Thrown a bit of mad money, ew at Coneygree, must be getting to a point where he either struts his stuff or they call it a day, Sean Bowen on board is a huge plus for me too.

Market is nowOriginally posted by Kevloaf View PostFor the Betfair Chase, if Might Bite is a definite runner (which he is, isn't he?) and Native River is a definite runner (which I think he is)....in which solar system do you need to be living to have Bristol De Mai fav for this race?
The horses BDM thrashed last year were Cue Card, Outlander, Tea For Two, Traffic Fluide and Shantou Flyer - that was on HEAVY ground. Plenty made of how impressive the 57L victory was, but obviously can't be taken literally and I wouldn't back any of those beaten horses against Native River or Might Bite.
Obviously it was a flippant comment to say you'd need to be in a different solar system to see a way BDM could be favourite, as if the ground comes up HEAVY at Haydock, the case is easy enough to make. (Horses for courses sums it up pretty well)
but that'd be it for me... if he was 3rd fav, I'd see him as a decent betting prospect because he's a "Haydock specialist".... but no way I'd back him at 5/2 against the Gold Cup 1st and 2nd when they're CLEARLY being aimed at this race this time around for the £1m bonus.
I have no doubt people will disagree, and I'm looking forward to being there
Might Bite 13/8
Native River 10/3
Bristol De Mai 5/1
No sign of it getting Heavy...can't believe I didn't back myself on this!

No rain forecast at Haydock this week so it looks like being run on decent ground for a change.Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostMarket is now

Nope - should have backed Might Bite at 3/1Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View Post
Well actually, I should have had the gumption to lay Bristol De Mai at his price which was rubbish.
The bigger he gets, the more you can like his chances obviously but the market was priced up as if it was heavy going. I'd fancy Native River on soft - Might Bite on better than than and BDM on worse.Comment

Fehily booked for Might Bite if Nico out. Will probably please most. I am not sure.Comment

A lot of lads get jocked off for Noel. Havent really checked the stats but have a feeling that it doesnt work out that often.Comment

Good to soft at the moment. At the prices it would be Native River for me. Tough as old boots.Comment

Just the 5 entered, but what a 5!
Clan Des Obeaux for me at 25/1 ew. I anticipated it being a small field but not it being this classy. Anyone else going to it?Comment
