April ‘24 Yankee

[Frankely My Dear]

Was the Constitution Hill update that he'd been retired an April Fools or did I dream it?? Feels like I've missed something with him being put in yankees

It was an April Fools, that was quickly deleted, fortunately.

Given his hospitalisation at the time.

It was announced that he was returned home to recover, shortly after, on the same day.
So his recovery begins

[Frankely My Dear]

Thanks Saxon, I went back looking for it without success so wondered if I had imagined it. Fingers crossed he makes it next year

I’ve gone into corals and put 2 yankees on
jasmin des vaux supreme 8/1
ballyburn champion hurdle 7/1
caldwell potter 16/1/ impaire et passe 20/1 turners
croke park BANC 50/1

Fact to file is the only other one I've backed for the gold cup so far and i will be putting him in a yankee also, not decided what to do with IEF yet, was very impressive at kempton but Cheltenham a different ballgame and the form from Christmas hasn't exactly been boosted (RIP hermes allen). I think we could both be mad backing Ballyburn and getting involved in the mullins bingo already, good luck though, we will both need it !

Haha, yes probably right re Ballyburn, but I do like to form an early opinion sometimes and then see how that pans out, but I ain’t gone mad with the amount I put on the Yankee.
As for Fact to File he’s for me the one I’m most interested in for the Gold Cup, think he’s absolutely top notch and could prove to be one of the best we’ve seen.
Is his current price value though?
Im 50/50 on that.

I wouldn't say he was particularly good value but being a mullins trained horse owned by jp and an impressive banc winner with a massive reputation he was never likely to be a great price, like you say he could be top notch so 4/1 may look big next march. My thoughts on Ballyburn were he would go ballymore but was far from certain so bottled backing him at all, instead of going with what i thought, this time i have gone turners but with mainly free bets, can't face regretting it again, even though i may have the wrong race !

….giving this a post-Aintree bump. Not sure we have a theme but it seems posters are keen on selections with certain targets this far out.

F2F and Constitution Hill might be worth capturing with a couple who could impress at Punchestown in a few weeks.

Strong Leader from Olly Murphy has turned into a live Stayer's Hurdle contender after its Aintree G1 win.

Murphy has said he doesn't like the undulations of the course at chelt that's why he never went this year and waited for Aintree, wouldn't suprise me if he does the same next year

[Frankely My Dear]

I think F2F is a good early yankee pick and a strong alternative to Galopin, who will be heading for the record books if he takes in another GC. Agree that 4-1 could prove appealing by next March

….Dysart Enos (Mares Hurdle) 14-1 would be mine for consideration. Form stacking up nicely given his bumper win over Golden Ace. BDA likely going chasing is another plus.

We've already had this discussion but, 2 weeks ago we thought that 4 horses were the most likely winners of their respective races. In my view it would be very strange to be looking at alternatives to them this early although I accept that Punchestown might change that.

Why did DE miss Aintree??
