    Load him up with Allegorie Dave, you know its the right thing to do.

      …PP were 33-1 in October, they then greyed cash-out when this looked a very unlikely target. 365 were 25-1 but did allow cash-out. It’s funny how some bets resurrect. Disappointing to cash-out 365 but glad PP took a different view.

        That looks like the sort of filthy double I got lambasted for earlier !
        Decent bet though.
        Each way...

          Seen it so many times, wild card entry gets smashed and just keeps getting shorter, like you I've sat there watching the price tumble and done nothing, and it could end up being a race I'll have little/no interest in.
          Hoping someone sticks up a 3/1 win only bet in the ring...

            Haha, I feel like I've got enough on Allegorie. She's going to finish off the festival nicely

              So I backed him with Betfair at 33s, and then cashed him out after GE's comments earlier in the season. I then backed him again at 10s but cashed that shortly after when the XC didn't appear to be the plan. Then put him in an each way double with Third Time Lucki at 6s and 25s when the money started to come but cashed that after Dan Skelton's comments.

              I do have him in bits and pieces at 6s but nothing to get excited about

              Maybe it just isn't meant to be

                I backed him at 25/1 too, then cashed him out after he won at Punchestown at the start of the season. Just got him in doubles & trebles now

                • Have let the 33s roll. Delta would still be a bigger winner for me, but Galvin a lovely cover. If another comes from
                  nowhere I would be surprised and gutted as I won’t be playing anything else!

                    • Galvin 3.3 on the machine.
                      He's going off 7/4 isn't he ?
                      11/8 Delta, 7/4 Galvin ?

                        All depends on the weather. Little rain and I think Galvin goes off fav.

                        • That would be bonkers if Galvin goes off favourite.

                          Delta Work would be max bet material

                            You listed the late Elliott runners that sunk the good things the other day didn't you ?
                            This year is a mirror image, I can only back Galvin right now...

                                If ever that question was valid it was last year, Tiger Roll the absolute superstar of the game for the past 6 years, box office name, and he chucks in Delta Work to pick him up 50 yards from the line...
