Fair one. Would be a step in the right direction but 2m 3f, right handed, against likely crap opposition though. Not sure we'd learn much and his only notable recent runner stepped back to the Supreme after winning it. I'm still not convinced he's Ballymore bound. But guess Segal might know more on their plans...
Pricewise tipping up Billericay tonight is horrendous.IMO.
A doubtful runner according to Willie's comments and one of the slower times today against fucking rubbish.
The mare was 4 seconds quicker, Built By Ballymore carried more weight ans was 8 seconds quicker and beat a 116 and 112 in second and third.
And the 85 rated horse won the last race at 2m 4f on likely worst ground and was only 3 seconds slower.
What has he seen ?
Guessey as fuck, especially at 16-1.

I was impressed with BD today, the time may have been slow but im sure he could have set the pace and won by half the track if he wanted to. However, Willies comments left the door open for 2 miles to my ear anyway.

Built By Ballymore was more impressive and at 25-1 Coral cup was decent value.
16-1 still not bad NRNB.

I’ve got THTN , Jango and F&F all at big prices, so nice to see them getting mentioned on here.
In an open year I’ve not given up on any of them turning up on the day and running a big race.
The ground is going to be a big thing as often is,form during the season might not define the race,eg… as Rooster said, F&F on better ground could well be interesting.
Big fan of Favour and Fortune myself. He was my each way bet of the entire festival last year but the ground went against him in the Bumper.
Alan King thinks a lot of him. Quicker ground and a proper pace to run at and I think he’s a live one for what looks a piss poor supreme.
My worry is the jockey booking. Kieran Callaghan either suggests they're not that interested or being prepped for a Martin Pipe run (leaving it late for a fourth run).
Just on this... the race is only for jockey's who haven't ridden more than 10 winners in the last year, hence the jockey booking. Guess it's through lack of options that they entered Mistergif here, so probably not worth reading too much into it either way.

That’s fair, but would you have thought they’d run him in the race Anotherway won yesterday if he was above him in the picking order?
Jango Baie and billerericay dickie at 16s and 12s respectively.
….Segal wasted no time getting Billericay onboard, yesterday’s 100-1 WTAF with PP looking ok now for those who got on, they’re 10-1 B&B now. 14-1 looks about the best about, fingers crossed he’s on the boat. Jango still 33-1 with BFSB.

Possibly, could be lots of reasons I suppose though. Maybe he's just a more straight forward ride, who knows. Willie has so many novices, he's probably forced to use races like this from time to time and doesn't really know the pecking order until they've been out.
Anyone else chanting 'daddy long legs on spring ground' in their head like me
Currently only bet in the supreme. Cashed Jeriko, missed price on ballyburn, favouring middle distance and backed inly backed mystical power in the ballymore.
Daddy long legs, stiff task but 33s. Whoever wins the tattersalls will/should be fav.

The ground is currently heavy on the hurdle track at Leopardstown....
