell off my chair (not even sat on one) when he started talking about NHC

                    Nope. Typical Willie.

                    Think his best chance of winning would be the BANC as it looks proper poor. As a backer I'd be more than happy with that.

                      Haha, even if he’s entered he’s got to qualify. Good luck!

                      I backed him ages ago pre injury for the Turners and that’s where I think he’ll end up. But his jumping today was pretty ropey (which you’d expect for a novice) and slow. Worth watching this short clip…

                        ….20-1 BANC definitely gone now.

                        • This time last year, it was just so simple. We only had to work out where DD and SG went for their novice hurdles, knowing they'd be kept apart. This year, it's 6-7 to fit into 4 races. Multiples for me, when we know more. What's the betting one of the novice chasers has a set back over the next 7 weeks?

                            • If he's thinking Sir Gerhard will stay three miles for the BA then surely sooner or later he has to also be thinking Stayers Hurdle - and he does have an entry in that.

                                Yes I stupidly backed him for the stayers in running today.
